Excellent stay. The room and bed were comfortable. Reception kindly moved us to a higher floor and upgraded my room at no charge. They were super flexible and accommodating. Great location. Delicious breakfast buffet. The electricity was a bit finicky- got oveloaded easily and flicked on and off a few times.

The hospitality at the reception was extremely friendly and helpful. Ismail helped us book all our tours and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. The hotel’s location is very convenient to the main attractions in the area. The rooms are small and outdated but extremely clean. Breakfast on the roof top was adequate and had a nice view of the Blue mosque. Overall, we really enjoyed our 5 stay at the Darussaade hotel.

I strongly recommend this hotel for either a couple or a family trip. Nice and clean; the breakfast was included in my reservation with variety of Turkish dishes. Breakfast is served on the top roof with nice view. The staff at the reception as well as at the restaurant were very friendly. We spent 5 gorgeous nights and enjoyed our trip.

The staff was lovely by agreeing to change my room. The first was on the first floor (basement style). But they offered me a solution quickly and it was more than appreciated. A big thank you again! The rooms were clean and the hotel was quiet. Thanks to Expedia who responded very quickly

I am originally from the U.S. and my wife is from Ukraine. On September 15, 2017 we each flew from our home countries to Istanbul to meet for the first time. We stayed at this hotel for a week. We returned here last week to celebrate the 8 year anniversary of our first meeting. The hotel was just as I remembered...perfect! The location is excellent, the room outstanding, and the best feature was and still is the staff. Thanks for making our stay so wonderful...again.
