This mansion is the perfect place to spend a few nights in, especially if you want to immerse yourself in one of the things that Safranbolu is known for - Ottoman era houses and architecture. It has been loving restored by the owners. Beautiful textiles, historical decorative pieces, weathered antique furniture with stories - no detail is out of place. If you love history, it will feel like you have been transported to the past. Every corner is like a photograph. But a home is truly alive because of the people in it. And the host, Sevgi Hanim, is the heart of this mansion. She is such a lovely person, our stay was so much more special because of her. Also, the delicious Turkish breakfast that she prepared every morning kept me full until dinner. We miss her warm smile already! Some other things to note: the rooms are very clean and well maintained. Depending on which room you get, you might have to share a bathroom. But it is not a problem at all. The mansion is located on a quiet street, yet is is within walking distance to a lot of the major sites in Safranbolu. Markets, eateries, they are within easy reach. We were lucky to spend 3 nights here in October, soaking in the historical atmosphere of Safranbolu. If I ever get a chance to visit this beautiful town again, I know where to stay.

The place is like from fairy-tale : authentic house with million of charming details, clean cozy room, very caring staff , very tasty breakfast especially the jams.

It is not allowed to walk in the street shoes inside the building , the owner offers hotel’s slippers but they are multi-use ones, it would have been better to provide individual ones.

It was nice to have a room where you could feel the old atmosphere of the tranquil Shafranbolu. I appreciated the hospitality of the female owner and would definitely stay at this hotel again if I were in the area in the future.

Traditional house with a great atmosphere. Close to the old town with a peaceful garden where roamed cute cats. The owner is very nice and helpful.

Nice experience in this Ottoman House. Host super nice and very good location. Delicious and homemade breakfast.

The room was a little bit dusty, not recommended for people with allergies.

Breakfast was amazing and they made jam themselves. Testing was delicious..

Everything was perfect. There is no any bad station.

Traditional decorations, very nice house keeper, tidy room, fresh breakfast

poor Wi-Fi signal on the top floor

Nothing. We’ve traveled to over 30 countries and are not picky or critical people. The photos are completely photoshopped and comments are utterly false. Our reception was cold if not rude. The “executive double room” was tiny. We walked sideways to get around the bed. Same for the bathroom. The carpet on the stairs was coming loose-a real falls hazard.

There was no drinking water or drinking glasses. No toiletries. We can easily live without a TV, in-room coffee or tea and mini bar but there was absolutely nothing to make our stay pleasant including the host. It was dark and cold. No heat in the room. The towels were in a bag in the closet, none in the bathroom. The outside area was neglected and overgrown. No place to sit either inside or outside. Gloomy and depressing. DO NOT BELIEVE THE PHOTOS OR REVIEWS! We booked for two night but left early after the first night without breakfast.
