Hotel Guven

The hotel has old-fashioned furnishings, and breakfast was pretty weak. The WiFi in our room didn't work either. The receptionist didn't speak English. When we asked for a taxi, he took us out back to a car and drove us himself, then asked for about 10 TL more than a taxi would have cost.

I was pleased with how clean the hotel was and how close it is to the city center. I stayed two nights, but I won't return because of what happened when a relative and colleague came to visit me. He is an older person, and we met at reception. An employee told me I had to pay for another room. I explained that my friend would only stay for about an hour, but the employee didn't understand and spoke to me in a provocative way. I ended up paying for a room that nobody used. When I was leaving, I spoke to a man named Mohammed and asked to speak with the manager. I said I was upset and felt the behavior wasn't legal, and that I would wait for the manager to take some initiative. I believe the hotel's owner wouldn't accept this kind of behavior. I didn't want to discuss it here, but I couldn't find the owner's number to contact him.

The hotel is quiet and the staff are kind. It's very close to both the old and new markets. Most things were good to very good, though the breakfast didn't suit me and my family.

Right in the center of Sanliurfa city, Hotel Guven Sanliurfa has modern architecture and design. The traditional bazaar and the historical religious site Fish Lake are both within walking distance, so it's a convenient base if you want comfort in the heart of the city.
