Guest Reviews
- Prashila_09 (10/5): Comfortable Hidden Gem - We only stayed at the hotel for 1 night as we wanted to squeeze a visit to Ephesus into our trip. The hotel was a walk away from Selcuk town which has beautiful and vibrant streets. The hotel was quiet, clean and had a beautiful breakfast spread. The one downside with the manager's assistant was that their limited understanding of English. So long as the manager was around, it was all okay. We had a wonderful stay!
- ALEJANDRA (10/5): - This hotel is unique. I was really happy to see how to clean it was. I only stayed one night, but I have a friend who will be coming next week and I have recommend this hotel for her to stay. Staff is friendly.
- jacinta (6/5): - Location was great, room itself & pool area very nice. Breakfast adequate. The room described which I booked included a yard/patio but was not the room we were given. Rooms did have balconies but ours did not even though I had booked 6 months in advance & paid extra for this. The staff attitude was I don’t know why that happened- this is the only option you have. Was very disappointed
- Ziang (10/5): - Lovely stay.
- MartinNZ04 (10/5): Enjoyable Stay - My wife and I stayed 3 nights at this hotel. Our room was spacious and clean, with a nice bathroom. Our room looked on to a nice swimming pool. The room was clean and was made up after 2 nights. The staff were polite and friendly, and advised about the area and mini buses. We had a nice breakfast each morning consisting of cereal, scrambled eggs, pastries, cake, and salads. It was about 5-10 minutes walk from the train station. St John's Basilica is a short walk of about 300 meters away. Also, the museum is a short walk away. The mini bus stop under the bridge is a 5-10 minute walk where you can catch a bus to kusadasi or Ephesus. I had a swim on our last day, which was very refreshing after walking in the heat all day. The only thing I will say is my wife would not go in the pool as it is over her head and too deep, and she likes to touch bottom. It's not a problem for me, but for some people, it might be slightly too deep. We enjoyed our stay here and would stay again if in the area, and we would totally recommend it to other travelers.
- Paula (10/5): - Lots of character and the owners are lovely and helpful. Rooms are large by European standards. Great location next to sights and a pedestrian shopping/eating zone. Will recommend to all my friends.
- BananaCM (10/5): Beautiful, quaint, authentic boutique hotel in Ephesus - This hotel is such a find and we are so grateful for the beautiful hospitality of this family-run spot. What lovely people and a lovely hotel! It's located in the center of Selcuk town, and you have great restaurants, shopping, and incredible ancient ruins just a few steps away. We really loved the decor touches, and made it truly feel rustic and authentic to the area. The breakfast was just incredible and super fresh! There were a few items we had not yet tried in our time in Turkey. One extra-special detail - we reached out ahead of our stay to organize a tour, and they found us the most perfect tour guide for a private tour of many of the famous sites in Ephesus that was one of the most memorable parts of our whole trip. Highly highly recommend this hotel and we hope to visit again soon!
- Mark (10/5): - A wonderful boutique hotel in the heart of the old town. A great breakfast every morning. And a refreshing pool. Highly recommend
- Lisa (10/5): - This hotel is simply beautiful. It is uniquely laid out, with a variety of room options for different numbers of guests. I would say if mobility is an issue, this is not the space for you, but if not, you should definitely stay here. It is conveniently located for a trip to Ephesus, and across the main road is a charming area to shop and eat. The room we chose had a lovely balcony overlooking the pool. Sadly, we had to leave very early and were unable to enjoy the breakfast in the pretty indoor/outdoor space.
- Evelyn (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Celsus Hotel. Ephesus (archeological site) was only 9 min drive away. While it was hot outside, we enjoyed a cool room with AC and pool to cool down in. I highly recommend this gem of a spot. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was 5-star, too!
- Leopoldo M (10/5): - Celsus Boutique Hotel was a fantastic base for our stay in Selçuk. The staff were incredibly attentive and welcoming. The location is excellent — just a short drive (under 10 minutes) to Ephesus and only a 4-minute walk to the Basilica of St. John. Great local restaurants are also within easy reach. The property is spotless, and our room was very comfortable. Parking our rental car was easy and convenient. Breakfast was generous, fresh, and delicious every morning. The only downside was the Wi-Fi in the room, which was slow and intermittent. That said, the connection in the lobby was excellent — I had two video meetings there without any issues. Overall, highly recommended and I would definitely stay again.
- Monica (10/5): - Celsus hotel was amazing. The staff were friendly, the hotel quaint, newly renovated and absolutely wonderful. They were courteous to have the roll away bed brought in a set up prior to our arrival and without even asking (they noticed we were a family of four with small children), and had the AC on to cook the room. During check in our hostess was friendly and gave us a bit of information on local history and sites to check out and she was spot on! I did t realize how close and walkable the area was to historical sites, cafes, and shopping. A must stop for your travels!
- Traveler60763124008 (10/5): Hospital boutique hotel - Celsius Boutique Hotel is well situated, central but quiet and relaxing. The staff was exceptionally friendly and the breakfast was excellent. We would come again anytime!
- Moon (10/5): - The pool area is magical. LIke a little oasis. It is a around the corner from Basilica of St John. We stayed in the family suite for 4 people. It was nice and clean. The staff was very helpful. It was an excellent value.
- Omaima (10/5): - Very nice hotel Amazing breakfast Lovely place to stay
- Adnan (8/5): - Very clean. Helpful staff. Some what limited Turkish breakfast. No parking. No dining, however, there are many eateries nearby.
- sonia (10/5): - Beautiful co
- garylV648FS (10/5): Wonderful hotel! Friendly staff and great location! - We had a wonderful stay here. The room was clean, we loved our balcony, and breakfast was excellent, with many of the items coming directly from the owner’s farm. Great location, near Ephesus Ancient City, Ephesus Museum and right across from St.John Basilica. Easy to do day trips by bus to Sirince, Kasudasi and Izmir. They were helpful in setting up our day trip to Pamukkale and arranged our transport to the hotel and to the train station. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We loved our stay here!
- Skisnowy (10/5): Charming boutique hotel - We stayed in a deluxe double room with a view over the pool. A nice, large room that was very comfortable. This is a family run hotel and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast with cooked to order eggs. The only thing to be aware of is the proximity to the mosque, it is right next to the hotel so the early morning call to prayer feels like it is coming from inside the room. It didn’t detract from the charm of this boutique hotel and we would highly recommend staying here while in Selcuk.
- Rebecca (10/5): - What an absolute gem! The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff was super kind and attentive. The hotel was within walking to several sites and restaurants.
- hellorendo (8/5): Wonderful hotel full of character - A wonderful hotel full of character. Very well located, just a few meters from Apostle St John Cathedral and Medieval Fortress of Selcuk, short walk to the centre of town. Spacious rooms with comfortable beds, small balcony, good bathroom, loads of character. Very friendly staff. Huge and tasty breakfasts. There is also an outdoor pool which we didn't use (too cold in March to swim). Beware, lots of steps.
- KristenW798 (10/5): Unique hotel - highly recommend! - We loved our stay here! The building is both charming and peaceful. Feels like an oasis. Easy to park. Centrally located - sites, restaurants, and cafes all walkable. Delicious breakfasts! Staff were warm and helpful. We highly recommend!
- Kristen (10/5): - Excellent hospitality. Absolutely charming. The breakfast was excellent. In a nice part of town. We loved our stay!
- Ioana (10/5): - Gorgeous family-run hotel! The rooms are so tastefully decorated, you'll want to tiptoe around. And the breakfast buffet? Amazing – the best of our whole trip; fresh stuff and eggs cooked to order. Mom and I loved it so much, we extended our stay. Big thanks to Dünyam and Malik – they were super helpful and friendly.
- Anca (10/5): - We stayed at this hotel for two nights and really enjoyed it. It’s just minutes from Ayasuluk Castle and a pleasant walk to the Ephesus ruins if you don’t mind walking for about an hour. The hotel was very clean, the rooms were well-appointed with thoughtful details, and the breakfast was nicely presented and delicious. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
- Greg (10/5): Great hotel, great location. - This was a quaint little hotel with everything you needed. It was about a 2 minute walk from many attractions. The hosts spoke great English and were very kind. A great hotel!
- AllanJGJ (10/5): Charming little hotel - This is a brilliant little boutique hotel. My room was very well appointed and clean. The public areas and exterior of the hotel were charming and the breakfasts were excellent. Cute little swimming pool and within an easy walk of downtown and a couple of interesting tourist attractions. A little jewel. Recommended.
- 5fredw (10/5): Warm, local hospitality in a great location - The building is nice and well-maintained, with a perfect location, quiet yet walkable to everything, including Ephesus. I recommend the back road walk from the hotel to Ephesus, by the way, it is quite picturesque. Breakfast was nice, with variety each day and eggs to order. A whole host of cafes, services, and restaurants are nearby. If you are there on a Saturday, the local market is a must. The family that runs the hotel are warm, kind, and totally professional. They will go the extra mile to help their guests, too, as the owner did when he walked me right to a recommended barber shop after I asked for a recommendation. Our stay was a wonderful experience I hope to revisit in future.
- Kaliyuga (10/5): - Staff and amenities
- judejude (10/5): Great location and service - Great location , wonderful staff. It’s a charming hotel, not the trappings of 5 star but it ticks all the boxes. Close to all the sights, Only issue is off street parking and the streets are narrow. Walking distance to castle and St John’s cathedral
- surajs460 (6/5): This hotel is not recommended if you are looking for. "Standard Deluxe" room. - This was the tiniest room at a hotel that we have EVER stayed. The room was supposed to be "Standard Deluxe" for two people. We were crammed into a dingy tiny room with barely any space to even walk. No chairs to sit. No writing table. Altogether a terrible experience. The room was relatively clean, but with zero coziness. People were nice and friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fairly okay. This hotel is not recommended if you are looking for a "Standard Deluxe" room, and should be avoided if possible.
- Janine (10/5): - Wonderful in every way! Helpful, kind, friendly staff. Beautiful room and setting. Amazing, beautiful, nutritious, generous breakfast. Perfection!
- Donegal713 (10/5): Beautiful Place with Beautiful People - Stayed 3 nights. Had a beautiful time. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were very clean and comfortable and the breakfast each day was generous and delicious. They could not have done more for us. They were very understanding of our personal life and needs. Very open to all comers.
- Julian (10/5): Amazing and friendly hotel staff, hope to go back! - Lovely stay at Celsus! Our family really enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and caring. Breakfast was delicious and more than enough to start your day. They can also help you arrange an airport transfer and tours around the area. The room was also one of the best rooms we had during our time in Türkiye. Hope to go back one day!
- Juanita (10/5): - Situated in the town of Selcuk, this boutique hotel has a unique charm and beauty. The room carries an old scent, reflecting the age of the hotel, which adds to its character. The morning staff are wonderful—attentive and eager to meet our every need.
- Philip (10/5): - A great boutique hotel & well furnished. Excellent friendly staff. Breakfast was fantastic.
- theresan910 (10/5): Highly recommend - The service at this family run hotel is amazing. The breakfast is hearty, which allowed us to only pay for dinner in the evening. The staff speak English and are absolutely willing to teach you Turkish. The rooms are large and comfortable would recommend a stay here to anyone. It is within walking distance to St. John's Basilica, Ephesus museum, farmers market, and restaurants.
- Y6449QAmarkd (10/5): Peaceful oasis - This review is going to sound very like that from another couple who visited in May, but that must be because this hotel is consistently good! We booked to stay at Celsus Boutique Hotel for a week to be our base as we visited Ephesus and other places of interest in the region. The hotel was very close to the Basilica of St John and easy walking distance to all the places of interest in town. On arrival there was a friendly welcome, straightforward check-in and we were shown to our room in an adjoining building. We were very happy with our room - it was very clean, with lots of natural light when wanted and good curtains to keep it out when not. The decor is very tasteful and there was plenty of storage space, a fridge, kettle, safe and TV. The bathroom was attractive and well fitted out with good shower, lighting, hair-dryer and plenty of high-quality towels. The water took a little while to come hot but we were already warned about this, so it wasn't a problem. High-quality toiletries were provided. Breakfast was excellent. It was a buffet set out on a counter in the pretty courtyard garden. The selection each day was delicious and with lots of options including different breads, fruits, cereals, conserves, cheeses, olives, salads, and dips. The staff enquired each day how we would like our eggs cooked and tea or coffee were available. Our personal favourite drink for starting the day was the excellent pomegranate juice. Each day the food selection was slightly different and the staff were keen to impress on us that we could ask for additional things if we wanted, given we were staying for several days, but we didn't find this to be necessary. The location was very peaceful and relaxing, apart from the regular call to prayer from the nearby mosque but that is unavoidable in this area of Selcuk. The owners/managers were pleasant, and have created a beautifully appointed hotel. Particularly to be commended was member of staff Mehmet who was friendly and professional and helped us with our Turkish. Our week's stay seemed all too short and we were sorry to leave. We had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Selcuk.
- FloridaMarvin (10/5): Modern Boutique Charm - A pretty boutique hotel in excellent location with all the amenities. The staff was very friendly. We had hoped for a swim in the small pool but sadly, it was not heated. Plenty of good local restaurants nearby. Only stayed one night as we toured Ephesus the next morning.
- LondonSusan (8/5): RECOMMENDED FOR A RESTORATIVE SOJOURN - A charming, quiet hotel with kind, thoughtful staff. The room was both clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a buffet served in a garden room. Sadly, no meals other than breakfast is available but we were directed to a nearby restaurant with good food.
- Patty (10/5): - We were extremely happy with our stay, the minute we got There a young man parked our car and carried our luggage to our room. He was so kind and accommodating. Highly recommend this cute boutique.
- catherinepR8366GR (10/5): Comfortable pretty location - Excellent boutique hotel with attentive friendly staff, beautifully decorated very comfortable and very central for our sightseeing. We spent three nights here while visiting Ephesus and some of the other local sites. Excellent breakfast every morning and when we needed an earlier breakfast to accommodate some of our sightseeing, it was no problem.
- JasonC6944 (8/5): Nice quaint rustic boutique hotel - A surprising gem of a boutique hotel in a sleepy town. The bed was fantastic. Firm the way I like it. Clean and quiet, except when the daily islamic chants are broadcasted. Breakfast was simple but nice. The downside was that the toilet wc pressure was very weak in my room.
- Richard (10/5): - Hotel was in a good, convenient location, close to shops, restaurants and bus and train stations. Good breakfast options. Staff was very responsive to questions and requests for suggestions. There was some repeated noise issues with barking dogs. Also, the hotel is close to a mosque so you can hear the amplifed call to prayers. But fortunately, neither noise issue interrupted my sleep.
- David (10/5): - Beautiful small hotel. Great breakfast! Nice pool
- amsterdam05 (6/5): Nice but needs more professionalism - We stayed here 3 nights in September 2024 in a room with small balcony overlooking the small pool. The hotel has 19 rooms and is located in a quiet street, at walking distance from the centre. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping should be improved, trash cans were not emptied and despite our request we didn’t get new toiletpaper. Some of our laundry came back not 100% dry and a broken lightbulb was (after our request) replaced by a new one, giving less light than a candle flame. So reading in bed after sunset is not possible.
- Nikhil (8/5): - The only issue with this hotel is that there is no elevator; so if any mobility issues then may be a problem. It is on a very hilly slope and even to get to the reception area from the street involves several steps. But I w believe no buildings in Selcuk are allowed elevators due to archeological reasons . Otherwise excellent location, staff very helpful.
- James (8/5): - Charming room and hotel but pretty bright during the night. Bed was hard as usual. Great location, breakfast, AC and shower.
- Mehmet (10/5): - Location excellent - walked to St. John's Basilica. Very nice decor in rooms.
- andresjd (10/5): Amazing place to stay !!!! You won’t regret it - A.M.A.ZI.N.G…..!!!! What a place to stay after a long day driving or visiting Efesos. The ambience is so local and yet upscale. Our room was large and super comfortable. The shower was unique and relaxing. It was so cool to open the windows and see the neighbors homes and take a look and locals way of living. Keep in mind that you will park on the steep streets around the hotel. The staff will help you with luggage and take them to your room. I got second floor with narrow stairs. The staff were like family and acted like we were their “Guests”. Loved this place. You can walk to St. John’s basilica. It’s like less than 100 yards.

- Walter (10/5): - The hotel was located on a quiet little street just a few minutes walk to the town center. The room and the buildings, the pool, and little courtyards were very nicely detailed and very well maintained. The breakfasts were superb with lots of local produce and fresh pomegranate juice. We loved the friendly and very helpful staff: they arranged transfers from and to the airport at Izmir, booked a tour of Ephesus, and provided us with lots of information about the local area including a very good restaurant.

- Moises (10/5): - Our host was lovely. She was so attentive a caring. She organized our tours to Ephesus and to Pamukkale she was on top of things.

- Kyle (6/5): - Very much style over substance. The room and space looked wonderful, but the actual materials seemed cheap and unpleasant, the shower didn't work properly, and getting in/out of the room was a bit of a hassle with multiple doors each needing to be hand unlocked/locked.

- Verified traveler (6/5): - Nice boutique hotel, favorable location near restaurants and grocery shops, good breakfast selection, parking is on the street as opposed to in a private lot, room and amenities could benefit from more upkeep and maintenance. Reaching reception involves a steep flight of stairs, which could be inconvenient for people with limited mobility or heavy bags.
- Suraiya (10/5): - Beautiful property with a very helpful staff.
- Kim (8/5): - Lovely, large room, but cleaning, tidying of room was only minimal and cursory at best. Over-rated breakfast - could have had some variations as seeing n eating the same stuff for 3 days. Just a change of one or two stuff on the plate in front of you can make a big difference every morning and Why play such ridiculous program on tv every morning during breakfast which is if no interest for anyone and not reflective of the hotel’s ambiance. Staff could be be more welcoming and smiling as they all look so stern. Relax, smile and learn to say things like “hello”, “thank you for staying” to guests rather than keeping quiet and glum - this will create a better overall image for your hotel.
- ROBERT (10/5): - Very helpful staff. Great location. Breakfast was fabulous.
- Levent (10/5): - This was a very good choice.
- Myrna (10/5): - Is an excellent. beautiful and safe hotel. Their breakfast is excellent. All staff are very nice and helpful. They are aware of all the details and help you immediately. I will return. My friends was fascinated with the place.Best rate for them
