A 20-room konak-style hotel and restaurant set in a restored Misirli mansion in the central Hatuniye quarter, about a ten-minute walk from the old town core. Rooms include minibars, flat-screen satellite televisions, and en-suite shower rooms, and the on-site restaurant serves Amasya cuisine. Rates of roughly $43-69 per night place it in the mid-range boutique bracket.
Grand Pasha Otel occupies a restored Misirli mansion in the central Hatuniye quarter of Amasya, Turkey, operating as a 20-room konak-style hotel and restaurant on Tevfik Hafiz Cikmazi, about ten minutes' walk from the rock tombs and Yesilirmak waterfront. The building's Ottoman and late-period merchant-house character is expressed in its proportioned facades, while interior refurbishment has added air conditioning, flat-screen satellite televisions, minibars, and en-suite shower rooms to each room. Three room categories are available — standard doubles, deluxe rooms, and family rooms — with deluxe rooms occupying the upper floors and offering better natural light and ventilation. The in-house restaurant serves regional Amasya cuisine including tarhana-based dishes, local grilled meats, and seasonal produce. There is no spa, pool, or garden. The hotel serves guests arriving under both leisure and business pretexts; the 24-hour front desk, restaurant access, and proximity to the bazaar and museum district make it a workable central base. The Amasya Archaeological Museum, the Bayezid II Mosque complex, and the old bazaar entrance are all within walking range. Nightly rates of roughly 2,000-3,200 Turkish lira (approx $43-69) represent mid-range pricing for a hotel of this size and category, without the premium waterfront position of the most sought-after Yaliboyu konaks.

Highlights
- Restored Misirli merchant mansion architecture in the old Hatuniye quarter, minutes from the bazaar district
- In-house restaurant serving regional Amasya cuisine including tarhana soup and seasonal local dishes
- Flat-screen satellite TV and minibar in each room, extending amenities beyond the typical small konak offering

Tips for visiting
- The in-house restaurant is a reliable dinner option; waterfront restaurants can have queues on peak summer evenings
- Request a deluxe upper-floor room for better light; ground and first-floor rooms can feel dim given traditional Ottoman-style small windows
- Tevfik Hafiz Cikmazi is a cul-de-sac, which makes the hotel approach quieter than properties on the main streets
- The Amasya Archaeological Museum and the Hazeranlar Mansion are the two most significant indoor sights; both are accessible from here on foot in under fifteen minutes
- Taxis from Merzifon Airport (approximately 45 km) typically take 35-45 minutes; agreeing the fare before departure is standard practice
