Dara Old City Hotel

Hotel

Good location, with best views of the city from the dining area. Rooms are a bit small but I wont mind that with the good price they are offering. And yes, they provide free breakfast too.

The location is very good, 5 min to sultan ahmet.
And the staff are very friendly and helpful. The cleanliness is fine and the terrace has a very nice view of the sea and the surrounding area.

Small, cozy. Rather not a youth.

Tiny rooms, uncomfortable beds, almost always dark, something that is called breakfast. As an advance — smell of cigarettes almost everywhere. There are only two positive things: close to the city center and quite cheap. Did I forget to mention that mosque is near the hotel, so you will have great experience of waiking up near 4a. M.

Their Sales Manager Usman is amazing and very cooperative… Liked this Hotel… Near Blue Mosque and Topkapi!

Good hospitable staff. Location is very good. Wifi service was erratic specially when we used it at night. TV channel options are poor with hardly any English options.

Clean and safe. Accommodating staff.

The location is great and the hotel is very clean. Delicious breakfast.

Very happy with the hotel especially the service!

Cozy, homely, hospitable hotel located in the heart of Istanbul. Clean and comfortable rooms. The staff is polite and hospitable. Great hotel in which will definitely return.

We went in a very large group and the facilities were comfortable.

A very nice hotel the staff super friendly Beautiful views of the sea we come back. Highly recommended.

Nice place, comfortable rooms although small, staff acuewetting.

The view from the terrace overlooks all the drawbacks.

Good location, cozy and nice place.

A very welcoming staff in the kitchen but also at the reception. Cleaning is done every day cleanliness is at the rendezvous. A very nice view with access to the terrace at any time of the day. A rich breakfast with seasonal fruit tea and Turkish speciality. Plus we thank the boss for helping us to have a nice stay.

A perfect hotel. The prices are reasonable, the staff are pleasant always smiling. Housekeeping is done right, there's nothing to say.
The Hotel is very well located, everything is around there is no longer need taxi. It feels like home, I recommend it.

Reasonable price, excellent well trained staff, excellent service and advice for local venues and places of special interest to recommend. Excellent location, all major sights within walking distance. The hotel is clean (spotless) very well maintained offering its function perfectly. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace overlooking the Bosphorus is amazing! The facilities are absolutely Class A TV, a fridge, a safe and free Wi-Fi and very good reception. Hotel is not 5 star but the staff are safe! Would visit again and certainly recommend without hesitation! Personal Touch 10.

Reasonable price. Staff kind and concerned. Great location.

A very nice hotel in the middle of Istanbul. It is within walking distance of the Blue Mosque.
The location is still very quiet. The rooms simple but good and clean. The equipment OK. There is a TV (I didn't use), a fridge and a safe (unfortunately not screwed).
The breakfast terrace very nice. Breakfast (typical of the country) tasted very good to us.
For a 3-room (actually, it was two double rooms) we did in the Nov. Punded €50 per night (with breakfast) in 2016.
Wi-Fi for free.

As always, the point of capitalism is you will get what you paid for however this hotel seems went too far. Fridge is not working as power point is not available. No housekeeping given. Room is remarkbly small and the worst part is its right next to mosque so 6am morning call everyday. The only good part is nice staffs and thats all.

Very nice family hotel close to all major places.

Stayed at Dara hotel for the whole last week of May 2014 with a family of seven including 3 children, excellent knowledgeable staff, excellent service and advise for recommending local venues and places of special interest. Excellent location, all main attractions within walking distance. Hotel is clean (spotless) very well maintained provides its function perfectly. Breakfast on the top floor terrace with views of the Bosphorus amazing! Hotel is Not 5 Star but the staff certainly are! would visit again and certainly recommend without any hesitation!
