Amasya Tashan Hotel

It depends how you define hotels and what you expect from your accommodation type. We as explorers were happy to stay in this historical, from Kervansaray converted hotel. It's not posh, luxury hotel, yes, but it has Pros: - proximity, walking distance to basically all in the city attractions and historical places to visit like the Sultan Bayezid Mosque, the Bedestan ( historical bazaar/mall ), Museum, the river side with its statues, just behind this hotel is Burmali Minare another architectural beauty with some tombs.... - You are in the city but without the noise pollution of traffic - There may be disturbance though from live music they perform in their yard, but they do switch off by midnight. - Food is good and service is friendly, - It's like a family owned and managed atmosphere - If you like hiking like us it's also closed and walking distance to the start point of a very good route leading to the top of the mountain ( Lokman Hekim is the destination and route starts from the Sports Saloon). The route has waterfall, plenty of drinking water from the wells beautiful surroundings, hazelnut trees everywhere. When you reach after 4-5 hours hiking your destination after a rest you can also visit the newly found temple called ' Buyuk Evliya Tepe 'and descent from there to the village of Yassical and take the bus back to Amasya. This route would need a full day and it's not for beginners. Reception staff is friendly and helpful with directions and attractions in this historical city
