“It exceeded all my expectations”
I was informed by the crew that the hostel was close, so because of this they would put me in a twin room in a hotel that they have close - where I stayed alone. It exceed my expectations not only because of the room, but also because of how friendly the team is, e.g. Yusuf and Iici are lovely persons and they will try their 120% to make everything work more than smoothly for you. Food is awesome, the view is awesome and everything else. If I was a millionaire, maybe I'd live there. =D Thank you!

They seamlessly arranged an airport pickup for me (price is 80 euros) . Cemal was such good company otw to the hotel. Gave me a brief background on Selcuk and pointing out all the orchards with the fruit trees. The hostel itself is very neat and clean. The building where you check in is a short walk from the actual hostel though. I lucked out that I was the only guest at the time in the ladies dorms so I had the room and the toilet all to myself. Bed was comfy and the pillow was so soft and divine. There are shoe cabinets under the bed. The rooms also have AC. The check in area has a very friendly cat and dog, which I think, is important to point out because they both wanted pets... Cemal also gave me a ride to Kusadasi for my boat tour for the taxi price 35 euros. Wifi is fast and there's a rooftop balcony you could chill on for dinner or breakfast. Kitchen is clean and functional with a water heater I was able to use to make tea and coffee. I was planning on checking out early morning before I went for a tour around Ephesus but no one was at the reception at 8am. So I just left my stuff in the hostel lobby, went for my tour and came back to pay for my stay. Very chill place. Very central. The Ephesus museum is just below. Train station is maybe an 11 or 12mins walk away . Ayasuluk hill/St. John's Basilica also a very short walk away. Would recommend for solo travelers who want a peaceful hostel.

The staff were discrete but available, with a lot of information for the guests. The room was perfectly clean and equipped. The bathroom was also super clean. The kitchen is well equipped too (just missing a microwave to make reheating easier :)) The location is perfect, near to everything you need in Selcuk. There is another place a bit fancier, 150 meters away, where you can eat if you want - you can even ask for the breakfast there.

This hostel is a gem - excellent location and facilities. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the place was very clean and spacious and the bunks were very comfortable. They gave a towel on arrival and there was also a tap for filtered water. Would definitely return.

“The hostel exceeded my expectations!”
I don’t usually choose hostels - especially in Turkey - because it’s rare to find beds with privacy curtains. But here, they’ve really thought things through. The men’s and women’s areas are on separate floors, and the fully equipped kitchen is located on the top floor with a terrace, which is a great bonus. There are several bathrooms on each floor, with showers and toilets combined in private, lockable units - a rare find! The area is surrounded by historical sites that are perfect for walking and exploring, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. A surprisingly comfortable and thoughtful stay )

“Great place to stay, location is great, staff is friendly & helpful”
Nice location. Centrally located. All key things are at a walking distance - such as train station, bus station. Tourist attractions are located near --> Ephesus museum, Basilica of St. John, Ayasuluk Hill and Castle, İsa Bey Mosque, the Temple of Artemis are located a walking distance. Eatiing places, groceries - located near. The property appears to be new, things are clean and nice. It is a quiet place. I enjoyed my stay here. If I come again, I would like to stay again at Yolo hostel. Thanks to Yusuf for all his kind and helpful service. I enjoyed my friendly chats and interactions.

This was a great hostel to stay in - perfect location, nice rooms, extremely clean and the staff were wonderful. Yusuf was very welcoming and always happy to answer any questions I might have. Rojhat kindly offered to show me the souvenir/carpet shop at their sister hotel - I enjoyed being able to look at everything in a relaxed environment. Thank you!

“Just book it - you won't find better!”
Ozgun is THE best hostel manager! He's so kind and friendly and can speak several languages so no need to worry that you won't be understood! Really makes you feel welcome and happy to sit and chat with you so you won't feel lonely if you're a solo traveller :) The hostel is super clean and very modern. Beds are very comfy and showers the best I've used in my 3 weeks in Turkey. Kitchen, filtered water and the roof terrace and balcony are all added bonuses. Perfect location about 3 minutes from the bus station, 10 from the train and a few hundred metres from all the main sites (Ephesus is a 10tl bus away) Can't recommend highly enough. Thanks Ozgun! Lovely to meet you!

One of the best hostels I ever encountered. Everything was very clean and comfortable, the bus station, Ephesos Museum and some of the sights were only a few minutes away. Yusuf was very friendly and always ready to help with additional requests. I would totally come back next time.
