Hotel is perfectly located on the lake side. The view from lake side rooms is very nice. Hotel's bbq restaurant Mangal and fish restaurant are delicious. Fish restaurant, with its broad windows next to the lake has a nice atmosphere. Their specialties, sea bass cooked in hard salt and warm spinach-cheese souffle are must tries. Hotel's staff are not fluent... More

We had hoped to spend two happy nights/days at this hotel on the beautiful Lake Van, but the reception desk staff were so unpleasant that we left after one night to return to Mardin. The restaurant staff did direct us to a fantastic restaurant within sight of this hotel - on the road toward Van - where we had the... More

Tranquil settings. Breakfast area is outside and it is overlooking the lake, nice, peaceful atmosphere. The breakfast buffet also includes local specialities, delicious. I recommend you to try the region's honey with a special yoghurt cream and dried wallnuts. Clean, spacious rooms. Ask for a lake side room, the view is wonderful. Big range of free toiletries including even a... More

Good location on the lake shore but needs good management. Air conditioning did not work and room was stifling. They tried to charge us for another night saying we had not paid. When asked about the A.C. the receptionist said "Just pull the cord and it will start ".Huh?? Breakfast was O.K. and evening meal was good. When we arrived... More

We made a trip trough Eastern Turkye and stayed two nights in this nice hotel. The diner was good and also the breakfast in a very good looking restaurant with a vieuw on the lakeside. When we stayed at this hotel the restauration was not yet completed, that was a minor point. But it becomes a very completed situation.

Our view from our room was filled with the bright blue of the lake. The breakfast room is next to the pool and have nice scenes of the lake. Breakfast area is... More

Although the Merit has the very best location around Van the praise stops there. It was really overpriced for the service available. English is not spoken,or indeed understood. The reception and waiting staff at this hotel were just awful - couldn't care less attitude was really infuriating, and the waft of xenophobia, overpowering. Getting an evening meal was a real...
