The Erdoba is made up of two 1870s mansions that have been fully restored. The hotel has a restaurant within the complex, but it only cooks meals when serving groups, and traditional Turkish breakfast is included in the price. Rooms in the lower section, though nicer, don't come with air-conditioning. Bathrooms are not in the room, but they are only a few steps away. The upper rooms come with private baths, but are smaller and not as grand. The hotel is centrally located with many attractions, including the 6th-century Mor Behirmiz Church and Sheikh Çabuk Mosque, which are less than a 15-minute walk away.
Artuklu Kervansarayi is in a historical building in the center of the city with a restaurant that serves traditional cuisine and has a large sun terrace. The rooms have stone walls and hardwood floors and come with their own private bathroom. The rooms have air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, minibar and TV. The 24-hour front desk can provide valuable information on local attractions.
The Yay Grand is centrally located within the city and is one of the larger hotels with 105 rooms. It has an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a Turkish bath, gym, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and satellite TV. It has a more contemporary atmosphere than some of the smaller hotels in the city, such as the Erdoba Konaklari. The rooms come with a private bathroom and buffet style breakfast is included.
