Super friendly and helpful staff, room and generally around the hotel nice and clean. Great view from the restaurant.
I wouldn't say this felt like a 5* hotel, maybe a 4* and location made it difficult to get cabs.
Doesn’t like much outside but you step inside to the most beautiful lobby and helpful staff. A porter to help with luggage. Connecting Family Rooms - great. Bathroom sink a little small but sufficient. Room size was ok.
Restaurant food and views amazing!!!
On top of a hill. Kinda hard to get too even by car. Most major attractions are walking distance about 10 minutes.
Pool - sucks - too deep for non-swimmers. There’s no shallow to deep end. It’s all one level and you need a swimming cap to use pool.
The Spa area is nice and clean and quiet.
My wife and I spent several days here. I like to start out with the good stuff. The location, in old town is great. Walking distance to everything. The hotel. To start, its not a 5 star hotel in any stretch of the imagination. Maybe 3 star at best. Rooms are tiny, nothing fancy here.. No space for any of your personal items in the bathroom on the vanity in the deluxe rooms. switched to a family room (2 beds) and it had much more room.. or as much as you were going to get at this hotel. The rooms were clean. The breakfast was just OK. Nothing special, cold creamy eggs, no sausage, bacon, etc. YES the view is nice! So, in the end, set your expectations down to a 3 star hotel, with some of the smallest rooms you've ever stayed in, and you will be just fine!
Very nice hotel in a great location. Ten - fifteen minute walk to many of the major tourists sites in Istanbul. Beautiful rooftop dining area. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant staff provided excellent service. I would definitely stay there the next time I visit Istanbul.
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.
The Demiray is located walking distance to many Old Town sites. The staff are friendly and attentive. The upstairs cafe for breakfast is excellent and the view is incredible. Highly recommend staying here!
It’s a very nice “boutique hotel”! Depending on what one wants or expects, it might not be exactly that. If one wants a larger hotel with fancy lobby and big rooms, this is not it. However, the staff are super friendly, overall very clean and comfortable hotel. It’s within walking distance of some of the best tourist attractions including the Bazaar and famous mosques. Great restaurants and coffee shops. Be aware that this hotel is in an old neighborhood with small roads that might or might not be open to car traffic all the time. Rooftop restaurant and the food was great.
Overall, it is a nice hotel if you are not with a family. Rooms are small and some have no windows!
Our stay was very nice, the terrace at the top ehas beautiful views, rooms were clean and reception was very good. THey also kept our luggage on the arrival day and departure day.
