Elmalı Mahallesi Hotels

"Everything was excellent "

"What I enjoyed the most was the people. Melisa, Reha, Yusuf, Verat, Fatih all my made 5 night stay fun and personable. I did not want to rent a car so they helped me navigate the bus and dulmus to Akdamar Island and into the City Center. I also took an afternoon in the town of Edremet and enjoyed the harbour and shops. The people were amazing and fun - taught me about the local area and a little about Kurdish culture. The room was spacious, the water hot, the view nice of the Lake. The one thing that can be improved was the mattress was a little older and soft. I didn't make a request to change rooms though as I still got good sleep. There was noise from the traffic but the view of the lake made up for that. AC was comfortable but not too cold. The MADO restaurant was delicous, great people too. I loved VAN."

"It reminds me the stories of dirty hostles in WWII... poor condition, poor bedding, dirty, primitive, horrible place to even go. If you do not believe me feel free to experience it yourself. "

"This is not a hotel!! It was a room back of a restaurant!! Bad small room, the toilet sink was very high , no view to anywhere!!. Nobody could talk English "
