We came to Selcuk so I could show my husband the town I grew up in. I chose the hotel based on the reviews I'd seen here on TripAdvisor and I was not disappointed! The hotel is lovely, nicely decorated and the personnel are very accommodating. They represented the nice side of Turkey that I remember and made us feel... More

The Nilya is a beautiful little gem of a hotel just a short walk away from the church and final resting place of St. John the Revelator (writer of Revelation), the cute downtown of Selcuk, and a lovely old mosque with the nicest imam I've ever met (and yes, I've met a few). The rooms are roomy, catch a great... More

We stayed for one night to sneek in a visit to The local sites. When we arranged the stay they sent us options to get there from the Izmir airport. Although the train is cheap and a straight shot from Izmir to Selcuk we opted for them to pick us up at the airport. Everything went smoothly from the pickup,... More

We stayed at the Nilya for two nights and found everything to be perfect. The room was clean, large enough, and decorated in Turkish designs. I liked one of the prints so much, we went to the owner's store and purchased one. They accommodated us with serving us an early breakfast and assisted us in arranging our time spent in... More

We stayed at the Hotel Nilya as our base for taking in the wonders of Ephesus, the house of the Virgin Mary and St John's Basilica. It's a small hotel owned by two locals, Erdal and Nazmi, who also own another hotel close by called the Bella. Erdal arranged for us to be picked up from Izmir airport and our... More

We stayed here for four nights. Originally tried to book at sister property, Hotel Bella (great rooftop dining overlooking castle) but am glad we were here instead. Lovely courtyard overlooking the hills of Selcuk. A little tricky to find first time but a local saw us trudging up the hill, called the hotel and they came to fetch us. They... More

We had a very warm welcome in this delightful and secluded hotel. The owner gave us really useful local information over a welcome drink. He also told us about the four course set dinner at the sister Hotel Bella. We tried and it was excellent and amazing value even including the wine. Breakfast on the patio back at the Nilya... More

This is a great, little hotel ideally situated for Ephesus and St John's Basilica. We ate in the restaurant at Hotel Bella (their sister hotel) on the owner's recommendation and also at Ehmet and Alibaba's Kebap House (Tripadvisor's top rated restaurant) and found Bella's better, just as the owner suggested we would. Rooms are very traditional and nicely furnished, shower... More

We loved our stay at Hotel Nilya for three nights. Nazmir is an excellent and kind host and the food in the restaurant at Hotel Bella (the sister hotel) is wonderful and affordable. The rooms are very clean and beautifully decorated, breakfast is very good, and the service is kind and helpful. We loved the courtyard area, too. The location... More
