Nemrut Euphrat Hotel — Hotel in Kâhta

I'm not trying to be dramatic or insulting, but in 30|years of traveling to 108 countries, this actually is the worst hotel experience I've ever had. We were in some “extra" room that was dirty and small, with flies and a birds nest in the corridor. Mostly clean room but tattered old style mattresses, chipped paint, stains, overall like a college dorm or campsite in a developing country. We ate tasty but basic dinner in the canteen. We slept. Then, when we flushed the toilet, smelly sewer water emerged from the bathroom floor and covered it. Thank God we only used the toilet in the morning, because the room stank of feces after that. After some time, I was given the key to another room so I could shower, and that room was modern, bigger, with up to date furnishings and the toilet and shower worked. It was still morning but the room was clean: I asked why we were not given this room but the other one. It was then that the manager lied to me and said (absurdly) that we were supposed to have the nice room, but since we had called for directions by phone he thought we were a new party (new booking and not the reservation via Booking.com). he said he didn't realize who we were so he was saving the nice room for the “Booking.com people who never showed up". Such an absurd lie, because he reviewed our passports. He comped the dinner (gave us the dinner for free), €24 in total,|and he gave us gifts of cheap souvenirs, but I resent|being lied to. Yes the manager and staff is polite, this is Turkey! But we were still given old, dirty room|without working toilet. Beware staying here if you get the...

Took a long winding road up Mt Nemrut to within 4 Km of the top and then down the back side of the mountain to Euphrat Nemrut Hotel and Restaurant. Truly in the middle of nowhere. Rooms are on one level and easy to get to. Good size room with a king and a twin bed. Used twin bed for luggage as no luggage racks provided. ||Room had a nice desk and two desk chairs. Unfortunately, the room only had lighting over the two beds, no desk lamp or overhead lights. There was a small refrigerator, no in-room safe. A storage cabinet contained extra blankets for the beds. The bathroom had a walk-in shower, a hair dryer and three small disks of soap, no body wash, shampoo, conditioner, or body lotion. The toilet seat and lid would not stay up. Had to hold them up. When you sat on the toilet the lid was always against your back. Since we are so far from any other restaurants our tour||group had to use this facility for dinner and breakfast. Dinner was a set price with seven different appetizers, a main meal of rice, chunks of beef in sauce and a small salad. Watermelon and a sweet for dessert. Very good although service was a little slow. Breakfast was a different deal. No fruit, no juice, and no eggs. Only offered olives, bread, jellies, couple of cold meats and cheeses, and...

I read the reviews of this hotel and they are all over the place. But we would still recommend it. First, let me say that we really appreciated the family that runs this place. The van we travelled in had a problem, and this family provided the van service up to Nemrut. Clearly, he had driven this hundreds of times, and he really saved us our itinerary and timetable. The hotel is in Nemrut national park. The facility is like a caravanserai and is so convenient. Also because it is in the mountains, it is after from earthquake. ||When we got to our room, the electricity did not work, and they called someone in to correct it. The bathroom is small and the water system did not produce much hot water. But you know what? It didn't really matter to us, after hiking up to Nemrut and everything was clean and comfortable. Second, we loved the attitude of the young men in the dining area. Such keeners, and good service. We were hungry and the chef was happy to serve us. Breakfast was a buffet of olives, cheeses eggs and bread. It was good and delicious. ||The morning sunrise is fabulous from this mountain get away. ||As an accommodation, I would rate this as a 2 star hotel, but as an experience I would rate it 5 star. This is the reason I rated it 4 stars...
