A 47-room modern hotel on the banks of the Yesilirmak in the city centre, offering river views and conventional comforts within walking distance of the business, shopping, and entertainment districts. Free buffet breakfast, wifi, self parking, and an elevator make it a practical choice for travellers who prefer a full-service hotel over a small konak. Nightly rates run about $48-82.
Buyuk Amasya Oteli is a 47-room modern hotel on Ataturk Caddesi along the banks of the Yesilirmak in central Amasya, Turkey, the largest conventional hotel in the immediate city-centre area. Unlike the surrounding Ottoman konak guesthouses, it operates with the structure of a full-service mid-range hotel: a free buffet breakfast, self-parking, elevator access, prayer room, and 24-hour reception are all included in the room rate. Four room categories are offered — standard doubles, river-view rooms, family rooms, and suites — with river-view rooms providing direct sightlines across the Yesilirmak to the historic waterfront mansions and, from upper floors, toward the cliff tombs. Air conditioning and wifi are standard throughout. The hotel suits business travellers visiting Amasya's government and commercial offices along Ataturk Caddesi, as well as family groups who prefer hotel-style logistics over the intimate atmosphere of a small konak. The prayer room is a practical facility for observant Muslim guests that most smaller konak properties do not offer. The main shopping streets, the bazaar, and the museum district are reachable on foot within ten to fifteen minutes. Nightly rates of roughly 2,200-3,800 Turkish lira (approx $48-82) are within the mid-range band for Amasya, with river-view and suite categories at the top of that range.

Highlights
- River-view rooms with direct sightlines over the Yesilirmak, unique among full-service hotels in central Amasya
- Buffet breakfast included; elevator and prayer room facilities not typically found at the smaller konak guesthouses
- 47-room scale providing year-round availability when smaller boutique properties are booked out
- Self-parking on site and 24-hour reception on Ataturk Caddesi, convenient for road-trip arrivals

Tips for visiting
- Book a river-view room early; there are fewer of them relative to street-facing rooms and they sell out first in summer
- The buffet breakfast is served from approximately 07:00 and suits early-morning departures toward Samsun, Trabzon, or Ankara
- Self-parking on site is a convenience for road-trip travellers crossing between the Black Sea coast and inland Anatolia
- The prayer room is typically located on the ground floor; Muslim guests keeping regular prayers will find it easier to use than seeking a nearby mosque
- Amasya winters are cold and rainy from November to March; the hotel's practical amenities make it a better cold-season choice than minimally heated historic konaks

Frequently asked questions
Does the hotel have an elevator?
Yes, Buyuk Amasya Oteli has a lift, making upper floors accessible without using stairs. This is a significant advantage over traditional konak hotels, which typically have wooden staircases only.
Are river-view rooms significantly better?
River-view rooms overlook the Yesilirmak and, from upper floors, frame the historic waterfront and cliff skyline. The premium over a standard room is typically modest; these rooms are recommended for first-time visitors to Amasya.
Is there parking on site?
Yes, self-parking is available on site at no additional charge. The hotel's position on Ataturk Caddesi makes it one of the most car-accessible hotels in the central area.
Does the hotel have a restaurant?
The hotel provides a buffet breakfast but does not operate a full a-la-carte restaurant for lunch and dinner. Numerous restaurants and cafes are available on Ataturk Caddesi and the waterfront promenade within easy walking distance.
Is there a prayer room?
Yes, the hotel has a prayer room, a facility uncommon at the smaller konak guesthouses in Amasya. It is suitable for observant Muslim guests who need a dedicated space for daily prayers.
