2-Star Hotels in Karabuk Province, Türkiye

During our trip to the city of Sanfranbolu, we had an extraordinary lodging experience. The house, constructed of stone, was adorned with meticulous decorations throughout, reflecting the care and attention of the hostess. Breakfast was a delightful surprise in the morning, featuring homemade jams crafted from a plethora of organic ingredients, tantalizing pancakes, salads, and a variety of cheeses, all accompanied by the classic Turkish tea. What truly enhanced our stay was the enjoyable conversations with the host. Thanks to the guidance of this geology and history professor, our Turkish itinerary underwent significant revisions. Overall, it was an unforgettable accommodation experience!

We spent two nights in Safranbolu. Our first night was at the Safranbolu Seyi̇r Konak Hotel, a hotel highly regarded by Chinese tourists. How highly regarded? Well, there were four breakfast seats: one for us, one for people from Sichuan, and one for people from Shanghai. The small hotel's rooms were indeed uniquely decorated, but they also suffered from common problems in old Safranbolu buildings, such as poor soundproofing and low ceilings. Our second night was at Lady Leila's Residence. Located next to the museum, it was also in the Ottoman style, but the rooms were much larger and higher than the first hotel. Unlike the first, it provided disposable slippers. The heating was excellent. We stayed on the second floor, and from the window, we could overlook Safranbolu. This hotel was also only 300 meters from the Middle Eastern restaurant we frequented for two consecutive days. Judging from the breakfast, the two hotels offered similar variety and quality. The next day, we left the hotel to go to the station and asked the owner to help us call a taxi. The owner asked if I could use his car to take us for the same price. I said of course. I thought it was just an economy car that you see all over town, but it turned out to be a Land Rover.

It would be nonsense to come to Safranbolu and stay in a normal hotel. They restored the old mansions and turned them into hotels. There is such a hotel in Yorgancıoğlu Mansions, the rooms have been restored with woodworking, originality intact, the staff are completely family employees, they are all friendly.

The view is stunning, and the room is clean, although I was a bit disappointed because I didn’t get the room I had booked. I reserved a room with a balcony but didn’t receive one. However, it’s okay because the host is very friendly, and you won’t go hungry while staying here.

在番紅花核心區域的邊上，一個小坡旁，緊則公路，方便進出，停車友好，房間蠻新的，非百年老建築改造，唯一不足就是沒電梯。早飯夠飽，進古城一路下坡，回來可在浴室旁坐一站公交，自駕朋友很便捷。吃飯基本還是要去北面五公里的小鎮，選擇多還便宜。

Интересный отель, аутентичный. Рядом в пещерах ”...в древности жил один из величайших святителей христианства — Григорий Богослов. Вплоть до XX века в этих местах имелась греческая христианская община, однако после греко-турецкой войны в ходе обмена населением греки выехали в Грецию, а на их места были поселены турки из Салоник и Кавалы.” Завтрак хороший. Есть недочёты, например, запах канализации в санузле в нашем номере Isbar.

This is the first time such a lovely hostel is 🫶 The owner is renovating his home and running the accommodation. It was a hostel that made me want to come to Safranbolu, a small and precious town in Turkiye 🫶 It's not an honest hotel feeling, but it's like a grandfather's house where you can feel warm and comfortable 🧚🏻 The location is also the best to explore Safranbolu!

Hotel aunt is very warm, the location of the hotel is very convenient, go out is the ancient city. The disadvantage is that the room has no air conditioning and the indoor space is relatively small.
