A restored Ottoman mansion complex on the Yesilirmak waterfront in the Yaliboyu district, set across several historic konak buildings on Hazeranlar Sokak. Rooms blend carved-wood Ottoman detailing with modern comforts, and the in-house restaurant frames views of the Bayezid II Mosque and the rock-cut Pontic tombs across the river. Rates run roughly $39-69 per night, placing it among Amasya's best-known boutique stays.
Emin Efendi Konaklari occupies a cluster of restored Ottoman mansion buildings on Hazeranlar Sokak in the Yaliboyu waterfront quarter of Amasya, Turkey. The complex sits directly beside the Yesilirmak River, with views across to the Bayezid II Mosque and the ancient Pontic rock tombs carved into the cliff face opposite. The architecture retains characteristic Ottoman carved-wood bay windows, stone ground floors, and decorated ceilings, each restored to accommodate modern plumbing and air conditioning. Rooms range from standard doubles to suites and family rooms, with upper-floor konak rooms offering the most dramatic river and tomb perspectives. The in-house restaurant serves regional Amasya dishes including tarhana soup and slow-cooked local specialities, framing the river view through large windows; a full buffet breakfast is included in most rates. A 24-hour front desk and terrace round out the facilities. There is no spa or swimming pool, reflecting the property's character as an intimate heritage guesthouse rather than a resort. Service is attentive and personal, making it well suited to couples and cultural travellers. The Hazeranlar Mansion Museum, the old bazaar streets, and the city's principal teahouses are all within a five-minute walk. Nightly rates of roughly 1,800-3,200 Turkish lira (approx $39-69) represent solid value for the waterfront position and the quality of restoration across the multi-building complex.

Tips for visiting
- Book a Konak Room with river view rather than a standard double; the price difference is modest but the view is substantially better
- Arrive before dusk to watch the Pontic tombs floodlit from the terrace — illumination begins around 20:00 in summer
- Hazeranlar Sokak is pedestrianised; park on Ataturk Caddesi (three to five minutes on foot) and carry luggage from there
- Breakfast runs roughly 07:30-10:00; early-departing guests should request a packed breakfast the evening before
- The waterfront is most animated on warm summer evenings — rooms on the river side will hear ambient cafe music until around 23:00
