Darussaade Istanbul

Cons- Poor AC in some rooms, carpet is old and unclean, water in shower drains extremely slowly. rooms are so close you can hear neighbors sniff/fart/nosiy. disappointing service from front desk. Pros- good location and close to center/ sultanahmet site seeing area. good breakfast menu. I am giving 2 stars for these two positive aspects. I arrived around 11 am and was told if I got checked into room at that early check-in hour I would have to move to another room on 3rd night. so I just decided to wait till usual check in around 2pm. I was given a room on the top floor and AC did not work at all even after 1/2 hour and it was so so hot the front desk person Ismail said all his rooms were taken. I was so uncomfortable I was ready to check into another hotel! then he finally obliged and put me in a slightly better room on a lower floor with AC actually working. this room was much better. water in shower drained extremely slowly. Don't book taxi service with hotel- the quoted prices were more expensive than street prices.

Excellent servicr, great location and staff is the best! Just the breakfast needs improvement, but overall very nice and convenient hotel

The location is amazing. Many of the historic attractions are at walking distance. Breakfast is excellent with an amazing view.

Excellent locatio. Close to pretty much all the locations. Very friendly staff and the breakfast is great. Rooms are clean and good sized. Will stay here again.
