The owner organized a tour for us in Kahta and Nemrut with a reasonable price, including pick up and drop off at Kahta bus terminal. Super nice! And we love the garden of the owner, unlimited fruit picking. The dinner and breakfast were great too. We love our stay in this hostel.

Beautiful outdoor seating area. Very comfortable room with a large bed. Each night, I ate the food which was delicious. The family who run the place were very attentive. I had to delay a tour because of illness, which I know was an inconvenience, but they were accommodating. The tour was great and I felt I had as much time as I wanted to explore.

Everything perfect

Murat and Ahmed are incredible hosts. Their pension is located in Karadut, a quiet little town. They offer pick-up and drop-off in Katha, if you don't want to take a dolmus. They also offer transportation to mount Nemrut (the hike to the top is about 3 hours). The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The AC in the room is nice during the hot summer days. A little supermarket is right around the corner. Ahmed is a good cook and he invited me for dinner with his friends.

Nothing to dislike

Very friendly owner, amazingly beautiful surroundings. I wish we stayed longer than one night, as most people do (just making sure they can visit Nemrut at sunset or sunrise), because there are plenty more ruins/archeological sites as well as stunning natural beauty - in our whole trip around southeastern Turkey this area was the most beautiful. I don't know if there are many marked trails, but it looked amazing for hiking

Everything was fine.

The place is a great value for the money. The owner is exceptionally friendly and attentive. The food he cooked for dinner was delicious and plentiful. The location is really convenient for access to Mt. Nemrut.

Had a great stay at Işık Pansiyon! My rooms were clean and comfortable and the owner and his son were super helpful - they made me dinner when I arrived super late and helped me get up and down the mountain!

We contacted the host, Murat to give us a tour of the main attractions in the area including Nemrut (extra cost). He picked us up at the bus station in Kahta and dropped us off there the next day. I especially appreciated that he did not smoke in the car like many Turkish drivers like to do. The food at the stay was also delicious (extra cost). The accommodations were basic but functional. For the price, I certainly can't complain. A great compromise between traveling on a budget and not testing my ability to manual on the steep and winding Turkish roads around Nemrut.

Isik Pansiyon is located very close to the top of the mountain with very easy access to main road and a private parking lot. The staff was amazing and helped us throughout our stay. He gave us tips about what time to go up to the mountain for sunrise, which paths to take for an easy climb and what to do on top of the mountain. The stay was amaizng and I would recommend this place to everyone

We absolutely loved the intimate, family-like atmosphere of this property - it felt incredibly cozy and welcoming :) The service was great, with the kind owners making us feel right at home. Ahmet was simply wonderful! Our mountain getaway was truly spectacular - we were completely happy with this experience.

Only the shower head could not be hanged and the hot water pressure was not very strong but for us was not a big problem.

The owners have been so welcoming and very flexible. Really nice people that let us feel like at home. We appreciated it a lot. The first day they have waited for us until 23:00 in the evening. Room was basic bus spacious and comfortable and with everything you need.

I highly recommend this guesthouse. It's only 12 km and about 20 minutes from Mount Nemrut, making Karadut the most convenient place to stay before your trip to the mountain. We really liked the staff at the guesthouse — very friendly and always available. The room was spacious and clean, with both air conditioning and a heater, and a mountain view from the window. Parking is available along the street near the hotel. Dinner and breakfast are also available on-site, though we didn’t try the food. The price for the stay was very reasonable. If you're looking for a place to stay for one night, this is a great option.

Cozy room with a stunning view of the mountains. Very convenient location/close to Mt Nemrut. The owner also helped me have an amazing day by picking me up from the airport, driving me to multiple historic sites, and helping direct me at Mt Nemrut…all for a very reasonable price.

Property is in amazing location, 15 min with car to Nemrud Dag. Cozy and clean room, the place is quiet, we sleep very well(first time in Turkey). The breakfast was very good. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Very close to the Mount Nemrut, nice and peaceful area, maybe due to winter season, less tourist around. The room is clean, spacey and comfort with the heater. The host is helpful and friendly. I booked for a night but turned out to be 2 nights, indeed I had a good stay there.

Even though this is a budget friendly pension hotel, the family takes hospitality up to a level that I have never experienced before. Brilliant, kind, and caring. The room and amenities were comfortable, clean, and warm. Thanks so much for being so accommodating about my changed schedule causing a difficult pick up time from Kahta. Special thanks to Ahmet for the delicious breakfasts (amazing), the driving tours, and enduring a freezing and snowy sunrise!

The bathroom facilities could be improved.

We had all we needed for a peaceful and useful stay. We did all we expected with the help of the owner and his son. Transportation was provided at a reasonable cost. The location in Karadut is pleasant and excellent for visiting Mount Nemrut. Food was very good.

Very good stay. Room was very clean and comfortable. Meals (breakfast and dinner) were very good. I arranged with Murat beforehand for an airport pickup from Adiyaman, round trip to Mount Nemrut, and drop off at Kahta bus station where I caught a dolmus to Urfa. All for a reasonable price. Murat was very responsive and clear over WhatsApp communications.
