My stay at the hotel was decent overall, but it didn’t quite stand out in any major way. The staff were polite and generally helpful when needed, though the interactions felt a bit routine rather than especially warm or memorable.
Helpful friendly staff, great location. Excellent.

I would say the service and rooftop restaurant were 5 star experiences. Great food, views, and hospitality. However, I wouldn’t consider the hotel itself to be a real 5 star hotel. Maybe it was because its in the old city district and things are just older and more crowded in that area. The trade off is that you are near everything though. Overall, it was a good hotel and I would stay there again, but maybe adjust your expectations on the 5 star designation.
Great stay on my way to Russia. Restaurant upstairs was really good and had amazing views. I evidently booked a very small room and when I saw it, I asked to upgrade and was willing to pay for it. But, they graciously upgraded me to a gorgeous room with a view for free. I loved the restaurant with a terrace and spanning views of the city (it was a little pricey, but very delicious). Turkish breakfast was plentiful in the mornings. I did get to utilize the spa and booked a scrub treatment. The scrub part could have been a little longer and more rigorous, Hummam part was very nice. A friendly male attendant by the front desk drew a picture of Istanbul with my name on it, I enjoyed chatting with him between my sauna sessions. All in all it was a nice and relaxing stay:)
Very nice hotel in a great location. Ten - fifteen minute walk to many of the major tourists sites in Istanbul. Beautiful rooftop dining area. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant staff provided excellent service. I would definitely stay there the next time I visit Istanbul.
Great hotel and location perfect if you want to be in the Sultanahmet/old city area. Walking distance to all the major sites. Staff was professional, extremely friendly and the service was top notch. Great rooftop view of the Bosphorus Stait. I highly recommend Demiray Hotel.
Lovely hotel in the heart of the old town (so the roads around are narrow and hilly - but so is most of Istanbul)
The area is safe, bustling with local shops and literally a 10 minute walk from all the famous sights in the old town. That includes the ferries and cruise suppliers.
The rooftoo restaurant has exactly the views you see in the hotels website...its beautiful having breakfast and evening meal up there.
We used the spa and you can use all the amenities including pool, sauna, steam room and haman. Only the massage/turkish bath teatments are extra. We had a turkish massage/bath and it was devine. So much more reasonable than in the dedicated hamans.
The room was spotless, the staff were brilliant and we also pre booked transfer through the hotel. Whilst there may be cheaper alternatives, the driver in was brilliant and wanted to show off his beautiful city and kept stopping for usbto take ohotos etc. It was like a mini private tour.
Top tip...if you book the airport transfer...you need to pay in cash to the hotel.
All in all this was a perfect hotel in a perfect location for us and would heartily recommend.
