"We spent 3 nights in the budget room upstairs and had an amazing time. The place is only 5 months old which means everything is nice and clean. It’s located slightly out of the centre. It’s nice and quiet and a short walk brings you to the middle of the old town. The hotel has got a big terrace and offers great views. The lady who runs the hotel and her brother Umit were incredible hospitable. Umit drove us to Dara (3000 lira in October 2026). Dara is a must to see but a visit to Saffran Monastery turned out to be an absolute waste as the obligatory guide spoke only Turkish."
"Hotel is in the best location possible and was so pleasant to stay in. Room was great (an upgrade!) And breakfast was diverse and fresh. Staff were great!"
"The room was clean and comfortable but very small.. okay for one person but not two. Bathroom also is tiny but very clean and good hot water. Bed was comfortable and there is a kettle and a refrigerator in the room. It was also quiet at night. Value for money."
"Hotel was great and in a great location. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They provide breakfast in the morning which was delicious. Recommend hotel ."
"Everything was perfect! The manager, Nuh was very helpful and his staff, Sali and Ayup were friendly and attentive, making sure our visit was everything we wished for....we had a free room upgrade too....and, the breakfast was the best we've had in Turkey, and we have travelled extensively across this beautiful country ❤️🇹🇷❤️🇹🇷"
"Exceptionally clean. Great rooftop, great walkable location. The owner helped us to organize a driver for Dara or a tour if you needed. They appear to be doing even more upgrades as time goes."
