Most gracious and hospitable hosts I have come across throughout our trip in Turkey! Our journey to Selcuk was very long and our host kindly gave us an early check in which we really appreciate! The rooms are tastefully decorated, the breakfast sumptuous, and the hotel itself is like a quiet piece of paradise furnished with care and love. Special thanks to the two gentlemen hosts, the kitchen ladies and Alp for their warmth and generosity in making our trip so memorable!

Our stay at Akanthus was marvellous from the beginning to the end. We felt very much at home. The two owners were very friendly and helpful. Their suggestions on restaurants and sightseeing really gave an extra authentic experience to our visit. The hotel itself was exceptionally designed and very well thought out. Our room was the best in the whole hotel. If you are planning on going to Selçuk you MUST stay there, if not you are missing out on a wonderful hotel.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at this small, family run boutique hotel. The room was beautiful with comfortable bedding (mattresses were just right - not too hard, not too soft). There was plenty of storage space in the wardrobe. The breakfast —- with eggs made to order - was particularly good. We also enjoyed a nice afternoon at the pool. The staff were very helpful with restaurant recommendations and arranging a taxi to the nearby Ephesus archeological park. We are very happy with our decision to stay at the Akanthus.

A lovely hotel in a quiet location with some lovely views from the front rooms over looking the old town and temple of Artemis. Parking is on the street nearby but these are very quiet and there are plenty of spaces. The hotel its self can be difficult to find as tucked away down a side street.
