Located on the main Ataturk Road, right opposite the port and next to the bazaars-- this hotel is quite a find.
The building is more than 300 years old and the old doors bear testimony to that.
At the reception, you'll find pictures of famous people who've visited the hotel-- Jimmy Carter being one of them.
We lived here for 3 days in March. Gets a little cold here at that time of the year (and the rooms and building being old, the heating takes a while to work completely). But that was the only glitch.
Staff is helpful and the place if good value for money.
I'll definitely be back.

We really loved the hotel, it was an interesting and picturesque place to stay right in the heart of Kusadasi. We were using it as a base to visit Ephesus. The town is basically lots of tourist shops and restaurants for the cruise ships. The room was very clean and comfortable- not huge but big enough. The staff were very pleasant and responsive to requests for more pillows towels etc. The internet was fine - we had the modem right outside our room. We enjoyed the delicious breakfasts in the courtyard and sitting outside our room overlooking the courtyard. The only problem we had was the noise from the events in the courtyard which happened on all 3 of the nights stayed. The Turkish night was very good we watched it from the balcony. But it was very loud until after 11.30. The other two nights were wedding parties - interesting but so loud we couldn't even watch TV in our room. Again lasting until midnight with clean up noises until after 1am. If you like to be out late this wouldn't be a problem but if you like to relax in your room in the evening you should check the events schedule before you book a night here.

I stayed at the hotel Kervansaray with my boyfriend for 3 nights at the beginning of October. We booked through a travel agent as we got a slightly better rate than we would if we booked directly through the hotel website.

We found the hotel pretty easily as we had looked it up on Google Maps prior to travelling, so that gave us an idea of where to find it. It's also quite distinctive as it seems to be the only historic building in its immediate area, which makes it stand out a fair bit. There are a lot of inexpensive hotels in Kusadasi and the Kervansaray, whilst not being particularly expensive, is not the cheapest option by a long shot, but the reason we picked this hotel is its heritage - it seemed a shame to pass up an opportunity to stay in a building with such history and character. I'm glad to say that our expectations we certainly met and we were reassured that we'd made the right choice as soon as we saw the hotel. It's breathtakingly beautiful and (usually) a lovely oasis of calm in a fairly busy and touristy resort.

Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly member of staff at the check-in desk, who sent two other members of staff to get our bags and take us up to our room. Each room has its own name - our room was called CiCi, which apparently means 'pretty' in Turkish. The room itself was nicely decorated in a very traditional looking style, but with modern amenities such as TV, tea/coffee making facilities and free internet (ask at Reception). The bathroom was also nicely decorated and very clean, with a decent shower and plenty of space around the sink for toiletries and such.

I should note that, as with most hotels, the pictures displayed on the hotel website do make the bedrooms look massive, which ours wasn't. It was a decent size and we certainly didn't feel restricted, no complaints at all about it, but it's just something to be aware of if you're expecting or require lots of space.

On our first night at the hotel there was a wedding reception going on in the central courtyard, which did cause a lot of noise even in the room. We're not early-to-bed sorts so it didn't bother us, but it might cause problems for anyone hoping for a quiet early night. We were getting ready for going out and your could hear the bass of the music thumping in the room. It was still going on at about 10pm when we went out, we stopped to watch the dancing for a little while from our balcony, which was brilliant and felt like a little peek into Turkish life. Every other night we were there was very very quiet , so what you get just depends on what's going on when you stay there really.

Breakfast at the hotel was really lovely (continental) and was served to us at a table in the courtyard. You can also have it served to you at the table outside your room, overlooking the courtyard.

Overall, I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a bit more character than the normal hotels in the area can offer, and who doesn't mind if a bit of music is playing on an evening. We didn't really rate Kusadasi, it was far too much like a British seaside resort and offered little in the way of Turkish culture. We took it with a pinch of salt and had a laugh about it for the most part, but I dread to think how we would have viewed it if we had stayed anywhere other than the Kervansaray, which brought some much needed character to our stay in Kusadasi.

We arrived early morning to Club Kervansaray after a long night's bus ride from Istanbul, and right away the hotel manager was available to help us with luggage and arranging trips to Ephesus and Pamukkale. Unfortunately, I did not get his name, but he was a very kind man who was always available to help us get the travel services to these locations.

Granted, we stayed only one night, and it happened to be "Turkish Night" at the hotel's common area (a gorgeous courtyard where the merchants conducted their trade) - but this only added to the memories of the place. The room was average, but it had exactly what we needed - a bed and AC.

And, finally, the location was right by the Kusadasi bays, and by the pedestrian walkways where we traveled around and had dinner and did some shopping.

Overall, a wonderful experience and we would definitely recommend this hotel.
