Rumetpaşakonağı

Great location in old city, accessible parking very close to hotel. Short walk through laneways to the main area above where there are plenty of places to eat and historic sites to explore. The hotel building is 700 years old and recently renovated very tastefully. We were met by friendly welcoming staff, one of whom gave us a very useful overview of the hotel’s history, and information about the sites in the area, including recommendations for how to see them on foot. We had the King Suite which was beautifully decorated and extremely spacious, and even included a second bedroom in a cave. A pleasant breakfast was served at our table.

Water took a while to get hot when having a shower. No problem to wait but wastes water.

Hôtel de charme sur plusieurs niveaux mais le personnel se charge de vos bagages. Ce qui pourrait être un inconvénient se révèle un plus. Petit-déjeuner en terrasse face à la plaine de l'Euphrate. Quel plaisir ! Le stationnement aisé ce qui n'est pas évident dans cette ville reine des escaliers. Les conseils de tout ordre dispensés avec gentillesse.

Wonderful hospitality in the heart of old Mardin What made my stay at Rumet Paşa Konağı particularly memorable was the warmth and genuine hospitality of the people. The young men at reception were always friendly, courteous and ready to help, and there was a real sense that they wanted their guests to feel welcome and comfortable. The owner, Nuh Yıldırım, deserves a special mention. He contacted me soon after I made my booking to welcome me to Mardin and offer his assistance. He personally collected me from the airport, took me on a fascinating walking tour through old Mardin, and was always only a WhatsApp message away whenever I had a question or needed help. When I left, he even took me to the bus station and made sure that I was safely on the correct bus. Nuh has an extensive knowledge of Mardin and clearly loves his city and enjoys sharing it with his guests. His personal attention added enormously to my experience of Mardin. My room was comfortable and clean, in a traditional Mardin stone building full of character. Breakfast was a generous traditional Turkish breakfast, and the staff were even happy to take individual preferences into account.

A useful note for future visitors: Rumet Paşa Konağı is tucked away in the historic hillside town, a little removed from the main street. Old Mardin is built on a steep slope, with narrow lanes and many steps, so exploring the town inevitably involves some climbing. A real advantage of the hotel’s location, however, is that it can be reached directly by car. Taxis can therefore pick you up and drop you off at the hotel, and the staff are always willing to arrange one and to help with your luggage. If steep steps are not your thing, this makes getting around much easier. For me, the location and the steps simply became part of the authentic Mardin experience.

Parkplatz in der nähe, das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit, Zimmer grösse war sehr gut. Das Frühstück und Aussicht war Top. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in 15 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar.
