Dersaadet Hotel is a gem in the heart of Sultanahmet. The included breakfast on a roof garden overlooks the Bosphorous, the Blue Mosque minarets and baby gulls nesting on the red-tiled rooftops. The breakfast offering is ample with real scrambled eggs and good coffee. You'll return to that garden cafe for apple tea or a raki after a day of... more

My wife and I stayed for four nights at the Dersaadet Hotel which we had chsen from reviews on this site. The location is perfect - a 5 minute walk from the Blue Mosque and a couple more minutes to the Aghia Sophia and Basilica. The reception area is beautiful, the breakfasts excellent [fresh strawberries and yoghurt] and the rooms... more

We spent a wonderful 5 days in Istanbul at the Dersaadet Hotel. It was convenient for walking to the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sofia, and a tram stop, yet a few blocks away so that the street was not filled with tourists. There were several convenient restaurants nearby which had only one drawback, no fish, as my husband is a... more

This hotel is a wonderful place to stay at while you're in Istanbul. It's only a five minutes walk from the Blue Mosque. Once you enter the hotel you feel like staying in an Ottoman palace, wonderful colour combinations and nice old furniture. But the best thing about this hotel is the wonderful staff. We have never met such friendly... more

The staff is very helpful and welcoming, the hotel is clean and well appointed, good value and centrally located. We would recommend the Dersaadet to our friends. more

This was my 6th trip to Istanbul which I had been looking forward to. Hotel itself offers a great location and features nice rooms, while single rooms are just tiny. I had my USD1000 stolen from my room and the hotel management did nothing to assist me. They claimed that surveillance camera's hard disk was full and eventually did not... more

I recently traveled to Istanbul with my 85 year old mother and my daughter and our stay in Istanbul was a fabulous experience. The city is beautiful and fascinating and the Dersaadet Hotel made our experience completely positive. The manager Umit made every effort to meet our needs and provided the hotel car for short distances, when available, for my... more

My husband and I took our daughter on a week's stay in this very friendly and professionally run family hotel. We really like small, independent hotels and that is exactly what we got! The staff couldn't have been nicer and Umit at the front desk bent over backwards to recommend restaurants and tourist sites, which all lived up to his... more
