Hotel Bella

Be aware that there is no desk, no chair or luggage rack in the room. You have to put the luggage on the ground then no space to walk around. Room and hall way is very dark. The bathroom is also small, no hair dryer, the shower head spread water wide that you can't get any water to your body. Drain plugged with standing water in the shower chamber at all time. No rack to hang towel or clothes in the bathroom (also very dark).

Nazmir the hotel owner was absolutely phenomenal -- our very first day there he helped us revamp our trip and helped us get a little off the super touristy map. Him and his staff are kind, authentic and incredibly genuine people and we would stay there again JUST for that reason (though there are other reasons we would stay there again too!)

I was very impressed with the service and friendlies of the owner and the staff. The hotel is beautifully decorated with Turkish folk art.

We so enjoyed our stay in Hotel Bella and probably should have stayed a few more days. We only went to Selçuk because it is close to Ephesus which is an amazing ancient site: don't miss the Terrace houses. But Selçuk also has much interesting ancient stuff as well as a lovely, friendly modern town with a fab museum. And the storks! When we were there, June, there were nests with up to 5 chicks. But back to Hotel Bella - enchanting decor, great breakfast and the friendliest most helpful staff. The boss is the star of the show- a super friendly, quick-witted, gregarious bloke. He was so flexible about transport. And there's a great shop as well as an Aladdin's cave of a carpet shop underneath. Our room was not spacious, though more than adequate, and the wifi was slow but these things are not important when there is, otherwise, so much charm.
