The staff at this hotel are amazing. They go out of their way to ensure you have the best stay possible. From showing us an early check in to helping set up a truly relaxing spa experience, the staff is top notch. The room is well sized and we loved our in room Hammam. However, there were very few lights in the room and it was always dim. There is very little sound proofing and we woke up each morning with the early call to prayer. Another issue came with the shower. While using it, it will randomly switch from the set temperature to very hot or cold. This was obviously uncomfortable. Breakfast was small and not overly impressive. However, we also had dinner at the rooftop restaurant and that was excellent. The hotel is nicely located in the Old Town for easy sight seeing. They can also set up an airport transfer for you, which was very easy.

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!

Sadly the Demiray gave us a room without an outside window and with a temperature control that didn’t work. The room got unbearably hot and we couldn’t cool it down. And this was in December :( I am so sad as I had such high hopes for the Demiray hotel.

Meh

This is definitely not a five star hotel. More 3 stars by typical standards. Our room had zero windows, never thought this was a thing I had to look for. Our shower leaked from under the glass pane. Small blankets and uncomfortable beds. Only good thing was the breakfast and rooftop view.

"Kudos to Selim, Mert, and Sezai for their exceptional service and dedication! They went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. Their attention to detail and insider knowledge were invaluable, far surpassing our own research. Their guidance made navigating the city a breeze. We're grateful for their support and enthusiasm. These three individuals truly made our Istanbul experience special. We look forward to our next visit and hope to see them again!

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.
