St.Johns hill boutique Ephesus

This hotel and the kind people who own and run it made our experience in Selçuk and we were so lucky to have run into them. We booked the family suite for its separate living space and kitchen, and were blown away when the owner generously offered the entire top floor suite for our family instead because he knew we would be bringing our small baby. We would spend our evenings on the very spacious open patio that looks out into the ruins and the castle, having a nice takeout dinner and just enjoying being there. We were also introduced to the hotel owner’s brother and cousins, who ran the hotel and a few shops in town together, and ended up getting a few souvenirs from there and sipping tea with them and chatting outside of their shops. They were so kind to our baby and we left Selçuk feeling like we had made a meaningful connection with the town and the people who live in it. The accommodation itself was in this very old building full of charms and beautifully restored and most importantly very clean! I will recommend this wonderful family-owned boutique hotel to anyone we know :)

This was a beautiful hotel with a living area, washing machine and terrace. Very clean and comfortable. The owner, Enis, was kind and gave us excellent recommendations for meals! The kitchen was equipped for basic needs which off set the lack of breakfast here. Showers were great though the doors to the bathrooms were glass and offered limited privacy. The rooms were decorated with care and gave the Turkish vibe with perfection. We enjoyed the location which had views of an ancient aqueduct and the cranes ( birds) with nests and babies on top! The owner arranged for us to participate in a tour of Ephesus which was excellent. We were sorry to leave, but onward we had to go. Definitely worth every lira and 5 stars doesn’t express our enjoyment enough! Thank you Enis for a great stay.

The owner met us to check us in at 9pm. The property is really cozy. We had two large bedrooms and two full bathrooms for our stay with access to a large balcony with kitchen facilities and great views of the castle and the cathedral ruins. We had a very comfortable stay and even booked an extra night!

What a beautiful and special guesthouse. The amenities were great - there was a kitchen and a washing machine, I wish I was staying longer to use it! Enis was great and his shop is full of many beautiful things just downstairs. Each room has a unique design and Ayşe is also a joyful presence. It’s a great location and I would highly recommend staying here if you’re coming to explore Ephesus!
