The Conforium Hotel Van

It's a good place to stay in and rest. The staff are very professional and polite. The breakfast was decent but not 5star worthy. The accessibility of the place is also great. Restaurants, cafes, pharmacy, boutiques and more are all in walking distance. The rooms were clean and sanitary but the equipment can benefit from maintenance or upgrade. All in all a satisfactory accommodation.

The room size was good. It was a bit strange that no fried or scrambled eggs were served for breakfast. However, overall, I liked the hotel and felt safe and relaxed. The massage service, performed by a very professional Thai lady named Sosi, completely took away the fatigue of the trip. The staff were very friendly and polite.

The hotel was okay overall, but definitely not a real 5-star experience. On the positive side, the reception staff were friendly and helpful. Also, the coffee and the café spot were actually quite nice. Good view of Van castle. Some of the rooms needed maintenance, and the location wasn’t ideal—right next to two busy roads and directly across from a mosque, so it could get quite noisy. One major issue was that my room door didn’t lock automatically—you had to double check to make sure it was actually locked, which didn’t feel very safe. We mainly chose this hotel for the pool and spa, but that turned out to be a disappointment. The pool was small, cold, and poorly maintained. The sauna and bathroom areas were dirty, and there weren’t even any towels provided. It really felt like they just added these facilities to meet a requirement, not for actual use. Breakfast was very average—not what you’d expect from a 5-star hotel. It was the same every morning with no variety, and the staff seemed annoyed when we asked for something 😅
