Gunes Konak Otel Safranbolu

The location is excellent, just a short walk into the city, and the hospitality is very welcoming. The owner picked us up from the bus station and took us back. Breakfast is over-the-top good and ample - It was something we looked forward to every morning. Very relaxing setting with great views over the city. Be aware that the owner has opened a new unit next door called the Manzara Konak. The rooms are newer than in the older building where we stayed and there are balconies. I wasn’t‘t aware they were available when I booked but I would have paid a little more for one of them. Our room was fine - spacious and with a modern shower and toilet - in the older house across the street -apparently 250 years old. Very quiet either way you decide to go.

Reviewed: April 19, 2024 The best place you will ever stay at 10 Scored 10 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!
