Built into the hillside this hotel is beautifully decorated and the staff extremely attentive and considerate. From valet parking to a private hotel tour after the included breakfast, everything is 5 star. One of the servers offered to show us 2 cave rooms and brought our chai along. With obviously a rich heritage in the adjacent parks and museums, the hotel is a reflection of the wonderful welcoming culture of the area.

It’s in a good area walking distance to many historical places you would want to visit in the area . It’s got good food in the hotel, and great breakfast options . It’s got an authentic touch to it as the building itself is historical. I liked it . Might seem kind of expensive but it’s worth it

The property is beautiful but needed maintenance. Air conditioning was not adequate, bathrooms were not cleaned well, and could not figure out how to operate the TV. We had no hot water in the bathroom plus the shower head was broken. It's a shame cause it could have been a nice hotel with basic maintenance.

Good but needs more.

Wonderful hotel with historic theme of Urfa. The building is looking old and in need of more care and maintenance. I didn’t like the beds. They were not the quality of 5 stars at all. The mini bar was empty with only one bottles of water. My stay was in winter the room didn’t get warm enough at night.

Interesting place

The hotel looks amazing from the outside and the reception area but it is obviously very old which is fine but they need to do some updates. My mattress and pillows were very uncomfortable. Definitely need to update those. The WiFi there is horrible. If you can get on you will get kicked off in no time at all. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food at the breakfast buffet was delicious. I looked forward every morning to eating. The hotel was very clean and practicing all the extra cleanliness and safety measures due to COVID. Because of that, I could not use their beautiful indoor pool which is why I booked a room with them in the first place. The place would really be amazing if they would get some decent WiFi and some furniture updates in the rooms.

Center of Sanliurfa

Great location to explore central Sanliurfa. Room service did mix up my order three times during my stay but considering restaurants were not open I didn't have many options.

Historic hotel, very centrally located. Comfortable bed and pillows. Good breakfast buffet. I left something in my room after checking out. We called when we got home, and the staff promptly mailed it back to us. Thank you!

Nicht noch einmal

Ich habe das Hotel wegen der Lage gewählt. Das Zimmer ist ok, aber die Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht. Auf meinen Hinweis wurde gesagt, ich solle das Fenster öffnen, nachts werde es kühl. Das stimmt, leider ist es aber auch sehr (!) laut. Das Frühstück ist schlecht. Keine gute Auswahl, die Kaffeemaschine funktionierte schlecht und der Tee war gerade alle. Alles musste man sagen. Dann lieber auswärts essen. Sehr freundlich war der Parkservice.
