I recently stayed at Ephesus Hera Hotel in Selçuk and had a mixed experience overall. One of the standout aspects of my stay was the owner, Mesut, who was incredibly talkative and provided excellent recommendations for local attractions like Yoncaköy Beach and Efes Tek Meyhane. His insights truly added value to my visit and helped me explore the area.
On the other hand, there were some areas that fell short of my expectations. The breakfast offered at the hotel was average in terms of quality. It didn't provide a standout experience compared to other hotels I've stayed at. Additionally, I encountered a maintenance issue with a broken toilet seat cover, which was disappointing.
While the hotel claimed to have been renewed, it seemed like only minor improvements had been made. The overall ambiance and facilities didn't match the standards I would expect from a hotel and felt more like a pension. Another concern I had was the security of the room keys, as they didn't provide the level of safety and peace of mind I would prefer.
In summary, the Ephesus Hera Hotel has its highlights, such as the friendly and talkative owner and the great recommendations provided. However, there are areas that need improvement, including the breakfast quality, maintenance standards, and security measures. With some attention to these aspects, the hotel could enhance the overall guest experience.
