Great hotel in Selcuk
Lovely family run hotel and restaurant with large garden for relaxing after tourist days. We asked for early breakfast to get to ruins early - no problem. The dinners and breakfasts were excellent. Parking spot. Highly recommend.

Hotel Kalehan exceeded my expectations! This charming hotel is the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. A beautiful cascade of purple bouganveilla framed the window of my room! And it overlooked a tree-shaded courtyard perfect for reading or a cocktail and conversation. The staff--from reception, bellhop, chef and hotel owner--offered exceptional service. Delicious dinner and breakfast. My room was charmingly decorated and the bed was super comfy. Don't miss this wonderful hotel!

We loved the tranquil setting with a beautiful garden (including tortoise) and swimming pool. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and included local dishes. The best part was the friendly informative staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief visit and would have liked to have stayed longer.

We loved everything. It may not be everyone’s ideal hotel as it is a bit rustic with lots of vintage touches and a bohemian ambience.

Peaceful oasis in city
Lovely hotel, with good room for three people, very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are in a separate courtyard from the main hotel. with a wonderful garden and beautiful pool .Some of the information in description was inaccurate - one bedroom instead two, and no free water but not a major problem . Food was very good though, both for breakfast and dinner .

Gerek odaları, gerek sabah kahvaltısı, gerek akşam yemekleri, gerek hizmet gerekse otelin fiziki şartları olsun tamamen harikaydı, kolay kolay harika demem ama harikaydı. İllaki kusur söylemem gerekirse internet biraz yavaştı ama hiç mühim değil açıkçası.

Ortalama
Odamız yol tarafında ve en üst katta olduğu için klimasız durulmuyordu. Gece bile klima çalıştırmak zorunda kaldık. Ayrıca yoldan geçen araçların sesi, bizim gibi sessizlik arayanlar için moral bozucu. Hayvan dostu olması çok güzel fakat çimlerde köpek kakası görmek hoş değildi. Çevre temizliği konusunda daha titiz olunabilirdi. Bunun dışında hizmet iyiydi ve otel sahibi Mehmet Bey oldukça ilgili ve güler yüzlü bir insan.

Maravilhoso!
Se eu soubesse que este Hotel era puro charme, teria dado um jeito de ficar pelo menos mais um dia. Ele é super fofo, tem uma decoração aconchegante, o serviço é ótimo, o quarto é de um tamanho bom e os jardins são maravilhosos! A comida é nota 10! As músicas tocadas na hora das refeições são perfeitas, dando uma sensação de paz.. Super recomendo!
