Breakfast buffet was mid. Items constantly ran low and we had to keep asking for more basic things like bread or Nutella spread. Fruit was bruised and often not fresh. We finally made a big stink about soft apples w bruise marks and they brought up ripe ones right away. It was appreciated but the feeling we got was not one of abundance but rather “good enough”. Views, location, comfort of the beds, water pressure & friendliness of the staff were 10/10.

Very well managed and clean hotel with great staff. Easy to find and a good location for exploring the old city, as well as beyond. Great buffet breakfast served on the top floor with good views. There are many restaurants nearby; Dubb Ethnic was by far the best for quality and variety of food and was a three minute walk from Darussaade.

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.

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 The rooms are small and outdated but extremely clean.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.

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.

Outstanding place to stay

Special class in every way. Given a room upgrade without asking because they had it available. Excellent location, close to Hagia Sophia & Blue Mosque. Delicious daily breakfast. Excellent staff (Mr. Irhan & Mr. Ismail in particular) and wait staff. Hotel is clean and well kept. Our bed was very comfortable and we slept soundly. A great stay!

The lobby of the hotel is beautiful, I am not sure if it was the room I stayed, but both cleanness and construction were ver poor. Walls were w/ significant cracks, in the bathroom it was the worst. Room I stayed w/ significant dust, especially front of the windows where the beds are located. Cleanness usually is a good trait of people in Turkey, I was surprised this poor cleanness in the room. Staff is kind, breakfast is good. They have to take care of the rooms like the way they do the hotel lobby. I would not chose this hotel again.

If you have elderly persons or persons with mobility issues the walk up the hill to the blue mosque may not be for them but if not you are there in under 10 minutes with easy access to the main transportation links including the hop on hop off bus.

The rooms were a bit small but since we booked 3 connected by an hallway, all for our family, so it worked out. But what really bothered me was the motion sensor on the lights in the hallway. It was our area where we kept luggage and the light kept going off every few seconds. I asked the staff to turn off the timer or delay the time to every 20 minutes or so but it never changed. That really made our packing and every day organizing in that area hard.

Also, breakfast seem very basic. I wish they had an option to update to traditional breakfast spread. But for the price we paid, it seem like a very decent place and location was unbeatable. You can also catch a view of blue mosque from rooftop! Overall good facility and helpful staff.

Its a beautiful little hotel located in the heart of SultanAhmet district where all big istanbul attractions are at walking distances and probably 50 restaurants at 1 to 10 mins walk. Their breakfasts were pretty decent with a beautiful views looking at the ocean from their terrace.

Decent hotel close to Blue Mosque and Hagi Sofia

A good choice if you want to be close to the major tourist spots in Istanbul Old Town. About 10 mins walk from Tram stop but plenty to do in walking distance. Room good size and comfortable bed. Unfortunately air con only on heat mode so room rather warm at night. Breakfast selection pretty good, although no meusli or yoghurt which was a bit surprising. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend it.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!

Quiet hotel close to the main attractions

Had a very friendly welcome with a cup of tea.

The room was on the ground floor and could have been used with the adjoining room for a family as there was a private lobby between the two rooms. The room was quiet as didn't face the adjoining road which was busy. The breakfast was varied each day and they would make an omelette for you on request.

A good location for restaurants and visiting the main attractions. There were long queues at some of the attractions so we used the Istanbul epass which meant you jumped the queues.

Would use the hotel again.
