Tokat Dedeman

Central Anatolia


The Dedeman arrived in town in 2017 and is by far the most comfortable place to sleep in Tokat. It's incredibly good value with spacious, contemporary rooms, a vast breakfast buffet, lobby bar, pool and gym. The only downside is that it's riverside, a 3km (flat) walk into the centre. Room rates are often cheaper if business is quiet.
