Gunes Konak Otel Safranbolu

I absolutely loved everything about this place! It exceeded my expectations in every way possible. From the time we arrived we were greeted by friendly faces and amazing hospitality. We were shown to our room and were told that tea is served at 6pm in the tea room. Our room was the cutest little room with big windows and tons of natural light, which opened up to the most amazing view of the little village! It's on a hill so the view is absolutely breathtaking. We remove our shoes before entering (which I loved, so clean and hygienic!) and keep them in a shoe rack, there are new hotel slippers provided in the room if you don't want to walk around barefoot. The place was immaculate, neat, clean and tidy, the bathroom is very clean and modern and the flowers were such a nice touch! The place is new so everything is really lovely, although I did see the old hotel as well and it's just as nice. We enjoyed our teatime in the tearoom, served with the most delicious cake and biscuits, and the friendliest cat to keep us company! The hosts are very warm and hospitable and treated us like family. There was a balcony outside our room with the same spectacular view which we enjoyed at night too. We asked for a good restaurant and were directed down the road, just a few mins walk away. Tuzcuhan restaurant was lovely as well, and it was located a short walk down the road, also at the entrance of the little market. There is also a masjid (mosque) here which my husband was thrilled about. We strolled through the market and bought little trinkets and some safron, had supper at Tuzcuhan, prayed in the masjid and then made our way back to Gunes Konak Otel. Breakfast in the morning was an absolute treat! We were served the most delicious breakfast of simit, a basket of fresh bread, a variety of cheeses, jams and marmalades (the rose jam is amazing!

I regret only spending 1 night here, really wished we booked 2 nights as this place was absolutely gorgeous!

Location, view, breakfast, host

Nothing given that it is located in an ancient town with narrow, steep streets and guests have to understand those challenges

Very close to town and food was really great. Owner is very friendly and accommodative. View and property are outstanding.

Great location. Great view across the town. Wonderful breakfast and friendly hosts.

Everything was fine! Eating wonderful breakfast outside on the terrace was amasing. Kind service.

Nothing to complain.

The property owner is very hospitable, he pick up us at the bus terminal and send us back. Home made breakfast is various and delicious. I love the balcony very much, whatever the room or balcony can access the beautiful view of safranbolu

Nothing

Very clean. It’s a family run place, so it had a homey feel. The owner was easy to contact on WhatsApp. He was kind enough to pick us up at 2:30am in his own car. View was beautiful and breakfast made by the family was excellent. He also dropped us off at the bus station at 6:30am. Would stay here again.

First the location overlooking the valley (the view!)while being easily accessible; the beautifully renovated building; the tastefully arranged bed room with the surprise of a complete modern bathroom hidden behind a wooden closet; the superb breakfasts; the friendliness of the owner and his staff (and even of the cat!), who went out of his way, offering to drive me in and out to the long-distance bus station; all this made me forget that the weather wasn’t the best!

Nothing.

It’s nice, and the view is fantastic. You could see the nearby mountain. Also, the old city is very nearby, just a few minutes walking distance.

Mr Murat (the owner) and his family took good care of us throughout our whole stay! Good communication to ensure we safely arrived at Safranbolu bus station and picked us up from there to his guest house for free! The rooms were so comfortable, clean bathroom with good hot water and pressure, the homemade breakfast was so amazing, the facilities are well maintained and free flow of tea at their kitchen/ pantry. The location was perfect which was just 5 min walk downhill to the the Cinci Han area. Safranbolu was so calm and not crowded, and having stayed at Mr Murat’s guest house made our trip so memorable. We definitely enjoyed our stay here.

Nothing. Seriously.
