The hotel is designed and run by the owners , a most beautiful welcoming stay. It feels like a home with coffee tea and cakes available throughout the day, sitting by the poolside enjoying a cup of tea was delightful. The room is tastefully furnished with all amenities to meet daily needs. Breakfast has a good spread of fresh olives , tomatoes , greens , cold cuts , breads and pastries and eggs cooked to order. Location is very good , near the museum and restaurants . Will stay again in Akanthus hotel if I return to Ephesus .

The most beautiful boutique hotel

Absolutely lovely boutique hotel, designed and run with exquisite attention to detail. Beautiful outdoor courtyard with spa-like vibe and decor celebrating the local culture including ancient artifacts procured from the site during construction. The hotel manager and architect were present and incredibly hospitable and helpful with local suggestions during our stay. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Only complaint I can think of is the coffee was weak. An espresso machine would be a nice addition.

What a sweet little place - it was pouring rain when we arrived but the staff was helpful and cheerful - grabbing our wet bags out of the car and showing us where to park in the rain. They made us feel so welcome without hovering - I can highly recommend this place.

My only complaint is that I felt a bit rushed to end my breakfast and to checkout. Let me fair, from the looks of things , I was the last guest at the place from day before. I can’t say that for sure but the place looked pretty empty with the exception of the staff and alot of the vehicles and people seen during of breakfast were no longer around. Breakfast

We had an excellent stay at this charming boutique hotel in Selcuk and we are glad we chose this hotel to base our visit to Ephesus and Pammukale. A wonderful breakfast buffet fueled our start every morning, and the complimentary coffee and cake was the perfect welcome back from our tours!! The staff were so nice and friendly and made excellent dining recommendations that we enjoyed very much. Absolutely recommend this hotel to any discerning traveler who is looking for a top notch experience.
