"My family and I were delighted with our stay at the Nazar Hotel during our day trip to Ephesus. Located just one street away from the main route to the archaeological sites, this charming hotel sits in a residential neighborhood within walking distance of the Ephesus Museum, local cafes, and shops. The convenient gated parking area in the back was perfect for our car.
What truly made our experience exceptional was the owner’s outstanding hospitality and local expertise. Speaking fluent English, he provided invaluable tips that helped us maximize our time and navigate the ancient sites efficiently. Our family room was clean and simple, perfectly sized for three guests, and comfortably air-conditioned. The excellent water pressure in the shower was a welcome luxury after our day of sightseeing. The traditional Turkish breakfast was graciously moved from 8:00 AM to 7:30 AM to accommodate our early start, featuring authentic specialties plus a delicious lemon poppy cake served with Turkish tea and coffee.
The Nazar Hotel is truly a hidden gem that combines comfort, convenience, and genuine Turkish hospitality. While we didn’t have time to enjoy the swimming pool during our brief visit, this family-run establishment proved to be the perfect base for exploring Ephesus, offering exceptional value and thoughtful service that enhanced our entire experience."
