Babil Antique Hotel

It’s a nice place inside a medium age neighborhood. If you like to experience the old town neighborhoods it’s ok as there are different options at similar prices in the newer part of the city. The rooms at ok but not great. The staff will always offer you free coffee or tea while you are at the patio. Breakfasts are really good. There was something that i didn’t like and it was when we made the checkout at 11am and needed to wait until 12:30: on that time, my mother needed the bathroom but the only bathrooms at the patio are Turkish bath with just the hole in the ground. They said that’s the only bathroom she could use and didn’t offer a normal bathroom for her. She didn’t go obviously and had to wait until we got to the airport for using a normal bathroom. They should have offered any of the room bathrooms (there were any new guests at the hotel until we left it) as most international guests don’t use the Turkish style bathrooms. That made me really mad about the hotel.

This gorgeous small boutique hotel is located down some narrow winding streets in the center of Sanliurfa - my driver couldn’t even make it - had to walk a bit. But don’t be alarmed - my room was beautifully carved out of a cave, every amenity you could want, extremely comfortable, stunningly decorated in Turkish style. It adjoins a beautiful central patio. A full Turkish breakfast comes with the room, and the staff is very kind and attentive. English is not well understood but with a phone translate app my every request was handled beautifully. Prices are very reasonable in USD. A real find - I highly recommend it.

We loved our stay in Babil Antique hotel. Both owner and employees are very friendly. The hotel is located in the heart of old Urfa city. Very close by museums, historical Bazaar, Balıklıgöl and Kızılkoyun Roman stone graveyards (visit them in the evening) The breakfast was delicious. And The rooms were lovely. Highly recommended
