This is the cosiest, cutest B&B in a great location. But what made it exemplary was the phenomenal service. The staff was absolutely amazing, helping us in every way possible. When we asked about tours in Antakya and heard the price it was for a private tour (our of our price range), they worked with us to provide a more... More

The Liwan hotel is a cute looking old building. It is very central. Many rooms including ours faces the courtyard/terrace which is turned into the hotels restaurant. Our two windows faced this courtyard. Unfortunately they have turned the courtyard/terrace into a room and covered it with glass windows and they let people smoke during dinner. So the only air source... More

We stayed during Christmas holiday for one week with our grown children. The charm and the authenticity of this place made us ignore the minor inconveniences.The dining area is a beautiful courtyard that is covered during the winter, the location is the strongest suit this hotel has, it is a walking distance from the restaurants, shopping and the grand covered...

The hotel is well designed boutique hotel. The room was smaller then expected. The heating system was not enough to heat such a high ceilinged room. The room was surrounded by windows. They offered us another room for the 2nd day. It was hotter but the cealing was very low :), it was on the roof. The location was in... More

Don't expect much. Pros: -central location -friendly staff -clean rooms Cons: -music at the bar in the weekend is not good for sleep -rooms smaller than expected and no carpet on the floor -heating is not effective in December weather. The room was cold all night -breakfast was not satisfactory Personel cana yakın ve müşteriyi memnun etme kaygısı var. Şansımıza... More

We stayed in the Liwan for a couple of nights and found that it enriched our stay in Antakya. It breathes an authentic atmosphere, has professional staff that speaks English, has a good breakfast and excellent location. The rooms were clean. The breakfast area/restaurant is in a stylish covered courtyard. More

Though the entrance looks rather unpromising, the conversion from mansion of the Syrian consul to hotel was well done, as the hotel maintains period features in the common areas, rooms and restaurant whilst having freshly furnished rooms. However, as it seems the case for such conversions in Turkey, rooms are quite small. Breakfast was OK but I missed fruit juice,... More

Within walking distance of the archeological museum and various churches with St Pierre's church a taxi ride up the hill. This hotel has its own small people mover so can collect you from the airport and take you to out-of-the-way castles and caves. Our room was large and breakfast was good (ask for the omelette or miss out ). Staff... More

I have become wary of inflated reviews on TripAdvisor. Certainly a number of us have had warm conversations with hotel and BB owners--conversations that prompted reviews that might come more from the heart than the mind. I was not pressured into writing a review, and I did not give Liwan a perfect rating because I believe it was better than... More

The hotel is very clean and supremely decorated with old world charm. The staff was kind enough to put up with our very late check-in, and they were very friendly throughout our stay. Our room was very small, and we had the deluxe room (but I'm not sure what that means). Still, it was very nice albeit a bit small.... More
