HOTEL BAYKAL com-Restaurant & Pension in Hattusha

Very lovely pension. Very clean and quiet with a great courtyard to hang out in. The owners were incredibly helpful with tips on what to do in the area and how to get around, with free maps and lots of advice. They were also very accommodating, making us an amazing vegetarian spread for dinner both nights we were there. Highly recommend.

Very clean and comfortable hotel in the centre of Bogazkale village. Run by the well dressed, softly spoken Mustafa who multilingual and very helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent and well presented. I would highly recommend it for other travellers visiting this village.

The Hotel is great. The owner is really nice and caring. Would recommend at any given time

Lovely family run hotel. Pleasant hospitality and food. Very helpful with tips for visiting the Hittite's ruins around the area.

Really best food in town. The owners are super friendly and willing to walk the extra mile for a comfortable stay.

Nice hotel, clean and comfortable. The areas a bit touristic so the prices are a bit higher. If you're comparing the prices to other touristic places then it's still on the cheap end. The restaurant was good as well.

We had a great time here, even though Covid has been hard for the area, the owner, Ahmet did he's very best to make our stay comfortable and we felt very welcome. Thank you Ahmet, also for helping us with translating at the hospital with my father.

The hotel is very different from what the reviews from years ago make it to be! Maybe years ago this hotel was a good option, but not anymore, I will explain why. We had a bad experience there, which turned even worse later, the last paragraph of my review is the deep end. Trying to benefit from the convenient location they want to charge high rates, but the conditions are below average. The hotel itself is not well maintained, the room wasn't very clean and some small things need repairs. The main reason is that the current manager is not the person who built and looked after the hotel years ago. We also had dinner at the hotel, a big mistake - a tasteless dish made from something frozen came with a price tag of a nice meal in a major city. During the short hours of our stay, we had several encounters with the manager, who told us the sad story of his brother and father dying recently. At one point he made a huge scene as some local people had parked in "his" spot - banging doors, shouting, etc. Another issue was that "his price" was different from the one we had booked online, but the difference was 1 EUR, so I just let it slide. He had the audacity to tell the booking site that I had requested a room upgrade to justify the price change, as the amount was so tiny I didn't even bother to discuss it. Even after all those issues, I left him a short review on the booking site with a higher rating than deserved - a generous 4/10, I didn't even go into details. And that's where the situation took a sharp turn. The manager began sending me insults and demands to delete my review. As I did not delete the review he went absolutely mental. He kept sending insults covering not just me, but my wife, family, country and my country's main religion. Then he began with the threats. He showed me that he had my profile pic (it's public) and he told me that he has notified the police, army and several embassies (where he has friends) that I am a terrorist. And yes, I do realise that this person has my personal details, including my passport. I filed a formal complaint with the hotel booking site, but there is nothing they can do.
