Amazing property- a mansion with about 6 rooms, really pretty and characteristic. Very close to the old city of Mardin. Nice terrace to have tea and coffee and view the valley. Zuhal and Lokman were amazing hosts and they looked after us so well, especially after the accident my friend had and hurt her foot in the city. They arranged a car for the hospital and back and made sure we were looked after. Thank you once again Lokman and Zuhal.

The hotel is clean. the staff were so helpful. A nice breakfast with a great view from the terrace. You need to go through alleys and take many stairs to get to the center, however, you will find those historical lanes unique and enjoyable.

Gorgeously restored local building, lovingly curated by owner. Staff lovely, food just spectacular

There are certain hotels, like the Amandari in Ubud or the Riad Fes of Relais & Châteaux in Fez that embody the soul of a place so perfectly that one almost never wants to leave the hotel, regardless of how beautiful it is outside. These hotels stay with you long after you leave. Mardius Tarihi Konak is such a hotel. It is in a different league compared to any other hotel in the region. It is a gem. The standard of excellence in Mardius is set with nothing other than the owner's genuine desire to welcome you into their childhood home, and to host you like a guest would have been hosted in their home, some many years ago by their grandparents. This genuine desire is what sets Mardius apart from every other hotel we have ever stayed in. It is apparent in every aspect of the hotel, from the beautifully designed and appointed rooms, to the impeccable service provided by the ever attentive staff. Mardius is not just a hotel, it is an experience; utterly unique and authentic. Our room at Mardius was furnished with a locally made ornate wooden armoire, a writing desk, a sofa upholstered in a lush sateen and a King size comfortable bed. All lines, sheets and towels were from the Turkish luxury brand Haremlique. Outside on the terrace, we could lie on wooden beds with soft cushions, and watch the sun setting over the wide open plains of mesopotamia while sipping freshly brewed crimson turkish tea. Staff was always there, to assist us in whatever we needed in Mardin. Breakfasts were feasts; every item purchased directly from the local producers and served with bread baked on site fresh every morning. When you are there, definitely, ask to have dinner. It was, without doubt, the best food we have had in the region. Each and every dish was so delicious that writing about it now, my mouth waters. You must of course go to Mardin. But you must definitely go to Mardius. You will not want to leave it. And when you leave, you would want to go back.

Very nice building and authentic hotel. The personnel was very kind and they upgraded our room. We enjoyed a lot our stay. The area of the hotel is very central and convenient. Good breakfast with very polite personnel.

Only The Breakfast was Not Good

You can feel the history in the house it is amazing. Also the terrace and the view are probably unmatched in Mardin. To have tea or breakfast there is a dream. Owner and staff are really kind. Felt very welcome

This was definitely the best stay of our trip to southeastern Turkey (Şanlıurfa, Gaziantep, Mardin). Our room was very spacious and clean. There was no real window, but this wasn’t a problem — it actually added to the charm. It felt like staying in a (luxurious) castle dungeon! You can tell that the owner puts great care into every detail of the property. He is also very kind and helpful to his guests, often taking the time to share thoughtful advice on what to see in and around town. His English was not perfect — and neither is ours, as we are not native speakers — but it was much better than in most other places we stayed. We could easily communicate without using translation apps. Due to a misunderstanding, we were accidentally charged twice for the room, but the owner resolved the issue very promptly and with great professionalism. We had breakfast — which was very nice — on the lower terrace. The view from there is partially blocked, but still quite pleasant. There are two more terraces with a broader view over the plains of Mesopotamia. The location is very convenient for those traveling by car. There is free parking near a church less than 100 meters from the hotel. The city center is also within walking distance — about 10 to 15 minutes. The walk includes quite a few steps and uphill narrow lanes, but we enjoy walking, so this was no issue for us. It might be challenging for people with reduced mobility, though. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. We hope to return someday to enjoy it all over again — and to visit the places we didn’t have time to see.

Clean room and spacious with really friendly and helpful staff. The view was amazing and the atmosphere was just what we wanted from our stay in Mardin.
