Bilen Otel
A three-star hotel mostly getting good reviews, although some of the rooms are in need of a renovation. Rooms with en-suite bathrooms, satellite TV, and central heating. The downside of the hotel is that it's located in YeniÅehir suburb, i.e. not in the old city.
Basak Hotel
The rooms have mildew on the ceiling, which causes an awful smell that cannot be removed with opened windows. They also have a fan, a TV and a heating that is not working during the night. The shared bathrooms are not so clean read "dirty", with showers providing water that can be described as "warm" at best in summer. Check the windows firstâto see if the crank is not brokenâbefore deciding which room to stay, because it is almost impossible to sleep without an open window in summer months, even when the fan is on. In winter months the temperature can drop a fair bit below 10° in the rooms and the light covers are not sufficient. Rooms facing the street has a lovely view of the minaret across the street. One of the cheapest places to stay in Mardin with a very central location in the old town. If you sleep on the roof teras, you should keep your things locked in the shed so that roaming kids aren't tempted to take anything.
