Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality
It belongs to the group of single-courtyard, two-storey inns within Ottoman inn architecture. Bringing together many features of classical Ottoman inn architecture, the work was built in two sections, namely a soapworks and an inn. The spaces on the upper floor of both sections were built for travelers to stay in.

Although the soapworks and the inn each have an independent main entrance gate, they are connected to each other by an intermediate passage on the second floor. With this plan feature, it is unique among the inns in Gaziantep. On the ground floor of the inn, around an almost square open courtyard inside, various spaces are arranged, while on the front facade there are single-storey shops opening outward.

Behind the spaces on the east is a two-part stable. The soapworks section surrounds the inner courtyard, which has a slightly irregular rectangular plan, with a portico on the north and east sides, and the other spaces also open onto this volume. The top of the courtyard was covered with tiles from above so that the soapworks would be cleaner.

Having undergone various restorations, the building is currently used as a place with cafes and shops selling local products.
