Kent Hotel

This is a nice, modern hotel in the very heart of Bursa, right across the street from Ulu Cami, Koza Han, City Hall, etc.

It seems mostly to be a business and Turkish-oriented hotel, rather than geared towards foreign tourists. We were just about the only non-Turks at the hotel, which was full of many Turkish guests, mostly seeming to be there on business and the like. I like this because it makes things more matter of fact and leaves out the touristy kitsch, etc.

The main problem is that in the summer, with the warm, somewhat humid evenings, the hotel can get kind of stuffy (at least, that's my point of view; I'm used to cold, foggy summer nights where I live; I find Portland, Orwgon to be a bit warm and stuffy at night, too, if that's an indication of my perspective).

Unique Quality: It has a great location with nice vies of Bursa, and a great breakfast at the top floor, overlooking the Ulu Cami, Koza Han and other sites.

Directions: It's in the heart of the city, right across Ataturk Caddesi from Ulu Cami and Koza Han.
