İsa Begov Hamam Hotel

A very friendly welcome at the hotel from staff who were always prepared to help and advise. My ground floor room was tidy with some lovely furniture, but I did find it dark and the bathroom a little small. Breakfast was on the upper floor and was lovely with tables laid out individually. The key for me was the location, just a short walk across the river to the central area with its attractions and numerous eateries, or to the cable car.

Sadly TripAdvisor doesn't allow for more than 5 stars. Stayed here for seven nights and it was perfect. Good communications beforehand. Discussed payments and arrangement of transport from airport (who turned out to be our personal taxi a few more times). Warm welcome on arrival and the rooms and general ambience were delightful and in excellent condition. It's not a large hotel and the duty managers, who cover 24 hours between them, covered everything in a truly professional and friendly manner. They were also good for information and always prepared to give some time to help. The local style breakfast with eggs cooked to order provided a good introduction to the day. As with the front of house staff the breakfast room was consistently managed by an unchanging team to the same high standard every day. I used the hamman twice as this was included and although I didn't take up the massage or treatment options it provided a pleasant and totally relaxing experience. Again the staff here were friendly and helpful. It is rare to find such a fine team of people in a hotel which provides a personal touch and makes you feel an honoured guest. Definitely recommended.
