Staying in Van
Van has accommodation for every budget, from upscale hotels to boutique hotels and simple guesthouses.
Which area?
- City centre (around Cumhuriyet Avenue): Walking distance to shops, breakfast houses, restaurants and transport. The most practical choice for first-time visitors.
- Lakeside and Edremit: Quiet with great views, close to Akdamar Island and the beaches. Ideal for summer holidays.
- Near the airport: Convenient for short stays and early flights.
Choosing a hotel
- Demand rises during Nowruz, public holidays and summer, so book early.
- Ask whether breakfast is included. Hotel breakfasts in Van are generous too.
- Confirm parking, airport transfers and language support (Persian/English) in advance.
