This is our second time staying in this hotel. We loved our first stay. So, we came back. It was great again! Our favorites are the location, breakfast and staff. They are very polite and helpful. It’s a lovely little place with an amazing breakfast view towards the sea. I suggest it to anyone that wants to enjoy the heart of Istanbul, Sulthanahmet.

This is such an old property that you can easily feel the smell of old overused carpet that is not unpleasant. The breakfast was scheduled between 7-10AM, the kitchen traam came to our table right at 10 and give us only 2 minute to leave the table, worse than a military zone. Not recommend to anyone.

Excellent location, helpful and professional staff, exceptional breakfasts. The bathroom could use attention and an update--otherwise highly recommend for proximity to the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Cagaloglu Hamami... and more. Just minutes away. It was my first visit to Istanbul. Traveling solo. Perfect spot.

Excellent stay. The room and bed were comfortable. Reception kindly moved us to a higher floor and upgraded my room at no charge. They were super flexible and accommodating. Great location. Delicious breakfast buffet. The electricity was a bit finicky- got oveloaded easily and flicked on and off a few times.

The hospitality at the reception was extremely friendly and helpful. Ismail helped us book all our tours and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. The hotel’s location is very convenient to the main attractions in the area. The rooms are small and outdated but extremely clean. Breakfast on the roof top was adequate and had a nice view of the Blue mosque. Overall, we really enjoyed our 5 stay at the Darussaade hotel.

I am originally from the U.S. and my wife is from Ukraine. On September 15, 2017 we each flew from our home countries to Istanbul to meet for the first time. We stayed at this hotel for a week. We returned here last week to celebrate the 8 year anniversary of our first meeting. The hotel was just as I remembered...perfect! The location is excellent, the room outstanding, and the best feature was and still is the staff. Thanks for making our stay so wonderful...again.

I strongly recommend this hotel for either a couple or a family trip. Nice and clean; the breakfast was included in my reservation with variety of Turkish dishes. Breakfast is served on the top roof with nice view. The staff at the reception as well as at the restaurant were very friendly. We spent 5 gorgeous nights and enjoyed our trip.

Beautiful quaint antique hotel! We did not want a modern hotel and this hotel won us over with its charm. We opted for a deluxe room for the extra gold curtains! Friendly staff, room above the alley was quiet. Walkable to old city tourist attractions. Good rooftop breakfast buffet that changes daily with lovely views of Blue Mosque and the ocean. Coffee shop downstairs has a solid espresso. It is an old building so the wooden floors creak and occasionally hot water is sparse. Good AC, corner store and nice seafood restaurant across the street. The suggested airport shuttle was a good call. Front desk helpful with transit planning. Would recommend and would stay again.
