“A quiet room facing the Vezirli Han courtyard struck me as a real find in this location. The convenience of a sink within the room, despite shared bathrooms, is a thoughtful touch. For the price, and given its cleanliness and helpful staff, I'd say it delivers excellent value right in the heart of the old town.”
