Safranbolu is a tiny spot, Gulevi is by far the most well-known up-market hotel for expats. The price for a stay was too high, in my opinion, but I don't think it will be lowered due to the positive reviews and reputation they have established. Our room was beautiful but very simple, nowhere near being soundproofed (door paper thin -... More

I worked with Gul and Ibrahim, the wonderful owners of Gulevi, to set up a surprise weekend away for my partner's birthday. They stocked our room with flowers, chocolates, and wine prior to our arrival, and they called ahead to a restaurant in town to set up a wonderful birthday dinner for us. The breakfast was fantastic, and Gul and... More

We like to stay every summer at Gul Evi on our way to Evrenye. Best service quality, excellent breakfast, great bed for a good night sleep. Choose the rooms in the second house for a quite morning sleep. Gul Hanim will give you the best advices for selecting the best restaurants or shopping addresses. Enjoy the garden while having a...

We arrived on a sizzling hot july day and entered into a cool heaven where everything has been designed just right. The 19th century Ottoman mansions that make up this boutique hotel are restored in such a way that the original buildings are are not "modernized" by partitioning or adding modern conveniences but thoughtfully integrating necessities such as bathrooms and...

This hotel is a hidden jewel. We planned to stay just one night on a long drive, but the owners are so friendly and the atmosphere so great that we stayed a second night - would have stayed longer if we had the chance. The hotel is a little deceiving because it is actually two restored Ottoman mansions behind each... More

I actually visited the hotel in September 2008 (the menu no longer allows that date), but the memory of this beautiful, peaceful, traditional, tasteful and painstakingly restored Ottoman house and its idyllic garden and separate dining room has remained vivid. The owners were extremely helpful to us, despite our asking complex questions about the area. The breakfasts were a delight.... More

It is the place where the historical past talks to you. Owners, family Canbulat, with their architectural knowledge, have made all in order to restore the history as it was. The warm reception and hospitableness of the family transform this cosy historical hotel into your own house. This oldest small town of historical architecture really needs to be preserved and...
