Have just returned from a snowy trip to Istanbul where we stayed at the Dersaadet. It is a specail hotel, an Ottoman house lovingly converted with real attention to detail. Clean, warm room (we had a sea view). Breakfast is served in the rooftop terrace with views of the Bosphorus and Blue Mosque. A relaxing room with soft jazz playing.... More

We stayed at Dersaadet Hotel for 4 nights and it was wonderful. THey picked us up from the airport and helped us with the room before the check in time- the staff was great and really concerned to make sure our stay at the hotel was fantastic. Will definitely stay there if we go back to istanbul More

I stayed at this hotel a couple of weeks ago - great central location near the Blue Mosque, really clean and a great atmosphere and ambience. But the best part was the service. I hurt by back on the way to Istanbul and the team could not have been more accommodating and helpful. From the Front desk staff to the... More

We stayed at the Dersaadet in January 2012 and were amazed at how clean, comfortable and inviting it was. It is just a street away from the blue mosque which you can see from the roof top terrace. All the staff were friendly and helpful, and the bedroom was wonderfully furnished. Breakfast included a great range of cereals, dried fruit... More

My husband and I stayed at the Dersaadet Hotel for the second time, having stayed there six years ago on our first trip to Istanbul. We were every bit as happy with our second stay as our first. Our daughter and her husband arrived a day before us and had made arrangements to stay at the Dersaadet based on our... More

After online searching many hotels in the old city I took a chance on this one - and glad I did. The hotel has a charming atmosphere and the rooms very nice. The terrace overlooks the water AND blue mosque. It's down a side road away from crowds but just 2 mins walk to Blue Mosque. Finally, the staff were... More

We visited Istanbul for the holidays and had a grand time in no small part due to the Hotel Dersaadet. In fact, our only hesitation in writing this review is that it may make it harder for us to get a reservation next time! The hotel itself is located within walking distance of many of the major sights, including the... More

Our family of 6 spent a lovely 4 days in the Dersaadet over Christmas and it was a gift to us all. The staff was friendly, the breakfast on the rooftop was charming, and the location was amazing. We were able to walk easily to all the major sites, and to retire at night to our lush suite and feel... More

As a preliminary matter, I find Istanbul to be one of the planet's truly outstanding cities. That said, the Dersaadet is an altogether remarkable place. All the amenities one expects at a large, anonymous chain hotel, lovely decor, a friendly dedicated staff, a rooftop cafe with views across the Sea of Marmara to the Princes Isles in one direction and...
