Arslanli Konak Hotel

The staff was professional and friendly. My wife handled the communication in Turkish so I honestly don't know about English or other languages, but everyone was very helpful and accommodating. The hotel is located in an area of many cafes, restaurants and historic points of interest. Even being in such an active area, we found that the room was quiet at night.

While the public areas of the hotel are very nice, our room was showing some wear and tear - carpets are ready to be replaced and wallpaper peeling off. The WIFI was somewhat weak but didn't cause any real problems as I was able to do my online consulting work. Also there was quite a high climb to get into / out of the tub which might be challenging for some. All in all, a very nice stay.

This was probably the most generous hotel I stayed at in Turkey. Free water was provided. :). Breakfast was sumptuous. I took a tram from Bus station which stopped few minutes walk from the hotel. Atatürk Lisesi is the stop. This was very simple and google maps helps with walking direction. So I managed - no one spoke in English to help. The place is in beautiful neighborhood - quiet and serene and covers the old village well. You can walk downhill 30 minutes all the way to the river flowing to see other side town - the university and modern dwelling. You will see monuments and alladin cafe where loacals have tea! You can sit next to river in evening and have a beer :). One evening is enough to get a feel of the town unless you want to relax. Room was clean and big for single occupancy room. I could even do yoga in morning :). That spacious. All amenities are provided in room. Ample of blankets and what not! Very pretty . Staff spoke basic English .

Noise level .. room being right next to street on first floor. I could hear people talking at night. But it is not a party part of city so eventually it will be quiet. Though in morning you would hear cars passing. If a light sleeper FYI. I did sleep peacefully. WiFi requires passport info.
