Hotel room not in good condition
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).

the hotel is in a good location despite the hill to get there, a short walk down the hill to the little town with good restaurants. the owner Nazmir(sp?) was very frienfly and helpful, but assistant not always responding in a welcoming way. the room is quite small and basic.the internet did not work well at anytime and that was frustrating as I needed to keep up with my work. I had a nice chat with Nazir about both isdues and was assured they would improve. for a few days stay to visit Ephesus and a day trip to Pamukkale I would recommend this hotel. They offer a free shuttle to and from Ephesus archaeological site.

We had a really bad experience with this hotel. Starting our journey from the Selcuk train station, we had to climb up the hill to get to the hotel with our heavy luggage. Not recommended to old or disable people. The staff & hotel manager were not friendly & helpful, the toiletries were not replenished, the room air conditioner was in poor condition, the breakfast was not satisfying. We were told that the mineral water was for free by the staff. however, during our checkout, we were charged with the items. we were soo disappointed with the service. This hotel does not even deserve to get a single star from us. We will never go to this hotel ever again.

AMAZING guest experience
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!)

A very nice, little hotel in the old town of Secuk. It has a unique atmosphere with extraordinary Turkish style furniture and artifacts. The people are very friendly, ready to help with anything you may need to make your stay very pleasant. The breakfast is freshly cooked and served on the top terrace with a beautiful view over the castle We stayed only one night but we hope to return.

The hotel was Charming, filled with beautiful artworks, carpets, wall pieces. The hosts are knowledgeable, speak very good English and very helpful. The rooms were quaint and old fashioned with wood detail and traditional wall pieces. The terrace was magnificent as it provided a comfortable space that was light and breezy for relaxing, sipping hot tea, reading, napping or simply sitting and looking out to the view. The hosts were exceedingly friendly, supportive, and genuine. A family run business, it had that personal touch and intimacy. Something that is different from large hotels...At Bella if your not feeling well they will make you Sage tea and check up on you! Really lovely experience having lovely big breakfasts on the terrace. If you are looking for somewhere intimate, unique and with lots of character this is the place for you. It is also a no smoking hotel. I really appreciated this. You May want to spend a bit more money for a larger room, as with any small hotels the rooms can be small. However the terrace made up for it. Overall a wonderful experience.

Don't miss this gem
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.

Beautiful Hotel Bella
Hôtel Bella is a beautiful little very clean hotel with traditional decor and a very fresh healthy breakfast including eggs cooked to order. It is in an historic location with ancient Ephesus only 6 kms away. I was driven there. It is close to Selçuk train and bus stations and there are many restaurants and shops on the way. Nazri (?) recommended a great place for dinner. Excellent value.

Loved the traditional Turkish décor! Loved the breakfast on the beautiful rooftop terrace overlooking the nesting storks and nearby ruins! Really appreciated that transportation to the site of Ephesus and the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, and the use of a guidebook, was included. The hotel is across the street from the entrance to the ruins of St. John's church and the castle. Wifi was slow and spotty at times. The owners have beautiful Turkish tiles and carpets for sale, but do not pressure you to buy.

Great location!
Bella Hotel is well situated for the historic sites, some of which are within a few minutes walking distance. Epheses is a good drivable distance, however, but this is unavoidable. Nearby restaurants were great and lively. The hotel staff were helpful in welcoming us and provided tips to make the most of our short stay. The free breakfast was freshly prepared and excellent.The free Wi-Fi was a little slow but served its purpose for us. With the rental car in possession, the free parking on the quiet side street across from the hotel was most helpful.

What a fabulous hotel. Owner could not have been more friendly and helpful. He will take you free of charge to and from Ephesus and even lend you a guide book. The decoration was gorgeous, so traditional, especially the roof top lounge/ dining area. Beautiful Turkish lanterns, tiles, rugs and ceramics everywhere. He has a shop adjoining the hotel if you want to buy similar items. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable and the wifi good. Took breakfast on the roof terrace which has great views overlooking St John's Basilica and more excitingly the nest occupied by two beautiful storks. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful and the service attentive. Owner recommended places to eat nearby as sadly his restaurant was closed this summer. Easy 5min walk into town. Will definitely visit again.

This hotel is perfectly located next to the ancient ruins, central shopping and eating precinct. Set on a hill the rooftop terrace area has spectacular views over the ruins, town and surrounding countryside. The owners are very helpful, speak English and provide a free drop off and pickup at Ephesus which was just brilliant. They also provide great tips for other places to visit. Remember you are staying in a 3 star hotel but we have no complaints, loved the place and added a day to our stay because we enjoyed Selçuk so much. Oh they also have very high quality tiles, jewelery and rugs if you are that way inclined.

Wonderful, wonderful place to stay in almost every way. Only thing maybe bad for some people, the almost next door neighbor collect some goat/sheep waste for some use.

handy overnight stopping place.
This small hotel just back from the road and a few minutes from the sea is a good place to stay for a night or two. It is well run and and does a fantastic breakfast.The owner is a gentleman and helpful. The rose garden is spotless and rooms come with all you need for comfortable stay. I would stay longer but the noise from the adjacent rooms is high because of poor sound proofing. Rooms are so reasonably priced though and after 12 there was no problem with sound but its worth noting for longer stays. The local village is clearly in transition and with no bars and few people to speak english, we experienced an opportunity to explore Turkish people do their utmost to overcome language barriers by kindness and gestures. Great to happen on a place that is less visited and yet is delighted to see you...
