Selena Hotel

Disappointing

  : Well this place is not that it was bad, it is that we thought it would be something else. To begin with, the owner of the hotel does not speak much English although he always greeted us with a smile. The cleanliness in the bathroom left a lot to be desired and the little toilet paper made us a bit desperate. There is no telephone in the room so if you have any questions you have to go down to the reception. Breakfast was always boiled egg and we had to buy coffee because we never saw there. They helped us find a laboratory to test us for COVID but we felt that we paid mora money than than was supposed as well as the taxi they got us to see the attractions of the city.

  : Excellent location and staff members attention , they were very kindly and warm people, they helped us a lot with information, tips and suggestions over Selcuk and Ephesus. The hotel is near bus terminal and St. Jhon catedral.
  : Our room had a very strong and bad smell in the bathroom.

  : Hmmmm... nothing
  : There isn't much good to say about this basically run down place. From the moment we arrived everything was bad. There was no water in the room and the manager rudely told us to go buy some ! Probably the only hotel I have ever seen that didn't offer water. Then we moved the bed over a bit and it was a pile of dust and dirt which took us about 20 mins to clean since there is no real cleaning service here it's just 1 old guy running it at night. The light didn't work so we only had the bathroom light which made a sound from the vent which is needed since it has no window. Also the bed sheets felt so old they itched from being so old and tough. The breakfast was stale bread, no coffee, nothing fresh, no fruit, just packaged jam, very old cheeses and some supposedly home baked cookies with no flavor. The location was ok but the whole city is small so its all close. The room also always smelled like smoke since they smoke right outside and it enters the hallway and through the windows. I wouldn't recommend in any way, especially considering how great most places usually are in Turkey but this one lacks heart and maintenance.

  : Centrally located as mentioned. Easy access to many areas.
  : We expected complimentary bottled drinking water along with tea/coffee as its provided in hotels of the equivalent range. Everytime you need to enter the hotel, a person from inside needs to open it for you. Although it didn't take much time for us, it could be bothersome.

  : This family-run small hotel is in a great location for the centre of Selcuk, and very close to the Basilica of St John. The owners were very helpful in chasing up a taxi that we asked to arrive at 11.00am, and which finally arrived around 11.30am.
  : Unfortunately, the person on reception spoke hardly any English, though we had no real problems. But the whole hotel was a huge disappointment. The rooms, I think, were furnished in the 1970s and lack any kind of charm. I awoke in the middle of our first night and said out loud 'Oh, I hate this room!' My husband, who was also awake at the time, agreed. Cleaning lacked attention to detail: scuff marks on the walls, hair in the sink drain, and tired or broken items: the shower doors had been removed, for instance, and a light bulb was missing in the corridor at our end of the corridor, making access in the dark tricky. The price struck me as expensive, but we moved from our original choice at short notice, when we discovered we would have been on the second floor, with no lift (my husband, at 72, finds stairs difficult these days). The Selena had the (only) advantage of ground floor rooms. But our 'deluxe' room certainly was not. We won't be going back to the Selena. Sorry.

  : Stunning location(St John's Basilica and castle) and central to bus Station and restaurants.
  : Very unwelcoming reception from young man on front desk (not so much about not speaking English but no info given, no greeting given or any smile).Rooms were very bland and out dated, also without linen upon arrival There was no welcome drink or mini bar as indicated. Also, very unusual not have any tea/coffee making facilities in the room.Breakfast was poor and very limited.It was noisy within the hotel at night.
