I had a really enjoyable stay at Hotel Ephesus in Istanbul. The room on the 8th floor was clean, spacious, and had a lovely sea view from the balcony. While the breakfast had plenty of options and the rooftop terrace was a lovely spot to sip coffee, there were a couple of hiccups during my stay, particularly with staff assistance on family room accommodations. Overall, though, the friendly staff and great location made my trip nice.

I had a lovely stay at Hotel Ephesus Istanbul, highlighted by the beautiful views from my 8th-floor room and the helpfulness of the staff. 📅 The location was perfect for exploring the city, with many attractions easily accessible on foot or via public transport.
