We loved the tranquil setting with a beautiful garden (including tortoise) and swimming pool. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and included local dishes. The best part was the friendly informative staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief visit and would have liked to have stayed longer.

Ortalama

Odamız yol tarafında ve en üst katta olduğu için klimasız durulmuyordu. Gece bile klima çalıştırmak zorunda kaldık. Ayrıca yoldan geçen araçların sesi, bizim gibi sessizlik arayanlar için moral bozucu. Hayvan dostu olması çok güzel fakat çimlerde köpek kakası görmek hoş değildi. Çevre temizliği konusunda daha titiz olunabilirdi. Bunun dışında hizmet iyiydi ve otel sahibi Mehmet Bey oldukça ilgili ve güler yüzlü bir insan.

Well done Kalehan.

Kalehan's owner & staff are the most amazing people in the hospitality world, in our experience. We would strongly recommend visitors to Ephesus stay with them for a total stay experience to match the ancient city visit.

Hotel Kalehan exceeded my expectations! This charming hotel is the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. A beautiful cascade of purple bouganveilla framed the window of my room! And it overlooked a tree-shaded courtyard perfect for reading or a cocktail and conversation. The staff--from reception, bellhop, chef and hotel owner--offered exceptional service. Delicious dinner and breakfast. My room was charmingly decorated and the bed was super comfy. Don't miss this wonderful hotel!

Maravilhoso!

Se eu soubesse que este Hotel era puro charme, teria dado um jeito de ficar pelo menos mais um dia. Ele é super fofo, tem uma decoração aconchegante, o serviço é ótimo, o quarto é de um tamanho bom e os jardins são maravilhosos! A comida é nota 10! As músicas tocadas na hora das refeições são perfeitas, dando uma sensação de paz.. Super recomendo!

Peaceful oasis in city

Lovely hotel, with good room for three people, very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are in a separate courtyard from the main hotel. with a wonderful garden and beautiful pool .Some of the information in description was inaccurate - one bedroom instead two, and no free water but not a major problem . Food was very good though, both for breakfast and dinner .

Bahçedeki Selçuk binasında kaldık. Efes,Şirince,Magnesia gezmek için çok ideal konumda. Otel sahibi hanımefendi çok kibar ve ilgili, çok iyi tavsiyeler de verdi gezilecek yerler için.Abidin bey çok güzel, doyurucu kahvaltılar ve yemekler hazırladı ve ilgilendi. Otelin dekorasyonu (izmir’in eski rum evlerinden derlenmiş) ve mimari yapısı çok otantik bahçesi huzur dolu, havuzu kullanılıyor, kocaman bir kaplumbağ ailesi var bahçede, Selçuk’daki en yeşil otel. Oda her gün temizlendi. Sessiz huzur dolu temiz ve ilgili bir otel. Merkeze, müze ve kliseye yürüme mesafesinde. Selçuk binasındaki odalarda kalmanızı öneririm.
