It was like something out of a Mediterranean Romantic Comedy. Set up in the moutains above Selcuk, we accidentally stayed here knowing nothing about Sirince and only looking for a hotel near Ephesus. From the minute we arrived people were amazingly helpful and friendly. The food at breakfast was delicious and all-you-could-eat as we sat in the tower room overlooking Sirince Valley. The atmosphere of Sirince is so easy going and light. At dinner they had live music and the landlady herself even sang beautifully. We enjoyed it so much that we elected to extend our stay here 2 more days and use Sirince as our base for exploring all of the West of Turkey (Ephesus, Kusadasi, Pamukkale) with no regrets. Be aware that Kirkinca is a set of multiple houses in Sirince Village, and some rooms are fancier than others. Upon arrival they showed us multiple rooms in different buildings and let us choose the one we wanted - Loved It! In the basement of our building (Cotton House #1) they even have a turkish bath / sauna / jacuzzi you can use if you give them a few hours notice to warm it up. Overall I liked this place so much I would give it a 10 out of 10 and I am seriously considering sending my parents there for a vacation. It is beautiful, peaceful, quaint....just plain lovely and a great place to relax at the end of a day of adventures. Cars can only enter the village so far and then its foot, scooter or donkey cart. At night its quiet, and you can see the stars.
Hands down the nicest place I stayed in Turkey. We even had a turkish style shower in our room!

Ok, we had the best room of the hotel, with a great view of Siringe... And it was really a good room! Big, warm, beatiful, huge bathroom, comfortable bed, lots of hot water... But you may have in mind that the hotel is composed by 3 buildings, and our room was 2 or 3 blocks away from the main part of the hotel... This is not good when it is cold and raining... You have also to have in mind that to arrive at the hotel you have to walk 4, 5 or 6 blocks (don't remember...) with your luggage, hill up... Not good at all (remember the cold and rain...) In the middle of the night we were waked up with people talking really loud inside the hotel, and we were the only costumers there... Point number one: there is no acustic isolation... AND my husband is sure that it was the hotel staff who did all that noise... :( In the morming, we had ordered our coffee to be served at 8 o'clock, cause we had a tour departing at 8:45am, and our room was so far from the main building and the road... Well, we arrived at the restaurant at 8:00am... It was completely closed... We opened it and waited... At 8:20 am I started to open the cabinets, searching for bread and milk to make our own breakfast... That was when somebody finally appeared to prepare the breakfast. The food was ok, but when a second woman appeared , she started talking with the first one and the service slowed... A third one appeared and this just stood there, watching us with a strange face, some times making comments with her friends. Not confortable situation at all... Siringe worths a stay, but maybe there are better options ! Of course nobody was there to carry our luggage out...

Based on recommendations, we decided to make Sirince our home when in the Ephesus area. The town was supposed to be picturesque and the Kirkinca Hotel (actually three different houses spread around the town) to be a charming boutique place. But Sirince is incredibly commercial and touristy--kind of like the Grand Bazaar but here everybody is hawking sweet wine. Maybe if I'd never lived in a village before I would have found it quaint, but this place really turned me off.

We switched rooms after the first night, hoping to improve things, but no luck. Each room had it's own problems. Maybe that's supposed to happen in old houses, but some of the problems weren't to do with age, they were just bad management. For example, not changing a light bulb in the bathroom (the only bulb) in spite of several requests, no place to hang clothes in one of the rooms (they had wardrobes back in the day and in other rooms), no place to put toiletry items in the other room's bath (no shelf at all). Everything was kind of dusty. And in our first room, where they had splurged on a whirlpool tub, the shower head was useless--spraying everywhere except in front where the bather stands! These things could be taken care of if management cared.

They did have wifi, but it only worked when I was sitting in their office.

we had been told by our wonderful travel agent that we were getting a beautiful suite with 2 beds, justifying the 150 Euros charge for 1 night - instead we got 1 room with 1 large bed and a small fold-up bed in the corner - not a suite by any stretch of the imagination! we thought perhaps there had been a mistake in providing us what we'd paid for, but the hotel confirmed to our agent that they considered they had given us a suite and made no offer to reduce the very high charge

we realize that sirince has high prices since it's a bit isolated but the charm of the mountain village doesn't come close to making up for what we paid - other pensions and hotels in turkey will give you much more for your dollar/pound/euro!
