It is located in Beydiğin Neighborhood of Antalya's Manavgat District, on the old trade route connecting the Central Anatolia Region to the Mediterranean Region. The inn, which has no inscription, is dated to the period of the Anatolian Seljuk Sultan Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev (1236-1246) according to its architectural style. Surrounded by thick outer walls, the inn consists of a rectangular covered section extending east-west in the north, and open and closed cells around a square open courtyard in the south. The covered section and the cells to the west of the courtyard are divided into two naves by square piers. The main hall and the other cells are covered with vaults. The monumental portal located in the middle of the south outer wall opens to the courtyard. The monumental portal, projecting from the outer walls in a rectangular form, is unique. Within the pointed-arch opening in the form of an iwan is the low-arched entrance door.
