Hotel Elvan

Bah – who needs boutique style when you have pensions like the Elvan, where Hasan and family dish out oodles of homespun hospitality. Set around an internal courtyard brimming with colourful pot plants, the standard rooms are sparkling clean and bright. On the ground floor, stone-arch deluxe rooms have snazzy onyx-stone bathrooms and TVs.
