Erdem is truly one of the best hosts we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting in all our travels. He is incredibly warm, genuine, and goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and at home. From the moment we arrived, he took the time to patiently explain the nearby sights and gave us excellent recommendations for getting the most out of our stay. The property itself is stunning—beautifully maintained, tastefully decorated, and in an unbeatable location. It’s just a short walk to the Basilica of St. John and the castle, with plenty of great restaurants nearby. Parking was easy and convenient. Excellent value for money! And the Turkish breakfast, oh absolutely unforgettable! We are talking about FULL TURKISH BREAKFAST! Generous spread featuring a variety of local cheeses, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh bread, homemade jams, eggs, and more. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It felt like starting the day with a feast. Thank you, Erdem and the team for making our stay so special!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Firstly, we were diverted, on arrival at a locked gate, to the other Livia hotel [ Livia Garden Hotel Ephesus ], and were happy to make that change. Our welcome was excellent, with personal advice given re local sights and eateries. We enjoyed our comfortable & spacious upstairs room for our week's stay. The daily breakfast in al fresco poolside area was excellent & staff were very attentive & courteous.

Perhaps beyond the control of the hotel we had inconsiderate other guests using the garden and al fresco dining area late at night, which disturbed our sleep. The hotel could also improve its provision of English language TV stations.

He (property owner) is one of the best guides and owner I've ever seen before. Kind of funny and explain meticulously about every sightseeing around the hotel. The location is very good because Artemis Temple in the walking distance.

Nothing. But there is something noteworthy. Visitors must be aware that this hotel isn't in use now. Please remember to call phone number on front door of Livia Hotel Ephesus. [[ It's of no use to knock on the door or shout loudly! ]] Then, around 5 minutes, you will be guided to Livia Garden Hotel instead. Both Livia Hotel Ephesus/Livia Garden Hotel are same owners with same facilities.

Everything was the best in the hotel. We were upgraded to Livia Garden Hotel, which was very grateful. The two owners are handsome and very very hospitable. They seemed to worry they couldn’t give us more. The rooms are very stylish and cosy. The garden is well-maintained and beautiful. Although we didn’t use the swimming pool, it just looked very inviting. Last but not the least, the breakfast is too good to be true. It was served by the pool, which was very enjoyable. It was my first time eating traditional Turkish breakfast and I am totally amazed at the wonderful taste and quality. You must come to experience this hotel yourself. You won’t regret it.

Only that I didn’t stay longer.

- Overall Property (10/10): The same hotel with two properties. One is Livia Hotel Ephesus and one is Livia Garden Hotel, close to each other. I was upgraded to Livia Garden. The moment you enter you feel a beautiful energy in this beautiful boutique hotel. A nice garden with a nice pool (where you’ll have breakfast). - Location (10/10): perfect and walking distance to different restaurants and tourist attractions. - Neighborhood (10/10): beautiful and felt safe. - Cleanliness (10/10): Everything is clean and well taken care of. - Rooms: very nice and have everything you need with comfortable bed. - Breakfast (10/10): Delicious Turkish breakfast - Hospitality (1000/10): everyone is so kind and welcoming, especially Erdem the hotel manager; he went above and beyond to make me feel at home. He explained everything and helped book my tours and airport taxi.

We especially liked Erdem and his colleagues, they were very sweet and made the stay at the hotel 10/10. They were very good with the cleaning. The location is very good especially if you wanna see cultural places! It’s not a too crowded hotel either which is really refreshing. All in all Livia Hotel Ephesus is a very good hotel and extremely cheap considering everything you get!

The team, especially Erdem, were incredibly welcoming and helpful. We received excellent advice on local tours, making the most of our three-day stay. The hotel itself is tastefully decorated and furnished, with a room that was both extremely clean and comfortable. Breakfast offered a delightful variety to suit all tastes. Additionally, the hotel's location is perfect, close to major attractions and charming restaurants. Thank you once again for a wonderful stay!

The hosts were fabulous and helped us with outing reservations, info on local busses, and airport transfer. We especially enjoyed fires in our fireplace in the evenings. Breakfasts were lovely and scrumptious. They turned on the TV for breakfast which first I was wishing they wouldn't, but instead of news or some other thing I didn't want intruding on my breakfast, there were beautiful vids with gentle music - themed to travel, etc, without adverts. It was lovely!

Nothing to put here - it was all in all a positive experience all the way around.

We were there during 'slow' season (January). We had a room upgrade and it was beautiful. They arranged for our private guide of Ephesus and offered suggestions to local restaurants as well as directions for our walks. The hotel was fairly quiet but located in a neighborhood, as were many of the hotels, so there was some outside noise. Nothing to make it an unpleasant stay.

Everything has been perfect! Erdem and all staff are the warmest, sincere and very helpful. Rooms are furnished and decorated with high standard. Stay for more days if you can and spread the visit to the sights in the areas to a few days because it would be a shame not to relax in the beautiful garden and pool after a hard walk in Ephesus. Location’s great too, in a quiet and curated area but just a few minutes walk to see the vibrant local lives, and a few minutes drive from Ephesus is convenient to get there early and avoid the crowd.

By no means as a negative thing per se, just a suggestion: we were really pampered to the degree that something seems wasteful, for example, I’d be perfectly happy if the towels are changed upon request and not necessarily everyday!
