Dara Old City Hotel

Horrible place. Guys be warned . U will regret.

This is a very bad hotel .

Era un hotel molto bello e pulito, lo staff super gentile e professionale

Very close to city center, the room was clean, the staff very friendly, good price. We enjoyed everything!

Hotel very close to Tram and Hagia Sophia. We manage to arrive via Metro and Tram and found it relative easily. Loved the lift. Loved the breakfast - enough choices. Loved the coffee!! Bed was comfy and linen good. Shower very small. Price was really affordable and this hotel was good value for the money spend!

Do not sleep in room 302. Right at the Top where guests wait for the elevator and they are happy or mad! Funny noises up to early morning hours. Would be nice to have a kettle in the room to make our own Coffee.

I liked everything, the hotel is close to the bus stop, quiet location, very tasty breakfast and most importantly very polite and pleasant staff, even when I had problems they helped very quickly, and I am very grateful to them for that

I like everything

We were extremely satisfied with our stay at DaraOld City Hotel. The location is excellent! The staff were very kind and helpful, the rooms very clean.Breakfast was delicious. The view from the restaurant is absolutely stunning. Highly recommended!

Run don’t walk away.

Nothing. The room was so bad we had to find another hotel. It was not anything like the pictures on line. Terribly small, so small we couldn’t open our luggage. Electrical outlet hanging out of the wall, holes in the wall, bathroom light didn’t work and numerous other smaller issues.

Never been catfished by a booking before

The rooms are super small, they are straight lying with the 17 sq. m. We requested a double bed and the room we got 1st had two single beds. When we requested the proper bedding they sent us to a room with the windows attached. There was no sunlight in the room, we requested a new one. The new room had the AC open and as you can see the filter has never been cleaned. There is almost no cold water pressure, it is not worth it at all. Skip. Do. Not. Stay.

Location of the property is at the heart of sulthanameth so it’s easy to walk around to anywhere also the breakfast daily was great !

The rooms are too small it’s very uncomfortable if you have luggage, also you can hear all that’s happening in the rooms next to, everyday the room cleaning was done incomplete trash not taken out, towels replacement always incomplete

Close to attractions

They advertised suite 2 bedrooms 2 baths. When I got there they gave me a room with small living area and with tiny bath. I showed the booking and they said we have no such room and will accommodate you tomorrow but never did. Be careful from these people for family suite they have picture different than discretion. I feel cheated

It’s not worth it. First off, we came in past 2 am due to a flight delay, and I had reserved two rooms; one double room and one room with two twin beds. I got neither. One of the rooms was a single room and the ac in that room didn’t even work. On top of that the electricity went out and it was an awful first night. The other room had a double bed when I specifically requested a 2 twin bed room. During our stay, my husband and I had to switch 3 rooms total because the second room that we got switched to, its AC stopped running after the third night. Our last room was ok. The wifi barely worked and the breakfast was so disgusting. Do not stay here if you want to enjoy a stress free cool holiday! I do not recommend it since we had so many issues and honestly you could probably get better rest elsewhere.

The AC barely worked, wifi is not the best, and breakfast isn’t good!

Good value for your money. small boutique hotel, close to all attractions in Sultan Ahmet, helpful staff, room sizes are bit smaller but this is what expected for the hotels in this area. The street has bit of slope and hence not good for people with disabilities, however, it was not an issue for us, a short walk to main square.

They need to improve the breakfast.

Overall, my stay was good the staff were friendly and helpful.

The elevator is small it only fits one person and a large suitcase.

- Very good location, within walking distance from Blue Mosque and Haghia Sophia- Very kind staff- Tasty breakfast - Decent price

- after arrival , there was a problem with our rooms and we got the family room instead of two double rooms, although we are not family and we were not very comfortable with that , it lasted only one night though- the rooms had no working AC- one of the rooms we got had almost no light, had a big leak in the ceiling and looked like a dive- the last night there was no water at all in the whole hotel , I guess the hotel can’t influence that but it made us also very uncomfortable as we couldn’t take shower , use toilet or even have coffee during breakfast as coffee machine also didn’t work during that time I’m really sorry , I don’t like leaving bad reviews , but it was the worst hotel stay we’ve had for several years. If you don’t care how the hotel room looks like , then it’s cheap and in a good location. The other room was in a much better condition, so I guess it depends on the room that you’ll get.

The only positive thing I can say is that the location is quite good — it’s close to major tourist attractions. Unfortunately, that’s not enough to make up for the overall poor experience.

I had a truly disappointing experience at this hotel. The cleanliness was absolutely nonexistent — I genuinely believe the room hadn’t been cleaned in several months. The bed sheets had clearly not been changed, the towels were stained and full of hair, and there was a thick layer of dust under the bed that made it obvious no one had bothered to clean.Upon arrival, they refused to give me the room I had booked online. They insisted that another room — completely different from the one shown in my reservation — was actually the one I had chosen. It took a long and frustrating discussion to finally get the correct room, and even then, the staff was extremely difficult to deal with and seemed more interested in tricking me than helping.The breakfast was also a disaster. The coffee was tasteless, and most of the food was greasy and unappetizing.I will also attach some photos of the room so you can see the state it was in.

Excellent location within the old city center. Friendly staff. Nice view from the restaurant and tasty food. Medium size room with comfortable beds

The staff were very friendly, breakfasts were delish, perfectly positioned to walk to all attractions!

The only thing I liked about this hotel was its location

In our room the air conditioning did not work nor did the radiator. The TV didn't work, there was hardly any hot water, there were no free toiletries. Only one thin doona. No daily housekeeping and no tea and coffee facilities or daily water. I recommend not staying at this hotel.

Top hotel, staf, food.

The breakfast was very good and varied, the hotel îs close to the tourist attractions, everything îs new, în good condition and clean everywhere.
