My wife and I spent several days here. I like to start out with the good stuff. The location, in old town is great. Walking distance to everything. The hotel. To start, its not a 5 star hotel in any stretch of the imagination. Maybe 3 star at best. Rooms are tiny, nothing fancy here.. No space for any of your personal items in the bathroom on the vanity in the deluxe rooms. switched to a family room (2 beds) and it had much more room.. or as much as you were going to get at this hotel. The rooms were clean. The breakfast was just OK. Nothing special, cold creamy eggs, no sausage, bacon, etc. YES the view is nice! So, in the end, set your expectations down to a 3 star hotel, with some of the smallest rooms you've ever stayed in, and you will be just fine!

It’s a very nice “boutique hotel”! Depending on what one wants or expects, it might not be exactly that. If one wants a larger hotel with fancy lobby and big rooms, this is not it. However, the staff are super friendly, overall very clean and comfortable hotel. It’s within walking distance of some of the best tourist attractions including the Bazaar and famous mosques. Great restaurants and coffee shops. Be aware that this hotel is in an old neighborhood with small roads that might or might not be open to car traffic all the time. Rooftop restaurant and the food was great. Overall, it is a nice hotel if you are not with a family. Rooms are small and some have no windows!

Honestly, this hotel exceeded my expectations in the best way. From the moment we arrived, everything just felt easy and welcoming. The staff were soooo kind, attentive, and very respectful, which is a very important thing to us. The hotel's location is more than perfect. You are practically in the heart of one of the busiest historical areas of Sultanahmet and its surroundings. The tramway and metro are only a few minutes away, so it’s really very easy to reach wherever you wanna go in the easiest way. The room was really clean and spotless, and warm, which is a must in these cold days. The bed was super comfortable, and all the sheets smelled clean. Not to forget, it was really calm, with no cigarette smells, whether in the rooms or on the floors. The breakfast was an open buffet with so many choices. It was way better than we expected. No matter what your option is, whether it is classic Turkish food or simple oatmeal, you will find whatever you like. Overall, it just had a really good vibe. Let’s not forget the gentleness of the employee at the front desk—he even gifted us some very artistic Istanbul postcards. To sum it all up, Demiray Hotel is one of those places you’d happily come back to without even thinking twice. Definitely recommend it if you want a stress-free and enjoyable stay.

We stayed at Demiray Hotel for 4 nights with family and really enjoyed it. The breakfast had great variety and the restaurant view was beautiful. Staff were very friendly and polite throughout our stay. We used the spa for a massage and sauna, which was relaxing, and also visited the swimming pool a couple of times. The location is ideal for Sultanahmet and Eminönü, though after the Grand Bazaar closes it’s a slightly longer walk back. Overall, a great and comfortable stay! Would definitely recommend😊 and would be nice to go back if we have a chance 😊
