We booked 8 nights in November, 2009, with this small hotel. It was everything that others have praised. The staff, front desk and breakfast room personnel, were always helpful and more than kind. Twice we started days very early. Nevertheless, the Hotel arranged for us to have a complete breakfast buffet. The breakfast buffet is a great way to start... more

Four friends and I stayed six nights at the Darussaade and found it to be a comfortable and ideal base for exploring Istanbul. The staff really is exceptional, the restored Ottoman mansion was lovely, the breakfast buffet was a great start to the day, and the location is so, so convenient to the major historic sites in Sultanahmet and to... more

Very nice authentic hotel, friendly staff, we are coming back for sure! The hotel is in a traditional wooden building so rooms are not that big, but you are coming here for the experience. Breakfast is very good - there is a wide range of Turkish delicacies next to continental items. more

We spent 5 nights at the Darussaade last week. We can recommend this hotel highly as our first two nights reservation had not been recorded and the staff and owner handled what could have been a total fiasco in a very professional manner and to our total satisfaction. The staff are friendly, courteous, professional and kind. The rooms are very... more

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and found the hotel to be even better than we had expected. Staff spoke great English and gave us great tips and advice about Istanbul (they did a great job explaining public transport on our first day). The room was small but very clean and newly remodeled. Bed was very comfortable... more

i stayed at this hotel in september 2009. I loved the great location and the nice, clean and safe neighborhood. In 5 minutes walk you reach major sightseeing attraction as well as the metro / tram.

We stayed for 6 nights and everything was perfect. The staff had upgraded us from a double room to a suite at no extra cost and our son had an excellent single room with a lovely light bathroom. The renovation had been excellently done and the rooms were airy and comfortable as well as being sympathetically decorated. Staff were excellent... more

We spent only 3 nights in Istanbul so we decided to treat ourselves and booked at the Darussaade even if it was a bit over budget for us. I guess the building itself played a part in our choice. And what a perfect choice!! What to say, everything was perfect, fantastic rooms and the staff makes you feel home. more
