Very close to St John’s Basillica (8min walk), 2 mins from Ali Baba’s restaurant- home cooked traditional food at a low price. 7 min walk to the train. Room was large and clean. Bathroom also large and clean. Breakfast included keeps you going till 3pm. Ali works hard to make your stay great.

Ali Baba and his wife were very welcoming and hospitable. Ali Baba kindly drove us to Ephesus free of charge. The breakfast spread was great and I would highly recommend eating at his restaurant which was delicious home cooked food for very good prices. The house was clean and comfortable and in a nice quiet area. We wish we had stayed another night.

We checked in at this hotel, and no one spoke English. Despite that, the check-in went smoothly, and our room and beds were clean and comfortable. We arrived at night and were looking for food; the website mentioned an “onsite” restaurant, which is actually a short walk down the street. The owner’s wife kindly guided us there—it’s her husband’s restaurant. Prices were reasonable for a tourist area, not like a small-town restaurant. The family seems to run both the hotel and the restaurant. On checkout morning, we were served a freshly cooked breakfast, which made our stay even more comfortable.

Ali Baba/s House

It is a quaint location near restaurants, shops and most importantly historical attractions like Ephesus, the Ephesus Museum, etc. The owners and personnel were warm and friendly. The only thing we didn't see was a wardrobe in our room.

I am happy to come back here every year, to this wonderful family of Ali and Elmas! I am happy to come back to this cozy, kind, clean house, where you are always welcomed with joy, understanding and love! The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay, there is breakfast, there is always coffee and tea! This house is located close to all the attractions! Everything is accessible, and shops, and a bazaar and sweets, everything is 10 minutes from the house. It is quiet, calm, cozy here. I recommend this place to everyone who wants to enjoy Turkish culture and color!

4/10 Poor

I had a problem with what they said they were offering and what I got. No toiletries, my room wasn’t cleaned each day, nobody did anything to it. But what I was most upset with is the breakfast. It was not a Buffett and they seemed to make it when they felt like it. Not at 8. Nobody stays at the property so you have to wait for them to show up to make it, first day it was around 8:15 that someone showed up to start cooking, second day I asked for breakfast at 8 for I had to get going. They said no problem, so at 8 the next morning the wife walks in to start. I had breakfast at 8:30. Which meant I was an hour behind my schedule, nice people but what they advertise and I paid for is not what I received.

Lovely stay

Ali Baba was a wonderful host. The staff were waiting for us and when we arrived and had our room ready. The room was simple and clean. This is an old building with lots of character, not a brand new, shiny hotel. Breakfast was wonderful - a traditional Turkish breakfast, served by Ali Baba and his wife. There is parking and it is in walking distance to all the attractions within Selcuk’s city limits and within a couple hours driving time to other major attractions.
