Dogubayzit, Turkey, July 3-4

Tahran Hotel, room 301
Having fended off the touts near the bus station, we ended up at this gem of a hotel, which has comfy beds, ok, if quite lumpy pillows, views of Mt Ararat from some rooms and a great enclosed rooftop space where you can buy your last beer before the Iranian border. Unfortunately our room was quite noisy due to its location by the stairwell, but it's nothing a good set of earplugs won't fix. Management is extremely helpful and friendly and there is wireless available downstairs and free internet too. The breakfast room doubles as a chill out room and has a cracking view of the mountains. A really refreshing place to spend our last nights in Turkey.
Bathroom: private, although drains were a bit smelly
View: Mt Ararat (this wins best view of all the places we've stayed in Turkey)
Cost: 36 YTL including an average breakfast
Recommended: Yes, absolutely
