The humidity in the room, creating a white powder on the walls and falling into the room and our stuff. Lack of light in the bathroom. The ground was a bit sticky (too much soap used maybe)

The place, the quietness, the staff is kind and helpful. It was clean.

We are not used with the debris carved from the rocks / stones.

Nice architecture and good services. Value for money.

Traditional cave style room was interesting but humid.

Nice view from the terrace on the top floor. Breakfast was good.

The only downside was bathroom in our room leaks the water after shower and everywhere gets wet.

The sheets in the bed were too small for the bed and I walk during the night sleeping on the mattress, the shower was very uncomfortable with no curtain and everything looked dirty and broken. The lighting is very poor and there is sand everywhere from the sand stone walls. BTW don’t look under the bed🤐

The location is very good, in the middle of the old city. The receptionist was a very kind girl…

Listing description did not reflect reality: there was no shower (or tub), but there were 2 hamam basins to scoop warm water over yourself. Very authentic Turkish, but not the shower that was promised. Room had a bad sewage smell. Wifi very poor. Room was quite expensive given these defects.

Great location in old town. Lovely restored mansion, beautiful stone carving in our room, nice rooftop terrace, good breakfast. Best part was that staff met us on arrival in the old town to help us park and guide us to hotel, providing help with luggage. Otherwise parking and finding the hotel tucked back in winding alleys would have been an impossible nightmare on our own.

Room are forceful small and dark as it is an historic house. The traffic to reach the location is terrible (and Google maps works very badly in that area)

Central location, fantastic premises

Stayed in April 2024

Breakfast was good. Location of hotel is at the central part of old city. Bed and pillow are comfy. Room and bathroom lighting was too dim. Extremely difficult to find ways to the hotel using navigation. Since hotel does not have parking space, we had to park at another hotel parking and was charged 150tl per night.

Staff doesn’t speak a word of English. Literally nothing at all. This should not be a problem, but if you are staying here make sure you get all infos you need in advance ( recommendations for restaurants, buses to airport or whatever) in advance, as they will not be able to support in English. For Turkish speakers that shouldn’t be a problem ;)

Great value for money

The guesthouse really needs to invest in a generator! There were long periods with no electricity, heat, or WiFi - since data signals could not penetrate the thick stone walls. The single room is right off the check-in area, though excessive noise was never too bad, and a tall person will probably need to sit side-saddle on the toilet as it's facing too close to the sink. Consider these FYI but certainly nothing bad enough to keep me from booking the extra night for a three night stay.

Dara Konagi was a welcomed alternative to Rosa Hostel - which I'd booked and quickly canceled once I saw the nonrefundable facilities. Dara's single room was small but heated up more quickly in the unseasonably cold weather. Some will find it too dark but I thought it was perfect for daytime napping. The facility is a genuine historic structure and not modern built to look like all the cave structures in Göreme. Location is central to all the main attractions, the Turkish breakfast was quite large, and the guesthouse recommends tours with local HGM Turizm Türkiye - a 9-hour excursion for 650TL.

You can have a Turkish breakfast with a great view. A room is a bit dark though, it was clean and shower worked very smoothly. It was comfortable.

The communication was difficult since the staff was not speaking English. The room is advertised with a hot tub but it is not true. All the hottubs have been removed. The rooms have private hamam but without heaters it makes the experience difficult. And there is no other options (no shower, etc). But the building itself is very nice.

Beautiful place with a very nice building. The hamam is nice even without heaters.

The location is through alleys which are not the cleanest as water outlets just flowed out into the alley. Noise, people sat in the courtyard late at night talking on their phones, not sure. If it was staff or guests,, thus disturbing us.

Authentic old style building. Great breakfast.

Slightly limited bathroom.

Delightful old hotel in the side streets of old Mardin. Lovely breakfast on the balcony with great views!

They absolutely need to update the navigation instructions on the website. The property as such is not on any real street, you can only get to it by walking into narrow alley, but GPS thinks it is a street and kept dragging me around while there was actually no way to get directly to it by car. Ideal navigation instruction would be to list a carpark next to Gazi Konagi hotel, because that is precisely where you would need to park your car if you are driving, pay the hotel for it, and the Dara Konagi is then just two minutes walk down the nearest alley from the carpark. The next issue I had was communication, only one of the people operating reception desk had good enough English, when I was circling around not being able to find location, I tried to call them for advice how to get there and person who answered phone kept telling me they don't speak English. I had to rely on kindness of locals to eventually guide me where I needed to be.

The whole property is quite nice, with few terraces and nice greenery, the room might have few loose fittings but loads of character and charm. Decent breakfast provided. Location is right in the center of historical core of the city.

Wonderfull Turkish breakfast with breathtaking view, Room was amazing with Turkish bath. The location in the middle of Mardin is great. The whole atmosfere was like you were 300years back in time, and living in a smallmpalace

The staff were not speaking English, so it was hard to communicate with them. The shower was broken Another point is that if you have your car, you have to pay for another hotel for the parking since there is no parking near the hotel

The location is great, the breakfast was very nice and too much, the staff are great

It is close to everything you need in the city.. very helpful staff… very good price comparing to other places.. very nice view from the main terrace. It is so difficult to find parking place for the car.. but one of the staff members help me to find parking place near by..

Stayed in July 2023

They havent their parking place ;though Omar arranged some place for that. They should correct their location at Maps applications; cuz they are misleading.

I liked their terrace and rapid process of ckeck in. also the location was great inside the old city of Mardin. Omar was very friendly and helpful.

It was amazing,nice price, staff were lovely, specially burcu. Every thing was great,

Though down a back alley it was a great location, easy walk to everything in Old Mardin. The local buses will drop you near to it and its a 3-5 min walk to the hotel.

Stayed in May 2023

Since room is stone with only a small window, it could get very humid inside after a shower or two. Fixtures could use some maintenance.

Beautiful historic property with pleasant terraces, friendly staff, and free breakfast. Situated on a nice quiet pedestrian-only backstreet, but not far from parking and the main commercial street.
