We spent two nights at this hotel in Sanliurfa. We had two rooms and enjoyed them very much. The staff is excellent and very helpful. Our rooms were upstairs and we climbed stairs to get tho them (no lift), which was fine for us, but would be difficult for someone with mobility issues. There is no parking on site, but there is a car park quite close to the hotel. Only about 5 minute walk to the bazaar and ten minute walk to Balikligol.

They need to get some new towels.

The history and architecture of the building and room. The host was so friendly and personable, and gave me a tour of the place explaining the history. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Breakfast was outstanding, especially the eggs. I would definitely stay here again.

The structure is not very accessible for the rooms in the second floor. There are stairs to arrive there.

Room very large, confortable and cleaned. Staff very professional and kind. The structure is historical and fascinating, immersed in the heart of Sanliurfa. Quality of the food was good.

A remarkably airy, calm and beautiful space in the heart of the old city. Spacious, tastefully furnished deluxe rooms organized around two connecting open air courts - including gentle fountain and pomegranate tree. Abundant and varied Turkish breakfasts. Really a very pleasant and safe-feeling place to stay - offering a decidedly local and personal experience without sacrificing modern comforts and discretion. The owner was more than generous with her time and advice, and all staff showed great patience as we sought common platforms of communication in this multicultural, multi religion, multi language city.

while the hote itself is gorgeous (some sort of old armenian monastery the owner renovated beautifully), the highlight of our stay was the staff!! Fatim and Mustafah (sorry if i write your names wrong) were the best! all the time caring for us, tea, coffee and food anytime of the day, and helpful advices for our daily plans. Thank you so much!

WiFi is spotty at times, but not a big trouble.

Tessera is a classy, charming oasis at the heart of Urfa. Staff goes above and beyond to deliver, while the rooms connect you to Urfa's ancient past.

Nothing, the place was excellent.

Tessera Hotel was a very neat place. The owner was kind enough to tour me around the facility and share a bit of the history of the place. She was very accommodating and really strive to ensure I enjoyed my stay. My thanks go to her. Also she and her staff were able to put me in touch with a local guide named Ridvan who was a very solid guy with lots of knowledge of the local history and Mesopotamian highlights of this part of the world. I highly recommend reaching out to the owner to put you in touch.

Everything was great!

This is a charming heritage hotel with very welcoming and helpful proprietors & staff. The breakfast was excellent! The hotel location was great - walkable to historic sites such as the Balikli Göl pool, Mevlid-I Halil Mosque, Abraham's Cave, and the Göbekli Tepe & Mosaic museums as well as restaurants and bazaars. Drove to Göbekli Tepe archaeological site - absolutely breathtaking! Very nice stay, would definitely return!

No elevator at the hotel, so people with mobility issues should request for rooms on the lower floor. No issues with the luggage though as the staff would bring them to the room.

Charming new hotel that used to be an Armenian Catholic monastery. Room was clean, spacious and had high ceilings. I was upgraded to a suite and the bathroom had ample countertop space. Service by the manager, Ali, and his team was impeccable. When I wanted to tip the staff for helping with my luggage, he initially refused, and only accepted after I insisted -- the only other place I experienced this was in Japan, which is world-renowned for their hospitality standards. Breakfast was delicious and there was often too much food! The resident kitties were also a delight to have around. Ali also arranged a private tour to visit Gobeklitepe, Karrahantepe and Harran at a reasonable price. I recommend requesting for our guide, Riduan, who spoke fluent English and in addition to guiding at the above attractions, provided great ideas for a more authentic local experience. He introduced us to the local 15th century Bazaar (which is miles more authentic than the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul) and patronized by locals. This Bazaar is incidentally only about 10-mins walk away from the hotel. You could actually see the blacksmiths live in action at work making iron stakes and carpenters crafting furniture. Riduan also brought us to a great local restaurant that was the gastronomic highlight of our trip both in terms of taste and value (and I say this after having gone through Istanbul and Antalya previously).

Nothing at all. The early morning call to prayer from nearby mosques is quite loud but atmospheric - use earplugs if you want to sleep in!

Amazing boutique hotel. Very convenient location - easy walk to all the sights. Easy parking nearby in spacious lot and with help with baggage. Most comfortable beds in Turkey so far! Very friendly and helpful staff. Special mention to Ali who we dealt with most, and the delightful lady owner. Great breakfast. Highly recommended.

A bubble of luxury in the crowded old city. The staff went out of their way to make us comfortable, especially Ali who has amazing English. The breakfast was fabulous.

I would have given 10 out of 10 but for the bull s*** there was no coffee in the room, the pool was a bird bath. Tell the truth and get higher marks

The atmosphere, the room was magic

the hotel and staff

Stayed in October 2022

Room was a bit small (but very atmospheric - the building is a converted Armenian monastery).

Lovely courtyard, roof terrace looking directly down on the Ulu Camii mosque. At the end of a tiring day, it was great to sit on the terrace with a cold beer and watch the sunset. (And in almost-dry Sanliurfa, getting a beer at all was a pleasant surprise.)

Nothing.

The hotel is absolutely wonderful! It is spotless clean and in walking distance of all main tourist attractions. The breakfast is the best turkish breakfast I've tasted in two years living in Turkey and visiting several other times during the past twenty years. The staff is very accommodating, so nice and helpful! We loved this hotel and we will be very happy to return in a near future.
