Great hotel and location perfect if you want to be in the Sultanahmet/old city area. Walking distance to all the major sites. Staff was professional, extremely friendly and the service was top notch. Great rooftop view of the Bosphorus Stait. I highly recommend Demiray Hotel.

"Kudos to Selim, Mert, and Sezai for their exceptional service and dedication! They went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. Their attention to detail and insider knowledge were invaluable, far surpassing our own research. Their guidance made navigating the city a breeze. We're grateful for their support and enthusiasm. These three individuals truly made our Istanbul experience special. We look forward to our next visit and hope to see them again!

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 😊

This is a nice 4-star hotel, but definitely not a 5-star like how it is rated. They said the Turkish government gave them 5 stars so clearly Turkish standards are much lower. Expedia needs to be transparent about who rates the properties for stars. The staff were friendly. The place was clean. Bathrooms seem to be newly renovated. Breakfast was ok but definitely not 5-star. There was an abandoned building missing windows that was our view from our room.

The hotel was willing to extend my original 3 night stay by and extra night at a discount and keep me in the same room. Location is great as it is walking distance to many restaurants and the major attractions such as Topkapi Palace, etc. The staff could do a little better with grasp of some english. My housekeeper was excellent. Breakfast options are okay.

OK stay.

Positives - Room is clean and they have a really good Turkish breakfast. Nice people work there. The area is quiet at night. Good if you are visiting the Sultanahnet area. But the downside is the location - once the market closes its practically a ghost town. There is a door to the bathroom but there is no door to close the shower. A fault in design perhaps? Also, I did not like the fact that hotel used my passport number as the WiFi code - massive breach of privacy, and contra GDPR if in Europe. The hotel is rated as a 4 star but I would say it's more of a good 3 star hotel.

The location is in the 'garment district' which really means 'women's underwear district'. The shops in the immediate proximity of the hotel are only open during the day and not anything you'd shop at. But it's only 2 blocks from the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market and a few blocks from Sultanahmet so it's a great place to base your day activities and still let you return to get some rest or drop off your purchases. The breakfast is possibly the best I've ever experienced. They have American, European and truly Turkish breakfast options. (American = eggs and sausage and pastries, European = cold cuts and yogurt and pastry, Turkish = olives, vegetables, fruit, cheese and bread). It's an amazing experience and the restaurant has a panoramic view of the north shore of the golden horn and with views of Suleymaniye mosque and Hagia Sophia. Quite a way to start the day! Rooms are clean and well appointed. Staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely would stay here again without hesitation.
