Selvili Köşk

Top choice in Safranbolu


From the engraved banisters to the carved ceilings, this welcoming hotel, run by Hakan and Nihal, offers a step-back-in-time experience for lovers of ambience over amenities. Dazzling carpets cover every inch of floor and are layered over the sedirs (low bench seats), while local embroidered linens grace the beds in sun-drenched rooms.

Grab Room 6 for a true Ottoman mansion experience with its wooden cupboard panelling running across the walls. Note that this room comes with a gusülhane (cupboard bathroom) so the less agile may want to give it a miss.
