Elif Hatun Konagi

Absolutely beautifully restored and decorated Ottoman mansion that once housed three generations. One of the best breakfasts we’ve had in Turkey. If you want a dinner fit for a Michelin star, walk seven minutes to the fabulous Taarsa Restaurant and your trip to Tarsus will be perfect.

I have truly fallen in love with this beautiful, stunningly designed hotel. It doesn’t even feel right calling it a ‘hotel’ as it feels so much more homely than that. From the moment I stepped foot inside the konak, I felt transported into another world entirely. The beautiful trees and outside decor, the plants, historical ornaments and of course the boss of the ground Limon (the dog 😆). Being a history fanatic, every single corner of this hotel down the it’s tiniest detail has been beautifully and deeply thought out. I’ve taken so many photos and videos I’m sure I still have many more to take when I come back soon! The staff give a family vibe to the place which I personally feel is PERFECT. Elif is so sweet and has been nothing but a gem since I arrived. The breakfast has been stunning and I absolutely LOVE their home made jams and honey! It is DELICIOUS! One of my favourite things about staying here is that I hear the ezan (call the prayer) every morning. Waking up to that is something else! I will 100% be back for my future trips back to Tarsus as I feel safe, comfortable so looked after. Elif Hatun Konağındaki herkese çok teşekkür ederim ☺️✨

Location is convenient. The hotel atmosphere with a courtyard full of bougainvillea pink flowers was nice. Great breakfast. Clean and comfortable room. And above all, warm hospitality of the whole staff!

It was a very pleasant hotel The staff very nice and hotel was very clean! You can walk everywhere so easy near hotel! Recommend for nice stay in Tarsus! The breakfast was delicious!

Very traditional hotel with charming rooms and a great courtyard where a really nice breakfast is served. Highly recommendable if you prefer something a little different.
