Great hotel in really convenient location. The customer service takes them to another level, from the welcome tea on arrival to the surprise extras (for birthday) and gifts on departure, truly a wonderful experience.
Great location, super courteous staff, tasty and varied breakfast buffet with a beautiful view on the terrace! Also very tasteful decor. Would definitely stay there again!
Breakfast was amazing.
Ilhan was great offering many suggestions.
Mensure makes a great breakfast and provides great service.
Next time I am in Istanbul I will stay there again.
Thanks to the entire staff.
Everyone was friendly and helpful. Check in was smooth. Front desk staff were great. Lovely breakfast including made to order omelets. Rooms were very nice. Hotel was in good location.
Lovely decorated hotel in a perfect location. Walking distance to all the touristy spots u want to see your first time in Istanbul. Close to tram as well. Excellent hotel staff. Great buffet breakfast. Highly recommend
In a beautiful old Turkish house, this hotel provides comfortable and well appointed rooms in an old-fashioned style fitting the building period the staff could not have been more helpful period. Lovely rooftop, indoor/outdoor restaurant.
Everything about this Turkish styled hotel was great. The staff and breakfast were great. The location was perfect, just a couple of minutes walk from the manic/amazing old town. The terrace was lovely and peaceful at night to relax and look at the blue mosque. Our room was great with a Turkish bath style bathroom. We'd highly recommend
I highly recommend staying at the Dersaadet Hotel. It offers an incredibly convenient location just behind the Blue Mosque, along with charming rooms that transport you back in time while remaining spotless and fully functional. On top of that, it has one of the friendliest receptions I’ve ever experienced in any hotel.
Staying there felt a bit like visiting enthusiastic distant relatives: I was welcomed with hot tea and a Turkish delight on a very cold and snowy day, which alone made my day. A small welcome gift in the room was also a nice touch. I didn’t ask, but it felt like a family-run business—everyone working at the hotel was warm and friendly, both with guests and with each other, creating a genuinely positive atmosphere.
All of this was topped off the next morning by a truly delicious Turkish breakfast on the rooftop. I would definitely not hesitate to return the next time I’m in Istanbul.
Stayed 7 nights, happy with our choice of the hotel. Staff very friendly and responsive, very good breakfast on roof top restaurant with great view of the Blue Mosque and the Bosphorus. Location ideal for most important Old Town sights.
The staff was very nice and had delicious apple tea upon my arrival. They were very accommodating and even coordinated my airport pickup and drop off. I was surprised to find a personal note and a small souvenir when i entered my hotel room. The hotel was also walking distance to the hagia sophia and Blue Mosque. I really felt at home. I would stay here again. Thanks so much!
Located within walking distance to The Blue Mosque, as well as plenty of shopping. The staff was great. There is a beautiful rooftop bar that we didn't want to leave. They also hold their breakfast buffet up there. This was our first trip to Istanbul, but I wouldn't hesitate to return to The Dersaadet

We received a complimentary upgrade to a beautiful corner suite with views looking out to the Sea of Marmara. Bountiful breakfast each morning on the rooftop terrace with seagulls soaring above. Friendly and hospitable hosts. Walking distance to Sultanhamet Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace and Sultanhamet Square T1 Tram Stop. Truly an authentic and exceptional hotel.
