My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Emirhan Guest House. The staff were lovely people and so welcoming from start to finish. It was also one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed. The location was a perfect base for exploring the old city, with many sights within easy walking distance while being away from the noise of the main streets. In the evenings and early mornings we sat on the balcony listening to the birds in the trees of the beautiful mosque next door. Lots of shops and restaurants are also nearby. Really convenient and just a lovely experience. Thank you for having us!
