Samos Otel

Adıyaman


At this central, family-owned hotel, generously proportioned rooms are outfitted in a business-minimalist style with a handful of grandma-chintz artificial flowers and sparkly bed covers thrown in to make you smile. This is a super-friendly Adıyaman choice with staff that do their best to help. Taxi tours to Nemrut Dağı (Mt Nemrut) can be arranged here.

Front-facing rooms suffer from traffic noise so ask for a back room if you're a light sleeper. There's a small pool open during the summer months.
