We stayed at Demiray Hotel for 4 nights with family and really enjoyed it. The breakfast had great variety and the restaurant view was beautiful. Staff were very friendly and polite throughout our stay. We used the spa for a massage and sauna, which was relaxing, and also visited the swimming pool a couple of times. The location is ideal for Sultanahmet and Eminönü, though after the Grand Bazaar closes it’s a slightly longer walk back. Overall, a great and comfortable stay! Would definitely recommend😊 and would be nice to go back if we have a chance 😊

This is a nice 4-star hotel, but definitely not a 5-star like how it is rated. They said the Turkish government gave them 5 stars so clearly Turkish standards are much lower. Expedia needs to be transparent about who rates the properties for stars. The staff were friendly. The place was clean. Bathrooms seem to be newly renovated. Breakfast was ok but definitely not 5-star. There was an abandoned building missing windows that was our view from our room.

The hotel was willing to extend my original 3 night stay by and extra night at a discount and keep me in the same room. Location is great as it is walking distance to many restaurants and the major attractions such as Topkapi Palace, etc. The staff could do a little better with grasp of some english. My housekeeper was excellent. Breakfast options are okay.

The staff was so great. Showed us clearly which streets to turn on and to take a short cut to bazaar. Also, when there was a traffic jam. A staff member walked us down to the Main Street with our luggage so we didn’t have to wait an additional twenty minutes for a taxi. Went beyond for us.

It’s overrated and overpriced. Two stars might the best they can get. Free breakfast is not free since almost everything’s extra charge. Since the location is inconvenient no taxi is willing to pick you up there.

I wouldn't call this a 5* hotel it's far from it (I have stay in 5* in UK and France this doesn't even compare) however I would say they have very friendly and attentive staff on site. The decor in some areas was a bit rough around the edges when you took a closer look. The breakfast was excellent and plenty options on the huge continental buffet. Just what we needed for busy site seeing. We did have issues with our room. We had an economy double which had no external facing windows. The room was often hot and stuffy and this was in March. The AC in the room kept turning off and blowing warm air back into the room which made for a couple unbearable nights even when we turned it off the room just seem to get hot. We reported this on numerous occasions and the AC was turned back on but it kept getting turned off. If we had a window, we could have opened this for fresh air. The SPA is a nice addition. We used on a couple occasions do be warned that for some reason they insist on caps to use the pool. Luckily we read previous reviews and picked some up before we arrived. The location is ok for the old town and great location for the markets and shops but we found limited options nearby for food in the evenings, we did try the hotel restaurant but found the food to be poor vs the price. I have given them 4-star review because this is a good 4 star hotel in my opinion, although we had issues they were responsive and helpful. I would avoid the economy rooms if possible
