“Great spot. Great place.”
+Great place. Quiet and comfortable, with excellent service. They also helped to arrange a guide for us to Gobeklitepe and Karahantepe. Definitely make the short walk to Balikligol. Amazing spot, also with nice restaurants. 100% recommend.

+A gem in the middle of Urfa. Very welcoming, very clean. The staff went out of their way to look after guests and were very helpful in booking a tour. A beautiful setting in an old monastery complex well looked after.

“Perfect retreat”
+A lovely authentic retreat, in a perfect location close to all the hustle and bustle of daily city life. This place will be recorded on my must revisit list. The staff are so attentive and the owner is fabulous. I felt really well taken care of and given privacy as needed. 5 stars all the way. I know people mainly visit this area for the historical sites and pass by quickly but I would definitely recommend a longer stay to get a feel of a real working city that’s lacking in the resort towns.
−Nothing not to like but if I had to add something, a dinner option would be nice but no big deal since there’s plenty of excellent eating places nearby.

“Very comfortable and pleasant.”

−That it doesn’t have a restaurant. Only that.

+One of the best hotels to stay in Şanlıurfa. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help whenever we needed anything. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms were clean, cozy, and comfortable, and the breakfast was very good with plenty of options. What made our stay especially memorable was the hospitality of the staff. They not only assisted us with every request but also shared interesting information about the building and the history of Şanlıurfa, which added a special touch to our visit.

“Excellent boutique hotel in a 600 year old monastery building”
+We spent three nights at this fantastic boutique hotel. The hotel is actually in an old monastery, and the building is about 600 years old. They did a fantastic job in restoring the monastery, and the rooms were very comfortable, clean, while retaining the original architecture. The hotel is in the old part of the town, within walking distance of the bazaar and several important sites. It is extremely quiet at night. The staff is excellent, always eager to help. The breakfast was amazing, the amount of food they brought out literally covered the entire surface of the large table. We will certainly return.

“Excellent experience from start to finish!”
+Exquisite hotel - outstanding staff, amazing breakfast, impeccably clean. Extraordinarily helpful in arranging transportation to various sites including Gobeklitepe. So glad we stayed here and can’t recommend it highly enough!

“I would not hesitate to stay here again and to recommend Tessera Hotel to my friends.”
+This is a charming older Hotel with stone walls and decorative façade. I liked it immediately. The bathroom area with shower was modern and comfortable with plenty of hot water. A generous traditional Turkish breakfast was provided every morning and the staff could not have been kinder or more helpful. Fati and Hella were both very attentive, and in particular, Hella was worth her weight in gold. She went out of her way to help us find taxis, buses, stores and museums. She was professional but also genuinely kind and made it a pleasure to stay there. When our flight got cancelled she was especially helpful.
−Only that the internet was sometimes spotty. We were here during a snow storm.

“Not nice.”
−NO I WILL ABSOLUTE NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL fOR LONGER STAY than one night. The bathroom smelled. I had the room with the balcony. 1st floor. But unfortunately I have kept the door of the bathroom always closed. The smell of the sewerage was not nice. And I payed 100,- euro per night. Than there was a door for the staff downstairs, delivering supplies direct under my room. The corridor. This door slammed every 5 minutes. So I said something about it. 10 minutes it wend fine and than the door slammed the whole 4 days of my stay. I booked for 4 nights. It was bad weather. 14C instead of the 20C it supposed to be. I asked the reception man / boy for extra blanket. I got it 2 days later. And I got it when I arrived late in my hotel at 22 hr in the evening. So first 2 nights I had it very cold. Than I wanted to book a tour to Nemrut Dagi. A tour what take 3hrs to Nemrut Dagi and 3 hrs back. And I explicite said to the girl of the reception I want to go on Friday. Can you say that to the tour operator. Well what do you think? Tour was booked on Sunday, And Sunday the tour was cancelled because of the minimum amount of people was not reached. So wrong date (Friday) fault of receptionist a
