During our road trip from Antalya to Izmir, this is our favorite hotel. It was so charming and you…read morecould tell that the owners are proud of what they have created. The staff are all warm as well. Their breakfast was lovely and it felt so nice to eat with view. :) The decor was immaculate and every piece seemed to be intentional and of quality. The bed was so comfortable and the air conditioner was perfect after a long day out in the summer sun. One of the issues is that WiFi is weak so we ended up resorting to our data. There is also no blow dryer for us girlies BUT the shower head is a nice touch so it's not a bad trade off - especially since we travel with a small dryer. Hahaha. Street parking is free but can be tough especially when you're parked on the hill. This place is nearby everything so don't forget to roam around before while you stay with them! Highly recommended!

I stayed at this hotel for one night while on a 2 day tour of Ephesus and Pamukkale. The hotel has…read morebeen open for less than a year and so everything about it just sparkles. The rooms are very nice and the service is good with friendly staff who communicate well in English. The great buffet breakfast on the top floor with its spectacular view of the harbor is probably worth the price alone. There is an internet terminal available in the lobby. I would certainly stay there if I return to Kusadasi.

From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by the most hospitable hosts Erdem and Samira-the warmest and most gracious hosts. A Huge thank you to the most amazing family who run the lovely Livia Hotel: Erdem, Samira, and Ali. Erdem's passion, energy, and hospitality is immediately evident. The delightful Samira who made my stay so memorable. Your warmth, smile, kindness, and generosity will never be forgotten. Ali: thank you for the many laughs and for some very funny conversations. You immediately feel at home here, it's like visiting old friends and family. The hotel is very central, a very short walk to the main bus station, Ephesus Museum, Saint John's church, Seljuk castle, and Isa Bey mosque. Livia hotel is very cozy, clean, and absolutely lovely. The highlight (apart from the most amazing staff/hosts) is the incredible breakfast. It's truly epic with delicious homemade acuka, preserves, cheeses, honey, olives, bread, vegetables, muffins, and eggs cooked to your preference. The homemade acuka (tomatoes, peppers, and spices made into a thick paste) was to die for! It is very difficult to make and I can confidently say, it was the Best acuka I've ever had. The family takes great pride in the homemade foods they serve. I was utterly stuffed after breakfast. In all of my years of traveling and countless hotels that I've frequented, Livia is probably the most memorable. I was very sad when I left but the precious memories I've forged while here will stay with me forever. Thank you Livia hotel for your warm and generous hospitality: the biggest 5 stars.

Several of our group took advantage of the spa services in the hotel. We used the fitness room and were glad of it. This hotel is not located in an area in which one would easily take a walk outside; a steep driveway leads to the main gate, then you have to cross the road (across a blind curve) to reach the sidewalk. Then a 20 minute stroll to the harbor. The buffet meals here were excellent with an abundance of every flavor and type of food you could want. Would highly recommend!
