Ena Serenity Boutique Hotel

The owners were super nice! They even took time out of their schedule to take me to urgent care for a laceration from earlier in the day.

I wanted to like the ENA Serenity Hotel. It was in a good location and I was able to park on the street a block from the entrance. The room was clean and things generally seemed well maintained. I do, however, have a few critiques of the hotel. The most important, to me, was that they charged 10 Euro extra per night for an additional guest. We were originally two people staying in a five bed room - five beds, to me, means that the room can accommodate five people. Furthermore, after returning home, I was curious to see if the website would charge me more for three people than for two people (same room, same length of stay over a weekend, etc.). It did not. The owner made it seem like this was a normal charge, but it was not and I resent being taken advantage of. There were a few other, smaller, inconveniences - the shower did not always have hot water (although the hotel was definitely not full); the bathroom had a lingering sewage smell (did not go away after pouring water down the drains as it sometimes does); and the most ridiculous, to me, was that the bathroom door was essentially a piece of barely frosted glass - anyone using the bathroom during the night lit up the entire room, disturbing everyone. There was no way around it. Even using a cell phone flash light was readily apparent through the glass. I'd only recommend this hotel if you're a big group looking to stay somewhere inexpensive. Definitely not the exceptional hotel that other reviews made it out to be.

quiet neighbor, conveniently located to visit Ephesus and Pamukkale. Host and staff are very helpful.

Like many we wanted to find accomidation that was close to Ephesus, and this place couldnt be better positioned. Within walking distance of the Museum, Artemis Temple and the Ottoman Castle yet positioned in a quiet part. The owner of the property arranged a private transfer both to and from the airport, Ephesus and the nearby Library of Celsus. The cost for this was very favourable when comoared to alternative options. We visited whilst part of the hotel was being renovated, therefore some of the facilities were reduced, although this had been reflected in the price. Overall the accommodation and staff were very good, it was clear that if we'd arrived during high season that the property would be great for a relaxing time away.

I liked this boutique hotel as soon as I stepped through the door, and asked for an extra night. The staff are pleasant and helpful, the room simple, refreshing, all I needed. Excellent location for touring in Ephesus and visiting the nearby archaelogical museum which is a good one. Great having breakfast on the upper terrace with distant views and sense of space.

This was a very cute, homey, authentic ottoman- style hotel. The rooms come with A/C, wifi and your own bathroom and shower but the rooms are very tiny. It’s not a hotel to hang around it - just to sleep in. The couple and the their baby are very sweet and excellent hosts. The view from the small terrace at the top floor is really beautiful. You can see the ruins of Temple of Artemis from their roof. Breakfast was small but pretty good. We would recommend it to anyone.

Everything was very enjoyable and a comfortable place to stay. Handy location to Otogar, Ephesus, Basilica and castle. Very friendly and hospitable. Delicious breakfast and would highly recommend.

It has a great location. Very close to the bus, minibus and train stations. A few steps from the Archaeology Museum. The owners are extremely nice and helpful. They arrange local tours at very reasonable prices. The breakfast was very good. The room was basic, but very clean and comfortable. It was a resting stay. I would happily stay here again when I am back in Ephesus. Thanks!

Lovely warm welcome from the couple that run the place. Very clean and comfortable rooms with great terrace to chill out.

What you see is what you get. This little place is a gem, located within minutes from the major sites, like Ephesus, Ephesus Museum, At. John's Basilica. It was awesome. The hosts were great the beds were comfy. Room spacious enough for a family with two younger children. Overall it was a good stay!
