The two owners, Nazmi and Erdal, are gracious, generous and experienced hoteliers and made our stay at Hotel Nilya and Selçuk/Ephesus a wonderful experience. We appreciated the advice and assistance they gave us, the breakfast and the extensive collection of Ottoman art a decor throughout.

Nice character property, on a quiet street. Very close to St John's Basilica and the Castle. 10 mins walk from the train or bus. Friendly place, nice breakfast, in a shady courtyard garden. . Really helpful to get a lift to Ephesus top entrance after breakfast. Only a white curtain at the window meant it was very light for sleeping unfortunately.

Good choice

We had a great stay, the hotel is well located and clean. It is close to Ephesus. We had our own car, but the manager offered us free transportation to Ephesus. We parked easily on the street. To improve the experience, I suggest breakfast service starts before 8am. Our main goal was to reach Ephesus at opening time (8am) to escape the crowds.

Nilya hotel is a cute little family run hotel. The breakfast is amazing, the rooms are small but pretty and clean. The location is great, walking distance to interesting sights and delicious eats. What makes this hotel special is the excellent hospitality of its owners. They went above and beyond to help our party sort out different things: they haves us free shuttle rides to and from Ephesus, they helped us contact a great and knowledgable guide, they got us a taxi to go to virgins Mary house. They lent us their backgammon and showed me and my sister Joe to play. They constantly offered us tea and coffee. I left my kid le behind and they texted me and offered me to send it on DHL at no extra cost. They are really experienced and helpful hosts. I would come back again!

LOVED the authentic Turkish furnishings and artwork. The courtyard is lovely, the room was very comfortable. It was a welcome immersion into the culture. No TV was fine. I would like to have been able to make coffee or tea on our own in the room itself... But - it would have been available if we'd requested. VERY nice breakfast. Helpful recommendations about Efes, And walking distance from the ruins of St. John Basilica, which was amazing!

The owner was one of the best hosts we’ve had on our trip. He was helpful, knowledgeable about the area and even dropped us off and picked us up at Ephesus! The hotel and garden are quaint! Additionally, his rug gallery is worth the time to see!

Comfortable hotel with a great location

Perfect location; a 2-minute walk from St. John Basilica and a few minutes drive from the ancient city of Ephesus. It’s quite conveniently located in the middle of the city. Pamuçak beach is a 15-20 minute drive away. The hotel is well kept, clean, and beds are comfortable. The staff are pleasant and helpful. Three parking spots are available outside though if you have some idiot American park his car in a way that takes up two spots, it reduces the parking space available. Breakfast is pretty decent; tasty, but somewhat limited (perhaps understandable given the economic situation in Türkiye). But for comfort, location and service, this is a wonderful hotel. We had a very good stay.

Our stay at Nilya hotel was lovely. Nazmi and his team are super friendly. They even drove us to and picked us up from Ephesus, which was much appreciated. The location was excellent – it's only a few minutes walk to the main shopping area, and there's some great restaurants nearby. Highly recommend Sofas for dinner and Stairs coffee for the morning/afternoon coffee. It's also about three minutes to St John's Basilica. The included breakfast was delicious, especially the eggs! The only nitpicks would be the curtains don't do the best job of blocking out the outside hotel lights and the WiFi wasn't the best.
