Couldn’t find any flaws. The only minor thing is the AC doesn’t reach the bed well, so it gets a little warm.

The owner was very thoughtful and friendly. He recommended nearby attractions and even let us check out late, so we could shower after a hot day of sightseeing. Breakfast was plentiful with tasty jams, cheese, omelette, and salad. He also speaks a bit of Chinese, cool! We’ll definitely come back!

Very cute boutique style hotel. Felt like home.

It was wonderful, nothing bad to say.

The hotel was beautifully presented from the time you walked into the courtyard entrance. The rooms were very comfortable, tastefully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The owner was extremely generous with his time and helped us optimize our limited time in the area. I have traveled to many parts of the world with work and have stayed at some of the nicest 5 star hotels, however, The Livia hotel has been my most enjoyable experience at a hotel ever.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Erdem is truly one of the best hosts we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting in all our travels. He is incredibly warm, genuine, and goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and at home. From the moment we arrived, he took the time to patiently explain the nearby sights and gave us excellent recommendations for getting the most out of our stay. The property itself is stunning—beautifully maintained, tastefully decorated, and in an unbeatable location. It’s just a short walk to the Basilica of St. John and the castle, with plenty of great restaurants nearby. Parking was easy and convenient. Excellent value for money! And the Turkish breakfast, oh absolutely unforgettable! We are talking about FULL TURKISH BREAKFAST! Generous spread featuring a variety of local cheeses, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh bread, homemade jams, eggs, and more. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It felt like starting the day with a feast. Thank you, Erdem and the team for making our stay so special!

Maybe the WiFi, but that could be just for the period we were there, and they solved it as soon as we informed them, so they are quite responsive in that regard.

Everything was perfect, from the responsiveness of the host to the quality of the rooms and of course, the real MVP, the breakfast was very extravagant and nice.

Centrally located hotel in Selcuk. Erdem and his team are amazing, super friendly, and attentive. Highly recommend if you are staying in the area, walking distance to all the main sites and close to the minibus to Ephesus.

The location was a short walk to a large percentage of what you want to see the old section Istanbul. And right next-door is a wonderful bomb for a relaxing Turkish Bath. The room was immaculate and recently remodeled and quiet.

We ended up staying in the Livia Gardens Hotel around the corner. The manager could not do enough for us and the rest of the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The room was wonderful and the breakfast a feast of local produce. A lovely relaxing pool and sun lounges topped off a great day of exploring Ephesus.

We were there during 'slow' season (January). We had a room upgrade and it was beautiful. They arranged for our private guide of Ephesus and offered suggestions to local restaurants as well as directions for our walks. The hotel was fairly quiet but located in a neighborhood, as were many of the hotels, so there was some outside noise. Nothing to make it an unpleasant stay.

Nice garden with a pool and bar, fantastic for family stay.

Beautiful facilities, great location and most importantly fantastic hosts. We were greeted with sincere smiles and open friendliness. Breakfast (traditional Turkish) was varied and oh so tasty! We also loved the cats that kept us company during breakfast in the garden. Thank you!

The team, especially Erdem, were incredibly welcoming and helpful. We received excellent advice on local tours, making the most of our three-day stay. The hotel itself is tastefully decorated and furnished, with a room that was both extremely clean and comfortable. Breakfast offered a delightful variety to suit all tastes.

Nothing. But there is something noteworthy. Visitors must be aware that this hotel isn't in use now. Please remember to call phone number on front door of Livia Hotel Ephesus. [[ It's of no use to knock on the door or shout loudly! ]] Then, around 5 minutes, you will be guided to Livia Garden Hotel instead. Both Livia Hotel Ephesus/Livia Garden Hotel are same owners with same facilities.

He (property owner) is one of the best guides and owner I've ever seen before. Kind of funny and explain meticulously about every sightseeing around the hotel. The location is very good because Artemis Temple in the walking distance.

We especially liked Erdem and his colleagues, they were very sweet and made the stay at the hotel 10/10. They were very good with the cleaning. The location is very good especially if you wanna see cultural places! It’s not a too crowded hotel either which is really refreshing. All in all Livia Hotel Ephesus is a very good hotel and extremely cheap considering everything you get!

Only that I didn’t stay longer.

Everything was the best in the hotel. We were upgraded to Livia Garden Hotel, which was very grateful. The two owners are handsome and very very hospitable. They seemed to worry they couldn’t give us more. The rooms are very stylish and cosy. The garden is well-maintained and beautiful. Although we didn’t use the swimming pool, it just looked very inviting. Last but not the least, the breakfast is too good to be true. It was served by the pool, which was very enjoyable. It was my first time eating traditional Turkish breakfast and I am totally amazed at the wonderful taste and quality. You must come to experience this hotel yourself. You won’t regret it.
