Astarte Hotel

A very lovely family-driven hotel with the kindest staff that will help you with every problem or need you might have and they are always open for a chat. Nice clean facilities in beautiful old historical buildings, delicious and filling breakfast, and a good central location near the centre to e.g. Balıklıgöl and other tourist spots - as well as good parking conditions just outside the hotel, in case you travel by car. Thank you for a lovely stay! I will definitely come back if I find myself back in that region again. :)

It is a wonderful hotel that offers modern, clean and high quality service intertwined with history in urfa, the oldest temple in the world and the place where the people of edessa first accepted Christianity. This hotel, which is only 5 minutes away from the historical fish lake, will make you happy.

If you're in Urfa as a tourist, this hotel is very close to the museums and the bus that'll take you to Gobekli Tepe. Other places offer that though, another good reason to stay is the amazing staff and splendid rooms. The man who owns it (I think) took a 500-year-old Armenian mansion on a quiet side-street and turned it into a lovely boutique hotel with the softest beds and hottest shower I've had during a month in Turkey. He's also an archaeologist and told me a lot about the local sights, some of which he helped excavate. Two women seemed to be managing the day-to-day stuff and we had some wonderful conversations via google translate and they were absolute sweethearts. I stayed during the low season, late November, and was given a generous discount and the free breakfast could have fed five people. It's also close to the only restaurant around where you can order alcohol which is incredibly difficult to find in this religiously conservative city. When I returned from a wonderful meal there, I found the staff hanging out in the common room having drinks and popcorn while watching Netflix and they had me join in like I was one of their family. Lastly, for some reason I had the most vivid and amazing dreams during my two-night stay. The ground below the hotel has things far more ancient than the mansion itself, and something about that affected me, I think. Astarte was an ancient and powerful goddess worshipped by many cultures and this place embodies her spirit.
