There is only limited accommodation in Mardin, most of it upscale. Over public holidays and Easter it can bedifficult to find a room unless you book ahead.
Erdoba Konakları
The “Erdoba Mansions” are a boutique hotel in a growing collection of restored buildings grouped just south of the post office (postane) on the main street. The finest house, down several levels of steps, has rooms that look out over the magnificent panorama of the Mesopotamian Plain. The lounge in the main building on the high street is covered in intricate stone carving—it’s a great place to relax over a beer. Bedroom décordoesn’t always live up to the splendor of the buildings.
Artuklu Kervansaray
East of the post office a restored caravanserai has been converted into a boutique hotel with attractively decorated bedrooms and public areas. The on-site restaurant offers a fairly limited menu when no tour groups are expected.
Büyük Mardin Hotel
This modern high-rise hotel just outside the old town makes tiny nods towards Mardin’s traditional architecture. However, it offers fine views over old Mardin.
Tatlıdede Hotel
The latest boutique hotel to open in Mardin, the Tatlidere is in a beautifully restored mansion with attractively decorated rooms and fine views over the Mesopotamian Plain. It’s close to the market, so white donkeys pass by at regular intervals.
