Gul Hanim House — Hotel in Lefkoşa Türk Belediyesi

I wasn’t going to review as I only give five or the one but I think this place is worthy of the five. Only two issues which I believe see will try ti fix. The main one is wifi only work part time in the yellow rose room. Not sure why it works when she was there. But the court yard and kitchen served my needs! The other is the bathroom is small in this room. I am 110kg at 69cm and it was difficult getting into the shower. If your small this probably would be ok. I would recommend the white rose bathroom as it is bigger and she already fixed that wifi besides that there about the same. Her staff doesn’t speak english but I did not have any issue communicating with them by sign language and the occasional google translator! Even helped fix the gas issue on the stove. If you cannot find thing to do in the north she will help you with your plans. If I come back I think a week would have been needed. Coming though the boarder from the south is easy and its only a ten min walk to her place, about half that time if you need a taxi. They do speak english here but it is not common. I liked the north better I find them a lot more friendly and its not as touristy and the best part...

Pleasant communication with friendly owner

N35°10.865' E33°21.841' In October 2021, we made a reservation for the romantic Rose room on the hotel’s website. TripAdvisor’s reviewers raved about the clean and renovated rooms, the local breakfast, the private courtyard and the comforting beds. The owner, former English teacher Seray Angi, does not live in the hotel but in Kyrenia. Some reviewers complained about the run-down area, poor Wi-Fi-reception and difficulty in finding the hotel (you need a GPS-capable device). Some thought the hotel was too expensive.

After studying more photos of the Rose room, it turned out that the double bed was too small. Seray gave us the dimensions of the standard double bed: 193 cm in length and 141 cm width. We found the double bed too small and after consultation, we cancelled the reservation. Seray released the reservation on our credit card.

Seray Angi is a friendly owner who respected our...

This is a very authentic little jewel in the heart of Nicosia city, it is also just a few minute walk to the border. The rooms are clean and very traditional, I stayed in the Rose room which had all the amenities I have grown to appreciate like strong water pressure, WiFi, AC, clean sheets, towels, etc.

The breakfast was one of the highlights of staying there. The jam was homemade from the owner's own garden and it was delicious, not too sweet!

I found it much cheaper and much much better to just stay in the northern side and pay a fraction of what I'd pay in the southern side, then walk over when I need to. Also I found the food in the north to authentic with great flavor. I had previously stayed at the Cleopatra in the south and had a terrible experience, their rooms were outdated and paid over 260 Euros per night, while at the Gun Hanim I had a great experience and paid a...
