Tatvan, Turkey, July 1

Ustun hotel, room 206
Decent little hotel in a town with very few options. Our room had definitely seen better days, with peeling paint and old carpet, however there was a peep of the lake and the bathroom was clean. Beds were mind-bogglingly hard - feels a bit like you are doing penance for a mid-range crime, while the colour scheme was in lurid technicolour. On the positive side, management are very friendly and a good breakfast is included in the rate. If you ask, they can arrange trips up to Mt Nemrut (we were quoted 20 YTL per person). This hotel would also be a good option for female travellers.
Bathroom: private
View: lake and streetscape
Cost: 40 YT
Recommended: Yes, seems to be the best of the bunch.
