I'm not sure if I agree with the previous reviewer that it's a renovated caravansaray, since the brochure states it was formerly a oil and soap factory. Nevertheless, it was a place with nice, new furnishings and a relaxing atmosphere. There was cake and cookies near the reception and a grand piano with many plushy chairs. The bathroom was one of the best I've had in Turkey (shiny, new, clean, with bathtub and nicely appointed sink). The breakfast was very abundant (we especially liked the spicy scrambled eggs). My only regret is that there was a lot of cigarette smoke in the large lobby, in all the sitting areas. The rooms were thankfully smoke-free though.

The sophisticated Savon is a suprise. Created by renovating an ancient caravansaray, the hotel entrance is directly off the street thru an old gate. Once you are standing in the courtyard, all street sounds are gone and you are surrounded by light, cool air and beautiful flowers. The reception area is amazing considering one is in remote southeastern Turkey. Here you will find huge western style sofas, old European chairs and desks, lovely flora arrangements and a busy but hushed and well-organized ambience. Desk staff are helpful and attentive. The rooms are quite large but there are no windows only skylights. Rooms are very clean and there is thick carpeting. Bathrooms are clean and every bathroom has a full size tub. Good quality toiletries but only semi- thick towels. The gift shop on the premises is unique. Instead of run-of-the-mill selections many items are handmade and with a very sophisticated level of design. There are some small antique painted glass pieces, wonderful jewelry, laurel soaps, home made jams, thick Turkish towels and bathrobes and more. Drinkingwater in this area can be a problem. Have bottled water on hand for brushing your teeth and ask for drinks without ice. There is a breakfast buffet in a lovely dining area with some unique choices from the area. Stafff are on hand to answer any questions you may have if you see something unusual.
