Otel Mütevelli

Central Anatolia


This modern mid-rise does a buzzing trade with Turks in town on business and its popularity is well-earned. Bright rooms come with good amenities (including plenty of English channels on the TVs, kettles and good-sized, contemporary bathrooms), the breakfast spread is top-notch and the location – just steps away from Nasrullah Meydanı – can't be beaten.
