A restored Ottoman konak in the Hatuniye waterfront quarter, offering traditional timber-detailed rooms a short walk from the Hazeranlar Mansion and the rock tombs. River-facing rooms and a terrace overlook the Yesilirmak and the floodlit cliffs at night. With rates of around $30-52 per night, it sits comfortably in the mid-range boutique band of the Yaliboyu cluster.
Amasya Atabey Konagi is a restored Ottoman konak on Hazeranlar Sokak in the Hatuniye waterfront quarter of Amasya, Turkey, the main lane of traditional bay-window mansions that defines the old town's most visited streetscape. The building retains original timber-detailed facades and carved wooden interiors, with rooms fitted with air conditioning and modern bathrooms. Three room types are available: standard doubles, konak rooms with river views, and family rooms. River-facing rooms on the upper floors and a terrace overlook the Yesilirmak and the floodlit Pontic rock tombs carved into the cliff on the opposite bank — a view that is particularly striking after dark when the illumination begins at around 20:00 in summer. Breakfast is included in the rate, and a 24-hour front desk operates on site. The Hazeranlar Mansion Museum, the waterfront cafes, the Bayezid II Mosque, and the old bazaar entrance are all within a five-minute walk. Nightly rates of around 1,400-2,400 Turkish lira (approx $30-52) place it in the mid-range of the Yaliboyu boutique band, making it a strong entry-point choice for first-time visitors to Amasya's konak accommodation scene. The pedestrianised nature of Hazeranlar Sokak means the immediate approach is calm and car-free, with easy luggage access on flat paved stone.
