Very clean, nice bathrooms. Breakfast is worth the price, it comes with an omelet and a variety of other options. Ishmael was our concierge and he was extremely knowledgeable and competent. The Blue mosque and Hagia Sophia are a 2 minute walk away. Would recommend

Fiquei em um quarto muito amplo com uma ante sala, o banheiro era enorme com um chuveiro maravilhoso, a cama era muito confortável, hotel oferece shampoo, condicionador e outros coisas incluindo ate pantufas. Na recepção são todos muito solícitos, o hotel tem um serviço que leva você no inicio do passeio onde tem acesso a Pamukkale que é onde estão as piscinas termais as ruinas de hierápolis e aos castelos de algodão. É bem próximo o retorno você faz a pé é muito próximo do hotel. Café da manhã com muitas variedades e um ambiente muito agradável.

I would like to start off with a big thank you to Tuncay, Ismail and Ibrahim all of whom made this stay excellent with their brilliant service and friendliness. They were all highly professional and were dedicated to ensuring my stay was the best it could possibly be. The hotel is located just a short distance from the masjids and has a free breakfast on the terrace every morning until 11am. There's a corner shop opposite and plenty of food options locally but be wary of pricing! The hotel comes with en suite and has a hairdryer which was nice. The rooms are spacious and I enjoyed the decor. Ismail was extremely helpful and booked our taxi to the airport and offered information whenever I asked. The only downside is the Tv that came with the room was quite small and was not facing the bed, but other than that I enjoyed every aspect of this hotel and to be honest if you are looking to go to Istanbul, the last thing you will do is watch Tv. However, it would have been nice to be able to connect my fire stick after a long day of walking. The room service was excellent, the bedding smelled fresh and I was happy with the general cleanliness of the place. If you are staying in Istanbul and would like to do all the tourist activities this is the prime location, get yourself an Istanbul kart and you can get around the city pretty easily and visit the grand bazaar or even use the ferry to cross over to the Asian side.

Very convenient for the main tourist sites. Reasonably quiet though it was near a car park which brought some noise but probably a lot quieter than hotels further along the street which were next to late opening restaurants. Staff were friendly and the housekeeping was very good. The shower was excellent with lots of hot water. Overall we would recommend for a stay in this part of Istanbul.

We stayed for two nights and were satisfied with everything. Just five minutes walk from Aya sophia and Blue mosque. Though the street nearby is busy, it’s very safe and quiet because it’s one street away from the property. Staffs respond quickly, and were kind to explain the detail of available tours. Breakfast was amazing too. Enjoyed the local food unlike local-ish foods that some busy restaurant serve in the centre of the sightseeing city.

Superb stay!!
We just got back from Istanbul after a 9 day stay at Darussaade. From start to end our stay at this hotel was nothing but a pleasure. The staff at the front desk, Ismail and Irfan, were efficient, pleasant and very helpful. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable, that we got to where we wanted to go, and inform us of the ins and outs of navigating Istanbul. We booked three tours thru them and each one was superb. In nine days it felt like we were friends. When leaving, we were hugging and promising that we will come back, like we were family. The rest of the staff were just as great. Birgul and Shakeera made sure our room was immaculate and well supplied each day. Mert, Ali, Zahide, and Zahire work on the terrace where breakfast is served. They provided excellent service each morning. Overall, the hotel was a very pleasant stay. It is 5 min walk to the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Jami) and Aya Sofia, therefore, a 5 min walk to the Sultanahmet tram station. Very convenient!! Right accross the street from the hotel is a restaurant, As You Sea Seafood&Kebab, which is excellent. The food is of great quality, unlike some of the restaurants on the busy street further on. Ridwan is the guy who works there. Its a must visit.

Excellent hotel. Location is great, service is exemplary, breakfast is excellent. Room was quite small but had a great view of the Blue Mosque. The external company used for airport transfer was disappointing (hard to find, left us waiting well over an hour, and then turned our private direct ride into a 2hr multi stop odyssey)

Such an amazing hotel. Our room was super big and comfortable. The furniture was classy and elegant. The bed super comfortable. The bathroom modern with a fantastic shower. Breakfast is super good with great variety for all tastes and served from 7 am to 10 am. The location is excellent in the middle of Sultanahmet area. Many restaurants around and a walking distance of most touristic attractions. Also 5 minutes walk from the tram. But the best thing is the staff. Everybody super efficient and polite. We felt at home. Special thanks to Ismail who arranged our transportation from the airport and helped us with additional information.
