Cakiroglu Konak

A well restored and comfortable otel in an excellent location. All the basics were available and the garden was beautiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was pretty standard Turkish style (which is not a bad thing).

This is a 200-year-old house which the current owner inherited from his father and grandfather. It's absolutely beautiful and allows you to enjoy the "real" Safranbolu. Though the bathroom is a little basic, everything is clean and well appointed. WiFi was excellent. The owner and staff are what made our stay perfect. We were constantly treated to cay, Safranbolu soda, and lovely conversation about Turkish music. A real treat.

Our hotel was a 200 years old "konak" (old house, residence). It was right in the center of the old town of Safranbolu so we were able to walk around and shop from different type of markets. Since it is an old residence, there are only 10 rooms. But you'll find all the basics: hot water, the perfect white sheets (i was really impressed), very good wi-fi (we were able to watch "Walking Dead" streaming), satellite TV, very modest but very nice breakfast. The only thing that one can be bothered is the size of the bathroom. It is pretty small. But other than that, everything is great. And the price is very impressive - especially if you are visiting from big cities (where everything is overly priced :)) Thumbs up!
