Although I read some bad comments about this hotel I can only say that I spent two nights with my wife in a very centred hotel and close to any important place of Bursa. About it staff as It was told in previous remarks, all women, with different characters of course, but most of them very friendly. Due to the gender, you can see the female touch in their hotel, clean rooms, good breakfast and a nice smile in reception. It is a good place to stay there. About the noise, their good windows are going to isolate you from the street and the next bazar. A next parking will provide you with a slot to leave your car for 6-9 euros per day. The hote, good value for the price.

I stayed at the Cesmali for one night in August 2009 and arrived at about 8pm without a reservation, and was given a room after taking a look and agreeing on a price of 55 TYL in a twin-room for one.

Its location is superb - right in the middle of Atatuke Caddesi but down a side street which leads onto the bazaar, and bus 38 from the train Otogar takes you right there though negotiating the busy Ataturk Caddesi can be a task in itself at all hours.

My room was very spacious, and clean, though a little non-descript. Windows were double-glazed which kept out all the noise outside. There's also free in-room wi-fi, good air-con, plenty of blankets, comfortable bed, cable TV, good strong shower and an excellent breakfast included in the price served between 7-10am.

However, the hotel staff (all women) were a little standoffish, and seemed annoyed at various requests from guests, and there was a lack of electric plugs in the rooms for chargers etc. But otherwise, a solid choice - better than the Efehan next door even though the latter is much prettier.

This is a hotel run by women only, don't ask me why. It is a bit dated, but our romm was clean, with an air-co, the breakfast was more than sufficient and most staff members were friendly and helpful. (We were lost in the maze of streets and one of the staff members recognized us and pointed the way).
There is a parking building right next to it: very convenient.

We chose this hotel as it was recommended in the Michelin guide we had been using for Turkey. The location is superb with the bazar on one side and the main Ataturk street on the other side.
We called to check availability and price, we were told 100TL for a double room for one night, which we accepted as we had been driving all day and were a bit tired. We arrived and got our room, which was OK: one double bed, one single bed, window to the street (but very quiet). Bathroom was clean but there were awful neon lights in the room. All in all quite dated. It also looked like the hotel was all empty.
We had early breakfast all alone and when checking out we wanted to pay by credit card as we were short on Turkish lira, this they did not accept even if there was a credit card PIN reader on the desk, we were told this was only for companies (go figure). We asked if we could pay in Euros but this they didn't accept either, so we were forced to go to an ATM and withdraw the necessary TL's (we were flying back in the afternoon, so we didn't want excess TL's). When giving the lady at the desk the 100TL (as agreed, no problem here) she just dropped them in a drawer and went on with her business. Now I was getting a bit angry so I asked for a receipt, when writing it she had no idea of the room fare and the taxes, I'd expect them to know the tax part if 100TL was the standard rate for a double room for one night.
All in all, we were not tricked as others have mentioned on this page, but I didn't quite like the way they treated us and I believe they weren't being completely honest with us.
