Hotel on The Cobblestone Street- Demiray
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!

Honestly, this hotel exceeded my expectations in the best way. From the moment we arrived, everything just felt easy and welcoming. The staff were soooo kind, attentive, and very respectful, which is a very important thing to us. The hotel's location is more than perfect. You are practically in the heart of one of the busiest historical areas of Sultanahmet and its surroundings. The tramway and metro are only a few minutes away, so it’s really very easy to reach wherever you wanna go in the easiest way.
The room was really clean and spotless, and warm, which is a must in these cold days. The bed was super comfortable, and all the sheets smelled clean. Not to forget, it was really calm, with no cigarette smells, whether in the rooms or on the floors.
The breakfast was an open buffet with so many choices. It was way better than we expected. No matter what your option is, whether it is classic Turkish food or simple oatmeal, you will find whatever you like.
Overall, it just had a really good vibe. Let’s not forget the gentleness of the employee at the front desk—he even gifted us some very artistic Istanbul postcards.
To sum it all up, Demiray Hotel is one of those places you’d happily come back to without even thinking twice. Definitely recommend it if you want a stress-free and enjoyable stay.

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.

"Kudos to Selim, Mert, and Sezai for their exceptional service and dedication! They went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. Their attention to detail and insider knowledge were invaluable, far surpassing our own research. Their guidance made navigating the city a breeze. We're grateful for their support and enthusiasm. These three individuals truly made our Istanbul experience special. We look forward to our next visit and hope to see them again!

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 😊

The rooftop at Demiray has the most sensational view! I sat up there and watched the sunset every evening. The staff were lovely and friendly.
The balcony was more a window - not one you could walk out on.
