Among my favorite places in a month's tour of Turkiye, Kitapevi is indeed in a special class. Perched above the old city walls, with a gorgeous courtyard garden and excellent restaurant, the hotel is centrally located to the historic sites of old Bursa. I had the good fortune of experiencing the rooftop terrace suite, which was extraordinary. I loved the old furniture (all very comfortable) and especially appreciated having a large desk to work from. The terrace balcony has an unbelievable view of the central mosque, the "cocoon" market and other "Hans". The bed was very comfortable, and there is a lounge kind of daybed in the dressing area outside the shower room. The whole hotel has an ambience you won't easily find elsewhere. This is a one-of-a-kind place to stay.
