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.
It’s a very nice “boutique hotel”! Depending on what one wants or expects, it might not be exactly that. If one wants a larger hotel with fancy lobby and big rooms, this is not it. However, the staff are super friendly, overall very clean and comfortable hotel. It’s within walking distance of some of the best tourist attractions including the Bazaar and famous mosques. Great restaurants and coffee shops. Be aware that this hotel is in an old neighborhood with small roads that might or might not be open to car traffic all the time. Rooftop restaurant and the food was great.
Overall, it is a nice hotel if you are not with a family. Rooms are small and some have no windows!
The Demiray is located walking distance to many Old Town sites. The staff are friendly and attentive. The upstairs cafe for breakfast is excellent and the view is incredible. Highly recommend staying here!
Great spa, great rooms and a fantastic rooftop restaurant with jaw-dropping views. The staff are lovely.

Sadly the Demiray gave us a room without an outside window and with a temperature control that didn’t work. The room got unbearably hot and we couldn’t cool it down. And this was in December :( I am so sad as I had such high hopes for the Demiray hotel.
Great new hotel - room was nice and quiet, bed was very comfortable, and air con worked perfectly. Staff were lovely and its conveniently located such that it is walking distance to most of the key sites in the town in that area. Would stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff at this hotel are amazing. They go out of their way to ensure you have the best stay possible. From showing us an early check in to helping set up a truly relaxing spa experience, the staff is top notch.
The room is well sized and we loved our in room Hammam. However, there were very few lights in the room and it was always dim. There is very little sound proofing and we woke up each morning with the early call to prayer.
Another issue came with the shower. While using it, it will randomly switch from the set temperature to very hot or cold. This was obviously uncomfortable.
Breakfast was small and not overly impressive. However, we also had dinner at the rooftop restaurant and that was excellent. The hotel is nicely located in the Old Town for easy sight seeing. They can also set up an airport transfer for you, which was very easy.
