Great mix of old and new! The workmanship done to refurbish and rebuild this old castle into a mix of old and modern is beyond perfect .Our room was big, comfy, clean, full of amenities, and thoughtfully and artfully finished. The workers were all pleasant and helpful. Food was delicious and very plentiful and a bargain that was included in our room price. . We received delicious cheese filled warm Pita and dessert in the afternoon, a sit down dinner with freshly made soup, salad with fresh herbs, stew and dessert. Breakfast had a fresh delicious buffet and then we were served delicious cooked eggs and fresh pita with cheese This is a unique hotel for someone who loves the countryside and wants to stay in a castle. The atmosphere, architecture, upper lookout patios, garden trails, water hole and museum tour were extra bonuses . The newly planted gardens was wonderful and will be a delight to see when in bloom and in years to come.

I had a wonderful stay at the Golden Horn Bosphore Hotel! The location is perfect, just a stone's throw from the metro, making it easy to explore the city. The staff is truly exceptional—welcoming and always ready to assist. A big thank you to the manager, Medeni, and to Utkan and Majd for their daily support and attention to detail. The service exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area!

Room was absolutely spotless and a fair size considering this is a central location. Breakfast was a wholesome continental style with a fair range with mostly uncooked foods. Quite decent coffee. Very good location with views over to the blue mosque and 10 minutes walk (or 15 minutes for my family members) to the Grand Bazaar and Sultanameht tram stop. All staff are very polite, cheerful and helpful - we always felt safe and comfortable. Felt very sorry for Halit who was trying his best to help us despite suffering from a motorcycle accident - I really hope he gets better soon.

Breakfast at this serene accommodation is a feast with personal touches - local fruits and veggies alternate daily and the baked goods homemade. Turkish coffee a delight! Friendly staff eager to please.

Kemal was such a friendly, helpful and sincere host. We also loved the elevated view and perfect distance from the town centre

Wonderful boutique hotel, perfectly located in the old town. 2 minutes from the most important sites. staff were exceptional - they couldn’t have done more to make our stay perfect.

Beautiful location under the mountain, fantastic food and hospitable staff.

You feel yourself at home. Friendly team,

friendliness of staff, hospitality, location, cleaness … everything.

We did not expect the quite exceptional experience we had at the Akanthus Hotel. The owners have thought of every detail - and have created a homely, welcoming environment for their guests. At no point did we feel as if we were staying in a hotel. We felt welcomed into a home. Turkish tea and cake was available at no cost all day. The rooms are designed with beautiful little touches, like antique artwork, a perfect choice of calming music in the public areas, the central pool with its fabulous views over the old city and also a very practical room layout - especially the en suite bathroom design. And we were in the smallest of 12 rooms (soon to expand to 17 rooms). The breakfast - Wow! We are already planning an extended stay here to take advantage of their ideal location in the old town of Selçuk, very close to the ancient city of Ephesus and the last home of the Virgin Mary / Meryem. We felt part of this historic place, thanks our new friends at the Akanthus and the haven of peace and tranquility they have created here.
