Zincirlihan Hotel — Hotel in Efeler

The Fibar Hotel Zincirlihan Is an ancient caravanserai converted to a modern hotel in a sympathetic way. The rooms that would have accommodated guests over the centuries continue to do so, but now with ensuite shower rooms with good quality toiletries, plenty of hot water and soft towels. |There is a lot of restored dark wood in the furniture and panelling, but the room felt warm and welcoming and not austere. Beds are comfortable and the air conditioning / heaters worked well. Some rooms are on 2 floors with a mezzanine upper level bed.|Turkish breakfast was typical plated food, but the setting is special. The central area of the han (caravanserai) where animals would have stayed in the past is now a cobbled courtyard with well spaced tables. There is also space under the raised walkway around the walls which give shade or rain protection.|Fibar Hotel Zincirlihan is in central Aydın with parking directly off a main street. Restaurants shops and tourist sites are within easy walking distance. |This is a han which continues to offer convenient, safe, friendly,...

A lovely hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very thoughtful renovation of an old dilapidated caravansary. The bathrooms although new, are to be upgraded as although they look wonderful, the electric shower was a problem and the shower leaked. The towel ring fell off the wall and the electric cable conduit for the shower had been stuck to the wall and was now coming unstuck. |There was some lovely Tulum cheese for breakfast. But why toast? We have lived in Turkey and travelled in Turkey for over 30 years. Every hotel and pansyon breakfast used to have lovely fresh bread straight from the bakery. But in this trip every hotel we stayed in provided toast for breakfast. Why? At least give guests a choice between fresh bread and toast. |We stayed on a Monday night and on Tuesday morning there was a fantastic fruit and vegetable market just next to the hotel. I don't know if it's there any other day of the week. |Despite the bathroom, I would highly recommend...

What a lovely place! Build in an old caravanserai it offers true Ottoman experience. Enjoying a Turkish breakfast in the the ancient arched courtyard has something magical and out of time. Lazy afternoon teas (with delicious pastries you have to try) to the sound of very tasteful and relaxing traditional music is a haven of peace in this busy Turkish city. The bedroom, repurposed cells, are simple yet very comfortable. Staff is very helpful and smiling. If it wasn't for our Turkish friend who booked the hotel for us we probably wouldn't have found this amazing place and it would have been a real miss. I do highly recommend if you're looking for a truly unique Turkish experience far from the aseptic corporate aesthetics of your usual chain hotel.|Oh! Just a word on their restaurant! Absolutely gorgeous Turkish food is served there for lunch and dinner, fresh, tasty,...
