It is a lovely place as a budget hotel with wifi, tv, bathroom inside, and even air conditional(which works well, means i can stay here in summer also) in such a place during my whole trip. The room was very clean. 35TL for a single, u might barging until 30 i guess.
Diyarbakir is a nice city, not as its impression in the News.

The staff asked Omer was accompanying me to ATM in the night (for protection).
He became my guide since that night.
He is a nice guy speaking English, french(which i speaks with him in this 2 languages.) and also russian.
As he told me, he was not well educated, but during his working with tourist at the western side of turkey, he started to learn these language and managed to speak fluently while he is also working in other place in the city at same time.
If you don;t have enough time, or u r concerned about the safety in diyarbakir for founding someplace in a narrow alley, this guild is highly recommended.

Hotel Surkent has been a great base during our short visit in Diyarbakir due to its location within the old city. It is a nice place for the low budget traveler.
Our two-bed room in the second floor was quiet, nice and warm. Of course there was a TV in the room and even free Wi-fi.

Since the staff does not speak English they called up Omar, a travel-guide for Diyarbakir/Diyarbakir region and served us delicious çay while we waited.
Asking for Omar to be your guide in Diyarbakir is highly recommended! He speaks Turkish, Kurdish, English and French and is certainly a kindhearted person - everyone in the city seems to know him.
Unfortunately we didn't have a lot of time but we got to see quite a few of the city's great sights thanks to Omar. He definitely has the ability to quickly put together a great tour that works for you and your interests. If you wanted to learn more about the history around Diyarbakir and visit the smaller villages he could guide you there as well!
Visiting cities is not always just about the sights, it's also about the people you meet. After a tour with Omar you will not only be happy about all of the historic buildings and sights you've seen, you'll also have at least one new friend in Diyarbakir.

Hotel Surkent is situated within the old city and very suitable if you want to visit Diyarbakir. The rooms are simple (two beds -always twins-, a coat-hook, a bedside table, a TV) and not verry big, but very clean and have joyfull colours (i.e. pink walls, orange curtains and pink flowery bed sheets). The bathrooms are very clean too.

The Hotel has 4 floors, a narrow staircase an no lift but verry helpull staff which will help you carrying your luggage.

The room prices are 45TL for a double room and you can have breakfast for 5TL extra per person.

The staff at the hotel is very nice and helpfull. If you want a guided tour by english-speaking locals just ask for Omar and his friends (if they do not get in touch with you anyway) at the reception desk. They offer very nice guided tours for around 60TL (approx. 25€) per day and guide, which enable you to discover numerous cafés, churches, mosques and little streets you would never have found by yourself.
