Darussaade Hotel staff were very helpful and courteous. The breakfast was very good with different options. The hotel is only five years old so it is very up to date but with a classy look in the room. Shower water pressure was very good. Close to everything. Bed comfort is one of the best of any hotel I traveled to before. I highly recommend it :-).

Darussaade is a charming boutique hotel located in the heart of Sultanahmet, just steps away from iconic landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The rooms are cozy. The staff provides exceptional service, always going the extra mile to ensure guests feel welcomed and well taken care of. Breakfast is a delightful spread of fresh Turkish specialties, served in a lovely dining area.

Staff at Darusaade (especially Ismael) were fantastic, kind and helpful. Breakfast on the roof was very nice and lots of food options. The hotel is basically a 5 minute walk from the tourist sites, you can see Blue Mosque from the windows, and is on "restaurant row" in Sultanahmet. It could be noisy in the early evening at times but otherwise a very pleasant room and stay.

Overall decent space, clean rooms w nice view and excellent breakfast! There is coffee, tea, and water in the rooms, plus a minibar if you're ok to spend extra. They also have airport pickup/dropoff as well as laundry, however they do charge a fee for those services which I was not expecting. They have AC as well, but I'd advise keeping your curtains closed if you really want it to work. The location is close to a lot of attractions, which is great for sightseeing, but I will say it is quite touristy and accordingly things are a lot more expensive. If you're going to eat or do activities, I'd advise taking the tram to a less touristy area.

The location is outstanding and the staff was so supportive and helpful. The terrace has an outstanding view and breakfast was delicious. Lots of amazing food and great coffee, we looked forward to it every morning. The rooms are a little dated and as any old building a lot of creaking but overall a great stay.

We prefer to stay in traditional Ottoman houses around the old city to be close to the best sites. This hotel was that quiet traditional house with few guests and excellent staff. It was not shiny, modern, and glitzy. Everything was great. The only real negative for us was that the room we stayed in looked very different in comparison to the one online during the booking. In the description it said "partial sea view" and we looked at the white wall of the neighboring house 2 feet away from our window. Some guests would also find the TV size pretty inadequate, but at the end of the day, you do not come to Istanbul to watch TV.

My boyfriend and I had a 10 day trip to 6 different cities in Turkey. Out of all the hotels we stayed at (there were 6 of them) this hotel was the best by far. The room was clean, staff helpful, great location, and excellent breakfast. I recommend sitting up on the small terrace balcony and enjoy the view of the Blue Mosque with some Efes from the convenience store across the street. One of our favorite things was that the AC was on 24/7 in our rooms which we hadn’t found at any hotel we’d stayed at. If you’re going to visit Istanbul, just stay here!!!!!!!!!!

Pleasant boutique hotel with amazing location for main tourist sites and places to eat. Room was comfortable and clean, with all expected amenities. Reception staff were helpful and arranged airport transfers to and from. Breakfast was tasty too, with stunning view of the Blue Mosque from the outdoor terrace
