  : The room was very clean and comfortable with strong WiFi connection. The shower was super strong and all the hot water you could want. Location is great for tourists and close to several nice restaurants. The breakfast was varied and very good quality, taken up on the roof terrace with a view of the sea and Blue Mosque. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

  : The Darussaade was an excellent stay. I'm very happy with the hotel and the staff, especially Ishmael, it was fantastic. We stayed for an entire month, longer than normal for most, and would recommend this hotel to anyone if you plan an extended stay. You are located in the heart of almost everything in Fatih, with some great restaurants with very friendly staff right outside your door. Definitely stop at the zlem Kasap & Market up the street, he's very friendly and if you get to know him, he'll be very kind to you. The view from the terrace is outstanding, both the Sea and the Blue Mosque are clearly visible, as is the distant parts of Istanbul. Breakfast is quite good, but again, the staff here is VERY friendly and attentive to your needs. Laundry is quick and efficient. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!
  : Not so much of a complaint, more a "just be aware" but this is with ALL hotels in the area. The hotels are designed for Turkish breakfasts for short stays. You'll find yourself eating a lot of the same complimentary breakfasts which can get boring. Ishmael did offer to mix things up with their daily breakfast offering, and not just the buffet so the hotel will work with you if you stay longer and your breakfast gets boring for you. You can always go out for breakfast, but it's basically the same thing everywhere. You have wifi, but it's not reliable, which did get a little annoying in the room. But the remedy was to go into the lobby where the signal was strong.

  : Cute clean hotel with excellent breakfast on beautiful terrace overlooking the Bosphorus and city. Turkish breakfast was amazing and location is really central with easy access to a bunch of public transport options great for heading out to Kadikoy etc.
  : Would just flag that there's a bit of difference in the double-standard rooms even though they're the same price, might be worth asking in advance to get a room with a view
