We checked in at this hotel, and no one spoke English. Despite that, the check-in went smoothly, and our room and beds were clean and comfortable. We arrived at night and were looking for food; the website mentioned an “onsite” restaurant, which is actually a short walk down the street. The owner’s wife kindly guided us there—it’s her husband’s restaurant. Prices were reasonable for a tourist area, not like a small-town restaurant. The family seems to run both the hotel and the restaurant. On checkout morning, we were served a freshly cooked breakfast, which made our stay even more comfortable.

Merci pour l’accueil

I had a problem with what they said they were offering and what I got. No toiletries, my room wasn’t cleaned each day, nobody did anything to it. But what I was most upset with is the breakfast. It was not a Buffett and they seemed to make it when they felt like it. Not at 8. Nobody stays at the property so you have to wait for them to show up to make it, first day it was around 8:15 that someone showed up to start cooking, second day I asked for breakfast at 8 for I had to get going. They said no problem, so at 8 the next morning the wife walks in to start. I had breakfast at 8:30. Which meant I was an hour behind my schedule, nice people but what they advertise and I paid for is not what I received.

Good location, walkable from train station, close to museum and castle. Proprietor was kind and took me to the Ephesus archeological site just before it opened at 8 in the morning. Room was very basic and it seemed the price was a bit high even after discounts - but it is Selcuk/Ephesus. Breakfast included, but doesn't start until 8 so I missed it during both days of visit.

Lovely stay

Ali Baba was a wonderful host. The staff were waiting for us and when we arrived and had our room ready. The room was simple and clean. This is an old building with lots of character, not a brand new, shiny hotel. Breakfast was wonderful - a traditional Turkish breakfast, served by Ali Baba and his wife. There is parking and it is in walking distance to all the attractions within Selcuk’s city limits and within a couple hours driving time to other major attractions.

Clean and centrally located

Given the reviews and price, I was expecting something with a bit more style and comfort. It’s not luxurious, but it does have its good points. Firstly, the owners are lovely. Friendly, helpful and keen to please. Secondly, it’s centrally located in a quiet neighbourhood. The rooms and comfort level are fairly ordinary. Clean and spacious, but fairly basic with wifi that only reliably works in the courtyard and breakfast room. I was happy with the stay, but would have liked a bit more comfort and a stronger wifi connection.

Great Guesthouse but not wheelchair accessible

Ali Baba's is a great guesthouse. It's in a great location. It has a lovely courtyard. The room we had was large and scrupulously clean. The hosts were welcoming and gave us great breakfasts. I would stay here again without hesitation. It is, however, not wheelchair accessible and I booked there based on the information that it was. As we arrived they were in the middle of building 2 ramps for me which worked delightfully. The bathroom in our room was not wheelchair accessible but if that is absolutely required a large hotel is probably your best bet. This worked for me.
