CARRA KONAĞI

When traveling through Turkey, first you like are people. The same is here at Carra Conaği. They are fun and helpful. But Carra has more -- the building is very charming in the middle of the old city Mardin. Interior is authentic and unique. Having breakfast or tee at the terrace is breathtaking. Breakfast was amazing. Pure joy.

Since this is authentic old building, one may feel there is not enough space in the corridors, rooms and other spaces. The room we had doesn't have a window with sky view, but wouldn't consider this as a real disadvantage.

Carra Konagi is in a great location in the centre of the old town, in a back street five minutes walk from Cumhuriyet Square. The host Ismail is very hospitable and will do all he can to make you comfortable. Our large double room (Mir 301) was exceptional with three arched windows, the end one looking out over the plain. There was a comfy cushioned area on the floor. It’s worth paying extra for a deluxe room, the other rooms are quite small and cramped. There’s a rooftop terrace with great views - superb for a beer in the evening. And breakfast is delicious with a huge variety of dishes, many home made. Really delicious.

Nothing to dislike, except the deluxe rooms are substantially better.

Breakfast was legendary. It is worth staying here just for breakfast.

Well located, good breakfast.

Staff didn't share complicated parking details until we were caught in terrible traffic in town. It took over an hour to locate the car park. Also no hot water.
