No coração do Centro Antigo
Pros:

Atendimento sensacional, localização ótima e vista para o Bósforo

Cons:

Por ser um prédio de 150 anos, alguma coisa sempre existe, porém o atendimento por parte dos funcionários superou qualquer problema

Amazing. Would recommend
Pros:

Amazing Location, Very good and local Breakfast, Nice staff and Lovely Decoration.

Cons:

It is obviously an old building from the Old Twon so the bathroom sometimes had a bad smell due to the drainage system.

A great little hotel in Sultanahmet
Pros:

An excellent little old-style hotel in the hear of Sultanahmet, walking distance to the local attractions and surrounded by restaurants and stores. The staff are very helpful and super responsive to your questions prior to arrival, and happy to arrange transfers and tours. Good breakfast in a rooftop setting with an excellent view of the blue mosque.

Pros:

Расположение отличное. Голубая мечеть под боком. Окна моего номера выходили на три стороны: голубая мечеть, улица, и море. Относительно тихое место.
Уборка в номерах хорошая, все работает. Есть кондиционер, он же обогреватель ( в апреле было немного прохладно). Отель по своему атмосферный и уютный.
Завтраки приемлемы, все свежее. Каждый день было не большое разнообразие. В целом мне было достаточно. Всегда было - яйца, три вида сыра, колбаса, помидор, огурец, салат с зеленью, маслины и оливки, два вида хлеба, блинчики, оладушки, мед/варенье/ нутелла, и два вида десерта, может что то еще упустила, кофе, чай, сок, вода. Завтраки на 4 этаже с видом на море, чаек, и некоторую инфраструктуру на округе.
В отеле есть лифт.
Постельное хорошее. Кровать удобная и два вида подушек.
В ванной - шампуни, кондиционер, мыло, шапочка для душка, ватные диски, фен. Зубную щетку захватите.
В номере есть чайник, чай/кофе/сахар. Воду пополняют Ежедневно. Есть холодильник с минибаром за доп цену.
Персонал приветлив, дружелюбен.
Очень теплые воспоминания остались об отеле.

Cons:

Номера просят обновления. По низу обои расходятся, местами мебель пошоркалась, прикроватные коврики по виду очень хотят в химчистку. Прикроватные светильники из железа, по которому поползла ржавчина. Кресла и стулья - обивка тоже требует химчистки.

Choć lokalizacja była idealna, warunki pobytu pozostawiały wiele do życzenia.
Pros:

Najbardziej urzekło mnie położenie obiektu w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie zabytkowej części Stambułu.

Cons:

Największym rozczarowaniem były pokoje z widokiem na ściany sąsiednich budynków oraz te usytuowane w suterenie, prawdopodobnie zaadaptowane w celu zwiększenia liczby miejsc noclegowych. Dodatkowo przeszkadzał mi nieprzyjemny zapach, który w moim odczuciu przypominał zapach kociego moczu.

Istanbul with Feeling.
Pros:

For a stay in Istanbul, right in the heart of the Old Town, Darussade Hotel is perfect. It's old world charm and feel suited us perfectly. Whilst our room was "snug" and not large it was very comfortable and offered everything we could want. The staff were delightful and the breakfast in the roof top restaurant (enclosed) was brilliant. The views left you in no doubt where you were. This hotel has charm and a feel that is so Istanbul.

Cons:

We loved everything about this hotel - facilities, location, staff and the charm.

Страхотно място, силно препоръчвам!
Pros:

Персоналът е много отзивчив и учтив. Местоположението е много удобно, в близост до Синята джамия и всички останали забележителности в Стария град. Закуската беше много добра. Всеки ден почистваха стаята и сменяха кърпите.
