Fodor's Expert Review Otel Büyük Kervansaray

At this attractive 16th-century kervansaray with sandstone walls and vaulted ceilings, rooms are a little dated and on the small side, but you're really paying for the atmosphere and the location. There is a lovely courtyard with a fountain where you can eat dinner or have a drink (unless there's a wedding, which is a frequent occurrence during the summer), and the hotel pool is a welcome sight in Diyarbakır's heat. Rooms on the ground floor don't have air-conditioning, though they tend to stay quite cool even in summer.
