Fodor's Expert Review Zinciriye Hotel

Two adjacent old houses just below Mardin's landmark Zinciriye Medrese are simple, elegant, and filled with character, with magnificent views from rooms that are comfortable and pleasantly atmospheric but vary greatly in size. The most magnificent room, called the Şark Odasi, or Oriental Room, is a chairless lounge space, with cushions on the floor, and the roof terrace is lovely.
