Hanem Hotel

Top choice in Southeastern Anatolia


By far the nicest place to bed down in central Malatya. Spacious rooms come with colourful art and fittings, tea/coffee equipment, and modern bathrooms with large showers and plenty of toiletries. There's also a bar, professional staff and an in-house restaurant. Although in the heart of downtown, the hotel's located on a shopping street that is quiet after dark.
