We felt lucky to have gotten rooms having shown up unannounced, hoping for the best. Hotel Bella is a beautiful little place, with a great rooftop restaurant and unique rooms full of textiles and craftwork. Given its location directly beside the ruins of St. John’s Basilica, you can’t help but feel you’ve landed somewhere exclusive. The owner and staff did... More

We spent three nights at Hotel Bella in November 2011. The staff was very helpful in orienting us to Selcuk and the nearby historical sites. Even though we had a rental car, they drove us to Ephesus so we could walk the ruins in one direction and not have to double back to the car park. They dropped us off... More

The excellent service from this Hotel starts from your first contact. The response to emails was very prompt with a great deal of information and suggestions. We stayed just the one night but it was very memorable. The building itself is charming. The decor and touches of detail are excellent. The whole place was spic and span. The welcoming drink... More

The previous 3 reviews were not at all reflective of our experience at Hotel Bella on 11/22 & 23. Our stay was quite pleasant. Hotel Bella provided accommodations for us at the last minute when there was a mix up with our reservations in another city. The rooms were on the smallish side - but larger than many found in...

Another reviewer stated this hotel felt like a Hostel and I agree with that sentiment. Perhaps a medium security prison camp is more fitting. This hotel came with such stellar reviews, I just can't imagine under what delusions traveler's are living in order to view this hotel as anything other than a tired, cramped, and smelly little hovel in Selchuk....

We booked our room based the reviews and boy were we surprised by what we encountered! First, we were taken up to the terrace to be met by a New Zealand woman who tells us about tours they have and the rug shop downstairs. Total sales pitch to try to get us to book tours and buy rugs. Then we're... More

I booked the hotel based on tripadvisor reviews and thought it might be more of an experience to stay "in town" for our ephesus visit. boy was i wrong. i was expecting a tiny boutique but in reality it felt more like a nicely decorated hostel. i would've appreciated the heat in the room turned on in anticipation of my...

My husband and I arrived at Hotel Bella absolutely exhausted from an overnight bus trip. The staff at Hotel Bella was a godsend. The staff there is highly organized, extremely helpful, and went the extra mile to ensure we had a wonderful experience. They took great care of us - a free ride to Ephesus, complete with a guidebook and... More

I stayed at Hotel Bella in Selcuk, Turkey for 8 days in November 2011 (last week) with my partner. The purpose of our trip was to see Ephesus, following a few hectic days in Istanbul and to take some time to rest and relax. Hotel Bella simply exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the unique turkish decour! We stayed on the... More
