Hotel Overview : Erdoba KonaklariThe Erdoba are indeeda?konaklari,a? or mansions, restored to their full glory by two young businessmen last spring. The upper complex is on Mardina??s main street, the lower is 100 meters a way, a 5-minute walk into the bazaar. The upper complex has 15 new rooms connected to the lobby, a 120-seat inside restaurant, meeting rooms and a terrace restaurant with a view across the Mesopotamian plains into Syria. But, book the lower complex if you can. There, you will find 16 palatial rooms, some bigger than apartments Ia??ve lived in, on two levels. When wealthy merchants- first Jews, then Armenians- owned the mansions, their families lived upstairs, said co-owner Mufit Gozu. On the bottom floor, servants would greet and refresh guests. Those who arrived late would sneak in a back door, and the hosts would keep everyone waiting in separate areas, then join the two groups so that no one would know who was late- exceedingly bad manners in Ottoman times, Gozu said. The rooms are just as they were in the 1870s. All have vaulted ceilings rising perhaps 30 feet above the shining wood and marble floors. Much of the stonework is elaborately carved, especially the niches where there were once recessed fountains. The only drawback to living like a pasha is that true to its 19thcentury origins, the Erdobaa??s lower complex doesna??t have in-room bathrooms. a?We could make more money by altering the rooms. But we wanted to restore it to its original glory,a? Gozu said. a?Just the way we opened it now takes you back 100 years.a? Ita??s worth having to walk a few steps to extremely well appointed showers and restrooms there also is no air conditioning in the lower complex, but you dona??t need it when you have stonewalls two meters thick. The upper rooms - in modern buildings on either side of a lighted walkway- also are nicely furnished, air conditioned with private baths. But theya??re a bit claustrophobic after you stayed in one of the suites. Either way, your stay will not cost you more than the equivalent of $50 per night! Breakfast is included- the typical Turkish fare of cheese, olives, bread and tea, though you can get eggs and coffee, if you wish. The main kitchen doesna??t offer meals unless a group is in. So you may have to dine out. But be sure to take tea out on the balcony. The Erdoba doesna??t sell alcohol because the buildings are leased from the municipality. |

Mardin is an enchanted town - an old Middle Eastern labyrinth full of secrets and surprises. The houses, built in tiers on the side of a steep mountain, look more like castles than homes: they are usually large enough for a family of several dozen. Modernity has made its inroads; but not yet deep enough to destroy the spirit of a town which should not have changed too much in 4000 years. Erdoba is the first serious attempt to convert the old houses of Mardin to tourist use. It comprises two historic houses. The main one has some impressive common rooms, but is otherwise rather routine. The sec Read more about Erdoba Konaklari Hotel Mardin
