Artemis Selçuk Suites is a small property in the heart of Selçuk, on a side street in the Atatürk neighbourhood, a short stroll from almost everything in town. The Isa Bey Mosque is about two minutes on foot, the Ephesus Archaeological Museum about three, the Basilica of St John about five and the Temple of Artemis about twelve, and Selçuk station is nine minutes away. Rooms are a double room for two and a family room for three, with a private bathroom, a rainfall showerhead, bathrobes, free bottled water, heating, a fan and a separate sitting area. A free full breakfast is served daily in the morning, there is free Wi-Fi, and guests can use a garden and terrace. Pets stay free. Guests rate the property highly, with a 9.6 out of 10 across a modest number of reviews, and perfect scores for cleanliness and location. It is an intimate, simple and well-placed base for anyone who wants to walk to the sights.
Location and getting around
The guesthouse is about three kilometres from the ruins of Ephesus, which is a short taxi ride, and the whole historic centre is within a few minutes on foot. That makes the property useful for visitors who prefer to leave the car behind. Selçuk station is close, and the airport is a drive of roughly fifty minutes. The location suits early starts, since you can be at the ruins by taxi when the gates open, and evenings in town, since restaurants and cafes are around the corner.
There is no on-site parking, so if you rent a car, ask the property where to leave it.Rooms and facilities: with only a few rooms, the atmosphere is that of a guesthouse rather than a hotel, and the front desk has limited hours, from eight in the morning until ten at night, so tell the property in advance if you will arrive after five. There are no lifts, and the upper floors are reached by stairs, which is worth knowing if you have heavy luggage or limited mobility, though there is a step-free path to the entrance.
Rooms are air-conditioned or fan-cooled depending on the season, and the property provides luggage storage and guidebooks. Check-in is from two to ten in the afternoon, and check-out is before half past twelve. A government photo ID and a deposit may be asked for at check-in.Good to know: payment arrangements are unclear in the property details, with one note saying cash only and another saying cashless transactions are available, so confirm how to pay before you arrive.
Guests must be at least eighteen to check in. The property suits couples and small families who value a friendly, quiet base and a free breakfast over facilities such as a pool or a bar. If you want a pool, look at the larger hotels in Selçuk, and if you want beaches, choose Kuşadası. For a stay that is mostly about the ruins, the museum and the old town, it is a very comfortable choice.
