SUMATRA OTEL
"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment we arrived, the owners were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Hatice Hanım’s homemade breakfast was absolutely delicious, and everything was freshly made. This is a lovely family run hotel, and everyone, including their children, was kind and always ready to help. The rooms were clean, and the hotel truly reflects the spirit of Şanlıurfa.It is also within easy walking distance of Balıklıgöl and the historic bazaar. A special thanks to Mehmet Bey, who kindly drove us to the bus station late in the evening without expecting anything in return.We truly appreciated his kindness. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Şanlıurfa."

Doubletree By Hilton Sanliurfa
"The hotel is clean and well maintained. But the parking lot is really small and weird structure go in and come out…"
ABRAHAM OTEL
"Perfect choice for Sanliurfa. Fish pools just over the road and beautiful views from the hotel of the fish pool gardens and castle wall ruins. Breakfast was amazing! First class. We also had a fantastic dinner in the cellar for a Turkish evening. It is pretty loud but a lot of fun with authentic Turkish music and fantastic food. The top restaurant wasn’t open that would have seen the views, I’m guessing because it was too windy?"
