A waterfront Ottoman yali a few metres from the Yesilirmak and forty metres from the King Rock Tombs, run as a boutique guesthouse alongside the neighbouring Sehrizade properties. Bay-window rooms and a riverside terrace face the cliff tombs, and the restaurant serves regional dishes. Nightly rates of about $32-54 cover one of the most scenic waterfront positions in the Yaliboyu district.
Sehri Zade Yalisi is a waterfront Ottoman yali on Hazeranlar Sokak in the Hatuniye Mahallesi of Amasya's Yaliboyu district, Turkey, positioned only metres from the Yesilirmak River and approximately forty metres from the King Rock Tombs — the closest lodging to those ancient Pontic cliff monuments in Amasya. The property is run as a boutique guesthouse connected to the neighbouring Sehrizade properties on the same sokak. Bay-window rooms in the yali's traditional timber facade provide direct river views, and a riverside terrace extends the sightlines to the cliff face opposite. The in-house restaurant serves regional Amasya dishes and a laundry service and 24-hour front desk round out the practical provision. Three room types are available: standard doubles, bay-window river rooms, and family rooms. The bay-window river rooms are the signature accommodation — the traditional Ottoman projecting window sits almost at river level, giving a perspective on the Yesilirmak and the rock tombs that is unmatched by most rooms in the city. Nightly rates of about 1,500-2,500 Turkish lira (approx $32-54) represent strong value for this degree of waterfront proximity and the quality of the yali's character, making it particularly suited to couples seeking maximum scenic immersion in Amasya's most atmospheric setting.

Tips for visiting
- Bay-window river rooms are the standout accommodation here — book them well in advance as there are very few available
- The rock-tomb illumination begins around 20:00 in summer and continues until midnight; the terrace is the optimal vantage point without the crowds on the main promenade
- Hazeranlar Sokak is quiet after 22:00 despite the central location; the river provides ambient sound rather than traffic noise at night
- The restaurant is a good option for breakfast before a morning visit to the rock tombs' base-of-cliff viewpoint, roughly ten minutes away across the footbridge
- The direct booking channel for this property is a specialised platform; confirming availability by phone as well as online is advisable before finalising plans

Frequently asked questions
How close are the rock tombs to the yali?
The Pontic rock tombs are carved into the cliff on the opposite bank of the Yesilirmak, roughly forty metres from the hotel's waterfront position. Bay-window rooms and the terrace face the cliff directly; the tombs' base is accessible in around ten minutes by crossing the footbridge.
What are bay-window river rooms like?
Bay-window river rooms occupy the projecting traditional Ottoman cikma window bays in the yali facade. The window frames a direct view of the Yesilirmak and the cliff face, and the rooms have an immersive quality not found in standard hotel accommodation.
Is the restaurant open to walk-in diners?
The restaurant serves both hotel guests and outside visitors. During peak summer season it is busy; a reservation is recommended for dinner, particularly for terrace seating.
What is the difference between Sehri Zade Yalisi and Sehrizade Konagi?
Both are connected boutique properties in the same waterfront cluster under related management. Sehri Zade Yalisi is the yali (riverside house) component emphasising its direct river position; Sehrizade Konagi is the neighbouring konak building on the same sokak.
Is there parking nearby?
The waterfront sokak is pedestrianised. The nearest vehicle parking is on Ataturk Caddesi, approximately four to five minutes on foot. Guests should unload luggage on the adjacent road before parking.
