Adana cheap and luxurious hotels, youth hostels and lodging

Hilton Adana is the tallest buildning in town situated close to the river and city center. Looks quite strange in a not that big town to have such a huge Hilton Hotel. Good service, but outdated shampoo and lotion, so maybe they did not have as many guests as they planned. Prices from 100 € (internet) up to whatever.

There are some very cheap hotels near the big mosque. konya hotel, garajlar hotel, normally the price is 15 YTL (7.5 euros) but if you insist they can give you a small room with 10 YTL (5euro). The rooms are clean but there is no heater. You will have to pay for the bath (5 YTL-2.5euro)
