Hotel Ephesus

Here is an honest complete review for everyone, i went on August 2025

The air conditioning was great, the rooms were clean and did get clean on daily

Not sure if the sheets were getting changed but it looked clean to me, but they do change the towels daily if u drop them on the floor,

The restaurant is as shown in pics and the view is actually real, looks nice, but i didn't use the tables outside cuz it was usually too hot or windy and sometimes birds flying around. But at night it was magnificent 👌

The city is a bit loud on that street though, i was on 7th floor but i would still wake up from the noisey drivers and horns, meaning the windows are not sound proof or do much even on 7th floor, but still i assume that is almost for every hotel that is in an important point of the city.

The register guy can speak beginner level english, which is helpful enough, but it would be nicer if they could speak a bit more professionally, they didnt understand some questions of mine which were a bit harder than beginner or outside memorised conversions.

The spa fee were a bit high, i thought it would come with the room considering its high price compared to the other hotels within 300m radius,

The breakfast is complete but somehow it was missing something, i dont know what but it felt a bit repetitive during my 10 days, but it was nonetheless very complete and worth it, the staff are quick to clean and resupply everything.

The shower and bathroom are very clean and great to use.

The rooms miss a desk or table that would be useful for using laptop, i needed such a thing but it was unavailable which is a downside, but negligible to many.

Overall i would say 8/10 or 9/10 because of a bit high price for 1 person, but 2 people it is a fair price really, and it would be great to make the windows double layered for some noise insulation

Amazing stay! The service was outstanding, and my room was spotless. I loved the delicious food, especially at the rooftop restaurant with its stunning views. Highly recommend!

Great location for the tourist attractions. there is a bus stop, tram stop, metro and the famous line Marmaray near the hotel so you can make easier your way to the tour stops.
The rooms don’t have Wi-Fi so that’s why I give 4 stars, because I think it’s important when most of the tourist need it.
The breakfast is good with a rooftop terrace.

All the services is adorable i like the breakfast cuz it so delicious also special thanks for Seyit he’s really perfect employee

Best hotel ever
The staff so good and very friendly with guests

It’s was such a nice place the most beautiful place is the restaurant the atmosphere there is amazing and relaxing all the staff was helpful and smiling.

Location, service and rooms are great. Went to hotel for a family trip, and we had everything we needed. Rooms have everything tou need for a short or a long stay (kettle, hair dryer, coffee, tea...). The view from a top floor restaurant is amazing. The tram and bus stations are next to the hotel so you can get connected to different town spots easily. Special thanks to director of the hotel and a guy called Sayid for helping our group during the transfer to the airport and at the check in in the absence of our tourist guides. Definitely would come back again!
