Bed was big and comfy. It was a cold night and they had put the heating on which was brilliant. We only stayed overnight literally for a bed. We didnt shower or have breakfast so can't comment on that.

Very close to St John’s Basillica (8min walk), 2 mins from Ali Baba’s restaurant- home cooked traditional food at a low price. 7 min walk to the train. Room was large and clean. Bathroom also large and clean. Breakfast included keeps you going till 3pm. Ali works hard to make your stay great.

Matthew

I had a problem with what they said they were offering and what I got. No toiletries, my room wasn’t cleaned each day, nobody did anything to it. But what I was most upset with is the breakfast. It was not a Buffett and they seemed to make it when they felt like it. Not at 8. Nobody stays at the property so you have to wait for them to show up to make it, first day it was around 8:15 that someone showed up to start cooking, second day I asked for breakfast at 8 for I had to get going. They said no problem, so at 8 the next morning the wife walks in to start. I had breakfast at 8:30. Which meant I was an hour behind my schedule, nice people but what they advertise and I paid for is not what I received.

It is a quaint location near restaurants, shops and most importantly historical attractions like Ephesus, the Ephesus Museum, etc. The owners and personnel were warm and friendly. The only thing we didn't see was a wardrobe in our room.

Ali Baba and his wife were very welcoming and hospitable. Ali Baba kindly drove us to Ephesus free of charge. The breakfast spread was great and I would highly recommend eating at his restaurant which was delicious home cooked food for very good prices. The house was clean and comfortable and in a nice quiet area. We wish we had stayed another night.

I highly recommend staying at Ali babas. Him and his wife are very sweet host. Their place was clean the a/c worked, bed was comfy and the shower had hot water, that’s all I needed. Their restaurant is a 5 min walk from the residence and the Kababs were delicious, if you haven’t been to the restaurant as yet then you need to go!

Good location, walkable from train station, close to museum and castle. Proprietor was kind and took me to the Ephesus archeological site just before it opened at 8 in the morning. Room was very basic and it seemed the price was a bit high even after discounts - but it is Selcuk/Ephesus. Breakfast included, but doesn't start until 8 so I missed it during both days of visit.

Two thumbs Way up!

Ali was excellent! Such a welcoming, kind man and offered superb hospitality. His place was immaculately clean, had excellent wifi and a lovely breakfast included as well. We ate dinner at his restaurant just around the corner and Ali made for us a fantastic, vegetarian dinner and again, offered wonderful service. He even taught us about Turkish carpets and how to know quality from knock-offs. Two thumbs Way up!
