Dersaadet Hotel Istanbul

This hotel is located in a quiet area. If you like staying in a very gorgeous and charming old Turkish home-full of antiques-this hotel is for you !!!

I liked everything about the property. We were treated so well. Excellent service.

Great location able to walk to most things the blue mask, basilica, cistern, grand bizarre

Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and the rooftop terrace was a stunning place to start the day. People were friendly and welcoming, hotel was charming. Dersaadat is a major reason we love Istanbul!

We LOVED the hotel. The staff is wonderful and they treat you like family. We also loved the roof top terrace for breakfast and then drinks in the evening. The breakfast was outstanding and had so many choices. The location is walkable to all of the main sites.

If I were to stay again, I would be sure to book a room with a larger bed than the small double bed. Not sure if they offer bigger beds, but that would be my suggestion for those who are used to a king size bed.

Loved the sea view and the full Turkish breakfast. Also the staff was very welcoming and helpful with restaurant recommendations, calling transportation and general questions. Showers were nice and hot. Location couldn’t be better. Lots of comfy pillows and bed. Plenty of room. Beautiful lace works on the top sheet of the bed.

I would have preferred fitted sheets on the bed, but it wasn’t worth asking for those at midnight when I discovered it.

The breakfast was very tasty and served on the rooftop terrace with a nice view. The staff were super-friendly and welcoming. The building is a historical house which added to the charm.

Beautiful, clean, comfortable hotel. The most delicious breakfast is served on the terrace with the sea view! All staff are kind, welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel and will stay again if I come to Istanbul.

Nothing!

Great location. Walking distance to the main attractions, including the historic Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazar. Terrace cafe is nice.

A bit dated, but perhaps that’s what they are trying to preserve.

The breakfast was wonderful. And location is great

We be had the corner suite, so it was not as small as regular room. There is one bed plus a sofa/day bed. And it was not made as a bed. We had to do it and ask for sheets

The breakfast is incredible. The hotel is located in a quieter neighborhood which was also nice.

We had some very odd interactions with staff that left us with a disappointing experience. The service was not as helpful or friendly as other reviewers indicated. Perhaps this is because we were two female travelers, but perhaps that will be a helpful warning for other female travelers in the future.

Old school charm, great staff, great breakfast

Glad I booked this hotel! From the initial, professional and friendly meeting/hotel orientation/greeting with delicious tea, to the nice room and comfortable bed and good-sized bathroom, to the wonderful fresh breakfast up on the charming terrace with those fantastic views (something to really look forward to!!), the friendly staff, a clean and quiet environment, period architectural integrity and details plus the traditional Ottoman/French decor that added to the historic feel of the hotel. Not to mention they offer (extra) a mini-sampler meal I believe until 10:30pm, which was perfect for me plus I ordered a glass of wine with it!...as I arrived later than planned after a delay at the airport plus I had a tiring long day arriving from another part of Türkiye and had no energy to go out. They also have great restaurant recommendations nearby of which one I went to during my stay and was delicious. As mentioned online, the location is close to the main sites by an easy walk, yet situated in a quiet neighborhood away from the many tourists. Shops and restaurants to explore nearby. I stayed here as a single tourist, and yet was able spend lots of time with my NY friends who were staying in another district of the Old City 15 minutes walk away. For my departure, I let them book my ride to IST airport (to catch flight for my next Türkiye destination). I stayed here four nights.

Second visit to Dersaadet. Excellent location. Clean and comfortable. Walking distance to Hippodrome, Mosques, public transportation, and restaurants. Excellent breakfast in view of Blue Mosque. Multiple Turkish food items at breakfast buffet. Outstanding staff, desk, housekeeping, breakfast staff. Warm and welcoming. Staff really makes for a positive stay. Always helpful.

No negatives to report

The breakfast was wonderful, the staff polite and helpful, the location couldn't have been better.

Location is good for hagia sophia and topkapi palace. The hotel is in an old Ottoman style building, charming, but old. The staff were polite and helpful. Lovely view from the terrace, simple breakfast included.

Bit pricey for what it is, in the second part of my trip I stayed in a different hotel for similar price but better facilities. Still, not complaining much, as we had an enjoyable stay.

Absolutely charming place - an old world charm. Staff were attentive, kind and so helpful. The view from the breakfast cafe was spectacular!!!

We were welcomed on our arrival and the friendly atmosphere continued throughout our stay. We were mad to feel so welcome.

We loved the traditional small property making it so much more personal for us

Second visit after 15 years, good quality and hospitality (every staff, kind, helpful and knowledgeable) of the hotel is the same or better! Breakfast at the roomtop area with the sea view, and well prepared and very tasty Turkish style breakfast.

Located in the top tourist area, the access from the hotel to the tram station is always full of cars, isn't easy to walk.

The location and staff were perfect. We were very comfortable with this small hotel especially because the staff was so helpful with everything.

There are a few small things that can always be improved, like the tv being easily set to a few channels that would be used. The shower/tub could use some simple upgrades for the shower head and door.

Excellent breakfast with dozens of choices. The lady who runs it is very good. There is a wonderful view from the breakfast room.

Would have like some meat choices.
