“Great boutique hotel - Good Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Excellent, clean, tastefully decorated hotel. We stayed in the standard room during Dec 2011. The hotel staff were very attentive. The breakfast (included) was one of the best we had in Turkey, and it was on the roof top (great views of city).

Location was good, right in centre of town, minutes walk from the bus and train station.

Nearby eat at Wallabies hotel, they have excellent dishes that aren't served at other places in Turkey. Drink, smoke (shisha) and play backgammon at Dennis Cafe (or bar?) which is a few houses/stores down from the hotel.

You can easily go to Ephesus yourself with a 3 Lira minibus from the bus station. Much better than the 40 euro tours (however you need to find a guide if you so desire).

“Adorable, simple, great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

Stayed here in September with my husband in a room on the second floor. The staff of this place were AMAZING! Helpful, friendly and just lovely. The rooms were simple, clean and basic- nothing fancy - but you are only paying around 50 euros a night, so it actually exceeded my expectations. The shower didn't have the best pressure and you must take short showers if there are too of you. The breakfast on the rooftop was yummy. They orgnaized a pick up at Izmir airport, which I recommend! They also organized a cab service to Ephesus and Virgin Mary's House, which was very helpful. Everyone in Selchuk is lovely and it was a great stop on our Turkey journey!

“Lovely hotel but needs improvements on some areas”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed in Urkmez Hotel for 3 nights in January 2012.

What I definitely like about this hotel is that it is very lovely decorated with a homey atmosphere (see the photos I attached)! The staff are very friendly and helpful. Free wifi and delicious breakfast are plus! The twim room (room 201) I stayed is small, but it has a relatively big balcony. Imagine how relaxing it is to enjoy some drinks there in a summer or autumn evening! The location is excellent too. It is very close to the Roman aqueducts, town centre, train station, restaurants and post office!

But there are a few areas which can be better. First of all I found that the two power sockets in my room were loosen which you can see the wires inside! It could be a potential danger! Secondly, the shower, though hot enough, was very very weak. I am not sure if this is the problem of my room or the entire hotel. Lastly, they didn't not make the room nor collect the rubbish during my 3 nights stay. I just stayed for a short period and I kept my room tidy, so I didn't bother to ask. But I think they'd be happy to do it if I asked.

“A great family run Boutique Hotel in the center of town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

This great family run Boutique Hotel is in the center of Selcuk within a short drive to the fabulous ruins of Emphases. The owners were extremely nice and accommodating. I would highly recommend this lovely hotel to anyone visiting the area.
