We had a wonderful stay at Maridin Hotel on our mum-daughter trip to Mardin which was to celebrate my daughter's graduation and my birthday. The reason I wanted to stay here was it's location on the less crowded side of the street 1 and beautiful pictures/videos on instagram (pictures don't do justice to it's actual beauty and feel) Thanks to everyone who work here, their welcome and hospitality made our stay very comfortable and memorable. Their enthusiasm and attentiveness deserve a payrise! We reached there just before midnight our airport transfer was arranged by the hotel, check in was swift and bags were taken to our room straight away, we stayed in a standard twin room, (Mum-daughter) the room is spacious, everything was impeccably clean, spacious shower room, hot showers anytime, the bed was comfortable so, (slept like a baby- or more like their sleep deprived mum!) AC worked well, good soundproofing, no noise from outside or any other disturbance, blackout curtains, the room was cleaned daily everything was perfect (everything was impeccably clean, ignore all the old reviews) Breakfast was served in a courtyard, fresh and delicious regional food presented beautifully by Husayn and Merve. I would like to thank everyone, some of the names I saved are Ahmed, Gokhan, Mehmet, Seda, Merve, Husayn, Bahar, Savaş, two similar looking brothers, the guy who came up to help with window and most of all Firat, who replied to any questions I had regarding booking and had our transfer arraged at a reasonable price which was my main concern as the ones I found online quoted ridiculous amount. The First (and lasting) impressions of the building. This hotel is not just an average renovation of any old building it's a masterpiece of restoration (everyone involved- ellinize sağlik) the doors, the keys, (impressive keys) antique furniture, interesting artwork display and the ceilings, stairs, courtyard, terrace, all adds to it's palatial grandeur. Views from the terrace are so captivating I didn't want to go anywhere else! if there was a swing on the terrace I would have spent most of my time there! (Maybe next time) No faults found, everything was excellent.
