A very nice and quiet hotel a short walk from the main sites in Sultanameth. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the room was comfortable and clean. Finally, the breakfast was amazing. One could almost say that you pay for the breakfast and get the room as a bonus.

The best hotel I have ever stayed in in my entire life. Absolutely beautiful, comfortable, extremely clean, with excellent service. The breakfast was wonderful — a perfect and varied Turkish breakfast. I simply loved it. I found this hotel to be the most beautiful place in the world. Emerald, the hotel’s adorable cat mascot, is the sweetest thing. And Eren Bursa is an excellent professional — kind, attentive, fun, and very friendly. I have nothing but compliments for the whole team. If I could give this hotel one million stars, I truly would.
