Ayşenaz Hanım Konağı

The village sits high above the road, so cycling up to it is a real climb. The views along the way are great, though, and from the bar and terrace you can look out over the area. The historic village is interesting too, with some buildings restored and many still in ruins. I found the food tasty, but a little expensive. Salads and vegetables were charged extra, which I hadn't realized when ordering. I didn't mind in the end because everything was good, but check the menu first. A can of Efes cost 200tl, the most I paid anywhere on my cycling tour through Aksei, Şeydisehir, Beysehir and the other stops. I stayed here overnight while on a cycling tour and had a lovely time. The hosts were friendly and spoke English and German, which helped with my limited Turkish. My room was large and very clean, with a strip of tape over the toilet to show it had been cleaned. There was plenty of hot water, and the bed was comfortable, so I slept well. Breakfast was included, plentiful, and really tasty. It was my first time having filled pişi, and the fried eggs cooked in about an inch of butter were just what I needed before cycling 100km to Beysehir. Despite the cost, I had a great stay and would go again.

The restaurant and bar have lovely sunset views, and the food is freshly cooked, simple, local, and delicious. I found the place very relaxing. In this old Silk Road village, spending a night among the ruined buildings lets you enjoy the quiet and beauty of the Taurus mountains. The restored hotel has carved wood details, and the bedrooms keep their original style.

I can't recommend this dirty, neglected hotel. The staff were completely inadequate, and the whole experience felt very shady. The price quoted over the phone was much lower than what I was charged on arrival. They kept the money, and even after I asked, they wouldn't provide an invoice. I also left my AirPods in the room. The operator, Mr. Kavasoğlu, tried to scam me over the shipping, then threatened and insulted me. Thank God I have friends in Turkey who were able to help. Never again!

A really nice place to unwind. The service is excellent, and the host does everything to make you feel comfortable.
