Amazing history, cuisine and exploring the old town is a fascinating experience. Friendly people always welcoming to visitors and interested in hearing what you think of their city. The old market is similarly a great place to spend time exploring while the archeological museum does a great job of bringing Antakya's ancient and diverse history to life.

Antakya is a gorgeous city with one of the best museums in the country. It is so far my favorite city in Turkey! As a solo traveler I feel very safe here, do not get hassled, no one is being pushy and trying to sell me things. Plus the food here is possibly the best I have ever had- in all of my travels!!! I can't wait to go back.

To the old church of Sankt Peter and the new Museum you need to take a taksi. The glass museum was ok but hard to find. The old basaar (called uzun carsi)was a visit worth. We had a turkish breakfast (called serpme kahvalti) at Antakya Sultan sofrasi kahvialte evi (beyazit street no.1). It was very good and located in one of the old houses. If you are interested in old things Nostalji Cafe may be a visit worth.
this hotel is in the heart of the city. walk in distance to a lot of places. everyone is so friendly. we definitely felt like staying in our own home. Fatih , Serap , everyone working at the hotel are extremely kind and helpful. the owner of the hotel Esra Hanim is so kind. the place is spotless. the breakfast is exquisite. I highly recommend this place. very safe. also if you need a guide the hotel provides this service for you with a charge. our guide Hasan Bey was one of a kind. we love Antakya and it’s people:)
Location and hotel is perfect, staff (Kerem, Gökhan) was very friendly and helpful. They gave lots of nice suggestions for our visit. Breakfast was delicious, composed of local food. Must visit: Hatay Archeology Museum. Also many other places, activities in the city and around, such as local bazaar 'Uzun Çarşı', last Armenian village 'Vakıflı', one of the first Christian churches 'st Pierre', Arsuz beach etc
It was an exceptional stay and the staff members went way out of their way to help us. The breakfast is a big highlight at Luwi Hotel. It is generous and authentic. There are some very important landmarks in the vicinity of the hotel. When you need the mobility, the hotel staff members Mr Kerem and Mr Ozan were there to help out with its arrangement. We got some great tips on where to dine and try authentic desserts and food.
The hotel is well located in the old center of Antakya. Our room was very clean, nicely decorated, very comfortable and had a small bathroom with shower. The inner garden of the hotel is very beautiful and you will enjoy a very delicious breakfast. The staff was also very helpful with finding a parking, which is quite difficult in the city center, and was very friendly and hospitable.
This is a boutique hotel - which means in Turkey a historic old building that is renovated and features modern amenities. The breakfast spread is amazing in this place - it starts rather late at 8:30 but oh everything that comes out of the kitchen is superb. I also liked the location - it is just a stone's throw from the main street which is noisy but this place is senere and quiet.
It is on the main heavy traffic thoroughfare, but there is a reserved parking lot for the guests in the back of the hotel. The staff is extremely polite and helpful. The room is decorated with traditional luxury, very atmospheric. You can walk to the main business street and river side. Antakya museum and St. Pierre church is about 2.5 kilometers away.
The location is inside the bazaar - I really loved this. The hotel is in a beautiful old building with a lovely courtyard. My room was big and comfortable with aircon and tea and coffee in the room. The hotel also gave me some halva when I arrived - it was still warm and delicious.
The hotel is fabulous and having best views of the ancient city of Antioch as soon as you walk out of the hotel room is just priceless. Staff was most helpful, room and bedding great, good breakfast and tasty menu at the hotel restaurant made the stay wonderful.
The location of the hotel is perfect if you plan to visit the city center. The staff was very helpful and always with a smile. The rooms were clean and conformable and the breakfast delicious. Thank you to all the staff that made our stay perfect.
A unique hotel that is more an experience than just somewhere you stay comfortably for some days. You can feel the ancient city and feels like walking in it. Everything was fantastic.
Sevgi at the reception was amazing in helping me get a PCR test the day before my flight back to the US. The nurse came to the hotel in the morning and I had my results that night.
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are well decorated and super clean. The location is perfect, it’s at the center of Hatay. We enjoyed our stay a lot.
