Üç Su Havuzlu Termal Otel

About Üç Su Havuzlu Termal Otel

Üç Su Havuzlu Termal Otel (also written Üçsu or 3 Su) is a small thermal hotel in the Yenice spa quarter of Kızılcahamam, north of Ankara. The hotel describes itself plainly: not a big hotel and not one with many stars, but a simple, clean, boutique family hotel with 10 rooms and 24 beds. Its name refers to the three kinds of water that rise from Kızılcahamam's red soil: spring water, mineral water and thermal water. What sets it apart is the way it handles its thermal baths. Because there are so few rooms, guests staying at the hotel can have one of the jacuzzi thermal pools reserved for their own family once a day, at a time of their choosing, without paying extra. The private pools are large enough for 10 to 15 people, and each private section covers about 100 square metres, with changing and rest areas, showers, a sauna, traditional washing basins (kurna) and a göbek taşı platform as found in a Turkish bath. The hotel is in the town centre, with on-site parking, and Soğuksu National Park and the picnic areas around it are a few minutes' drive away. Recent traveller reviews describe it as a clean family hotel whose family pool feels more like a private hamam. The hotel's own website has been intermittently unavailable, so it is best to book by phone on +90 312 736 46 16 or through the major Turkish booking sites.
