I stayed in this hotel in summer 2010, and this hotel is definitely one of my most memoriable stays during my whole trip in Turkey! The room was very well renovated in old ottoman style, with lots of lovely cushion, bench, decor, and the fragrance of wood~ The bed is huge and comfortable~ Through the window, I got a nice... More

Gulevi is a beautifully restaured Ottoman mansion, the rooms are lovely and feel very authentic but have a modern bathroom (inside a built-in cupboard!), wifi and everything else you might need. The attention to detail is wonderful, there were flowers in the room and we were welcomed with home-made cherry juice and Turkish delight. The garden is beautiful, I can't... More

Safranbolu is a tiny spot, Gulevi is by far the most well-known up-market hotel for expats. The price for a stay was too high, in my opinion, but I don't think it will be lowered due to the positive reviews and reputation they have established. Our room was beautiful but very simple, nowhere near being soundproofed (door paper thin -... More

I worked with Gul and Ibrahim, the wonderful owners of Gulevi, to set up a surprise weekend away for my partner's birthday. They stocked our room with flowers, chocolates, and wine prior to our arrival, and they called ahead to a restaurant in town to set up a wonderful birthday dinner for us. The breakfast was fantastic, and Gul and... More

We arrived on a sizzling hot july day and entered into a cool heaven where everything has been designed just right. The 19th century Ottoman mansions that make up this boutique hotel are restored in such a way that the original buildings are are not "modernized" by partitioning or adding modern conveniences but thoughtfully integrating necessities such as bathrooms and...

This hotel is a hidden jewel. We planned to stay just one night on a long drive, but the owners are so friendly and the atmosphere so great that we stayed a second night - would have stayed longer if we had the chance. The hotel is a little deceiving because it is actually two restored Ottoman mansions behind each... More

I actually visited the hotel in September 2008 (the menu no longer allows that date), but the memory of this beautiful, peaceful, traditional, tasteful and painstakingly restored Ottoman house and its idyllic garden and separate dining room has remained vivid. The owners were extremely helpful to us, despite our asking complex questions about the area. The breakfasts were a delight.... More
