The area close to the building was not the best looking place, but the building and interior was nice and clean. Well lit. We Got to our room and the kitchen wasn't equipped. The dishwasher couldn't open because the stove was in the way. We couldn't use any of the dishes as they were in the dishwasher. We tried doing laundry and it flooded the bathroom area. We asked for a refund and got nothing. It was a huge inconvenience as it was four of us and we couldn't access the kitchen.

First of all, we would like to thank you for your feedback. Your room is the king suite, and you can't do laundry in that room. We let you use the kitchen. After 2 days of stay, you asked for a refund. We helped you enough, sorry for the inconveniences

Close to shopping and restaurants. Location is amazing. It is a house turned into hotel. Rooms we spacious and clean and staff and management was great. Room itself can use an upgrade. Tiny a, no fans, broken trinkets and bathroom window hinges, hard to open/close bathroom door. Such spacious and amazing room but these small things bring it down. I hope management can take a deeper look and take care of these small things.

My family and I are so in love with this hotel and town. The hotel couldn’t be more perfect. We actually dreamt about living here. The room is huge ( we are a family of 4). It’s decorated very nicely. The bathroom is lovely with a big walk in shower enough for 4. Very hot water right away and the WiFi works everywhere even on the patio. The patio is huge with spectacular views of the mountains, ocean, village and fortress. At night the fortress lights up and it’s very magical. We got to watch the sunset every night from our patio. The beds are soooo comfortable and the down blankets are so soft and cozy. The windows open throughout the room which we loved. Woke up to the birds singing and the town coming alive. There’s many parks in town if you have kids. The village is lovely and the best restaurant we found was Ejder. Best food we’ve had living in Turkey 🇹🇷 over the past 7 months. We ate there several times during our stay. Enjoy! I promise you’ll love it.

Great value and comfortable stay.
Great hospitality, easy parking, and very kind and warm staff that even helped us getting Turkish HES health codes. The room was spacious and spotless with a older style of decor. The location was on a residential street fairly close to the main sites with a nice patio out front. The breakfast was generous, but somewhat meager by Turkish standards.

Which room you have booked, we reserve that room for you. Of course, the view also changes according to the room. These options are already written at the booking stage. If you had read more carefully, you could have booked a room with a view for a slightly higher price. In addition, if you said your sound distubance to us, we would warn other customers. Customer satisfaction is more important to us. Thanks.

Small clean and simple hotel close to Ephesus.
Small simple hotel, very clean and basic, staff is lovely and extremely helpful. Location is great for Ephesus, Castle and other sites in Selçuk but the area where the hotel is isn’t pretty (but to be fair the whole city is rather not pretty) but you can see the castle from the hotel. There is a nice outside terrace to chill.

Decent place, clean and tidy
The guy looking after the hotel was having a snooze when we arrived but it wasn’t really a problem considering how quiet the tourism industry was when we travelled. We were showed to our room which was clean, tidy and well presented. The only negative point worth mentioning was the speed of the internet which was terrible! When you travel to a country which isn’t included in your mobile networks roaming package it’s important to have access to decent WiFi to plan your travels this is the only reason we took a mark off for service.

The hotel had amazing customer service as soon as we checked in and the breakfast was excellent. The rooms were clean and well presented and the view was also picturesque. It was a 5km drive to the actual attractions but the hotel was well worth its price. There are food places within a miles radius and it's a beautiful place to walk around in the evening. I would definitely visit again and recommend this to anyone.

This is a gem of a hotel. The staff can not do enough for you. The rooms are nice and large and wonderful towels, large and very soft. The beds are very comfortable and each room has a TV and heating and air conditioning. It is a little hard to find but if you follow the instructions from the hotel you should be able to find it without to much difficulty The breakfast was enormous and so much variety. Also the price of beer was very reasonable. It was easy to find car parking in front of the hotel. Also nice and close to all the major sites of the area.

Despite the name, this place has nothing to do with palace! It is a guest house with private bathroom. Bedroom is small and not sound proof. We had to listen to the kids next door screaming and laughing over the two nights we stayed there. Breakfast was very simple and didn't even have green salad. Very disappointed. bathroom only has shampoo and no condioner or shower gel

Dear guest, You mentioned about your staying room but you booked already family room. Also, that's room is big. We have bigger king rooms. If you booked king room instead of family room , you can stayed in the king room. Also our rooms have sound proof between each other. Instead of giving our hotel a low rating during your stay at the hotel, we would have helped you better if you told us about these issues. We wouldn't let them bother you.

A definitely pleasant stay.
It’s a fairly new building, more like a huge house converted into a hotel. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Coffee was so so, there’s room for improvement. I loved the homemade jam, the olives and the jam. I also like that there was a kettle in the room with complimentary tea and coffee. The owner is very welcoming as well as the breakfast lady. This is a hotel worth coming back to. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.

Nice family run small hotel up the hill from the main part of town. Our room was comfortable and spacious. The family are very nice and helpful even though communication was limited (us no Turkish, them no English). Breakfast was okay but limited and the only coffee was Nescafé. There are no restaurants nearby so if you don't have a car be prepared for a steep hill climb on returning.

Nice stop over hotel.
Lovely room really big and grest view from the terrace (we stayed in the Sultan Suite) however the door had glass pannelling which meant we were distrubed each time the light in the hall way went on, this happened quite a lot. Beakfast was nice. Location a bit out of Selcuk centre which means it is quiet. Close to Sirince and Ephesus
