If you are coming to Bursa to visit the historic centre of this city, the first capital of the Ottomans, Kitap Evi is where you want to stay. The hotel is within walking distance of everything you will want to see, from the Green Mosque to the Panorama 1326 to the Muradiye complex, and yet its position perched in the citadel of the old city means that it is away from the noisy streets below. The staff are lovely and patient, the rooms comfortable and individual—no cookie-cutter mass tourism here—and the restaurant is so good that locals apparently use it for romantic special occasions. We witnessed several birthday celebrations and, we believe, a proposal. I have stayed there twice in five years and if I get the chance to visit Bursa a third time I will go back to Kitap Evi again.

Delightful little hotel with character in close proximity to major sites. Very attentive staff. Restaurant good and garden courtyard is delightful. One of our nicest stays in Turkey.
