Excellent location with friendly staff
Pros:

The location was excellent close to most of the major attractions.
Breakfast was varied and plentiful and served on the roof terrace with spectacular views.

Cons:

Although a kettle and mugs were in the room it would have been nice to have coffee and tea in the room .

Excellent and reliable choice for Istanbul
Pros:

I have stayed at Hotel Daphne on a number of occasions over the years because of its location so close to the Blue Mosque and many other places of interest in the Sultanmet, friendly, well organised but unpretentious, good value for money, I’ve always enjoyed its breakfast on the roof top restaurant with glorious views

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Good location for the old town. Lovely rooftop for breakfast which we were able to sit outdoor on our last 2 mornings

Cons:

Requested two twin rooms on booking and again after we do I’d not get this confirmed on booking. We’re allocated one twin/one double. This was changed on arrival.
New room had a loud dripping tap in the bathroom - reported but not fixed.
Hotel requested payment in cash if possible- did not specify Euros and one of my friends brought Scottish banknotes which they did not accept!
Would have liked some fresh fruit at breakfast.

Ein ordentliches, kleines Hotel in relativ ruhiger Lage
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt fußläufig von einigen Sehenswürdigkeiten und der Tram entfernt. Die Lage ist relativ ruhig. Wir konnten zum Teil auch bei geöffneten Fenster schlafen. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im 4.OG Richtung Meer mit Meerblick. Das Zimmer war sauber, ordentlich und groß genug. Frühstück gab es auf der schönen Dachterrasse mit Meerblick. An warmen Speisen gab es Wurst, Rührei oder Menemem. Es hat uns sonst nichts gefehlt.

Cons:

Wir sind uns nicht sicher, ob wir das gebuchte Deluxe Zimmer bekommen haben. Die Beschreibung und Foto`s bei Booking.com ist nicht ganz eindeutig bzw. aktuell (das Hotel wurde renoviert). Einen Balkon haben nur insgesamt zwei Deluxe Zimmer. Wir haben ein Zimmer mit zwei Einzelbetten gebucht, aber ein Doppelbett mit einer Bettdecke bekommen. Der Rest der Ausstattung stimmte aber.

Pros:

I first stayed at Hotel Daphne 12 years ago, and returning after all this time felt like coming back to an old friend. Some things are simply timeless. The intimate atmosphere is still what makes this place truly special, you feel like a guest, not a room number. The rooftop restaurant is an absolute highlight: breathtaking views over the Bosphorus and a setting that makes every meal feel like an occasion. The location remains one of the best in the city, with everything within easy reach. Twelve years later, it still delivers. Highly recommended.
