Absolutely wonderful hotel, a few minutes away from the ruins at Ephesus and Temple of Artemis. We had to leave before breakfast but the staff still got us tea and some breakfast cakes. They were super friendly and made a great reservation for us at a nearby restaurant. We will definitely go back.

An amazing place. Quiet but with plenty of life.
From the minute we went through the door our reaction was wow! It looks amazing and proved to be just that exactly. The staff were so kind and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast eggs were freshly cooked and the jasmine perfumed the air. A lovely experience and our best accommodation experience in Turkey. We stayed in 6 different hotels and this was our absolute favourite.

Walking through the gate into the property was like walking into a beautiful garden. The room was like a museum with family heirlooms framed on the walls between exquisite carpets. The ambiance and attention to detail cannot be overlooked. Such a treasure and pleasure from staff and owners. I felt like I was in a home away from home. ❤️

A little oasis behind a big wooden door - surrounded by ancient sites. After a hot day hiking and inspecting Roman and Byzantine sites, it was glorious to retreat to Akanthus. We loved this hotel and its pool, relaxing chairs overlooking the valley, and our room with a view. If we could snap our fingers, we’d be back.

An oasis
This hotel is a true oasis. Once inside you feel transported into a different world. The smell of jasmine, the beautiful pool, the lovely staff all make this a truly exceptional place to stay and relax. The manager, Soner, is possibly the most genuinely positive and friendly person I’ve ever met. If you are going to Selcuk then stay here.

If you are planning to visit the ruins at Ephesus, or the home of The Virgin Mary, you can’t go wrong with the Akanthus Hotel. We drove our rental car from Izmir, and easily found the hotel where we were warmly greeted by their wonderful staff. The room was first rate, and the proximity to the ruins makes visiting effortless. Breakfast was very nice, and the property has a cozy feel that made us want to stay longer and visit again in the future. We really enjoyed our time in Ephesus, and it was made even better by the staff and hotel at Akanthus.

We absolutely loved this hotel. Muharrem was the kindest host who took care of all our needs. He arranged airport transfers, made recommendations and reservations at two excellent restaurants both about 4-5 minute walks from the hotel and engaged the most knowledgeable guide for a whole day of touring the Ephesus historical site. The hotel is quiet and comforting with soft music playing in the background and complimentary cake and coffee/tea available all day. The room was spotless and the property lovingly displays rugs and artifacts. The breakfast is excellent with eggs cooked perfectly as you choose and fresh fruit, breads and jams and cheeses. Every staff member was professional, helpful and smiling. Watching the sunset from the pool deck with a cup of Turkish tea was totally relaxing after a day of touring. We were so sad that our schedule did not permit an extension of a couple more days.

I really, really enjoyed my stay at Akanthus Hotel. The owner and all members of the staff were extraordinarily friendly and helpful. They are very attentive to guests and offer information about restaurants and nearby activities. The grounds were small but very comfortable and beautiful. There is a great pool in the garden, surrounded by flowers and plants. An oasis. My room on the second floor was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. Breakfast was great. The hotel offers cake and tea/coffee throughout the day and evening, as well. This is a fine hotel near Ephesus. I highly recommend it.

They gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants and sight-seeing destinations, and were available 24 hours per day to address any additional needs we had.

What an extraordinary boutique hotel! I wished I could’ve stayed longer. The setting, on a hill overlooking the valley is perfect, and the short walk into the old town center is easy. You were surrounded by history, but the hotel itself, the pool, and rooms are modern and extremely comfortable. Close attention is paid to every design element and everything is just beautiful. Also, the staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend!!
