The room was extremely small for two persons. We couldn't move in there. The closet's door could not even open! We had to leave our luggage on the floor. There were cracks on the walls and the room (1st floor) was exactly by the road so it was very noisy. The bathroom -although it was clean- smelled really badly -I... More

Location. Dara Hotel is situated extremely successfully – all charm of Sultanahmet is near but street is absolutely quiet. It is easy to walk to Blue Mosque or Agia Sofia any time (even in the night like we did) to enjoy old city atmosphere. Other places of interest are also very close or if you are tired it is simple...

lovely little rooms, comfortable beds, spacious enough closets, clean bathrooms - some of the rooms may have been a little too small, but that just made the rooms cozy (not cramped). We arrived at 9:00 a.m. in the morning and since some rooms were empty we were allowed to check -in early even though official check-in time was at noon.... More

We stayed in this place for 2 nights and loved it!!! It was a charming hotel and we found the service excellent especially the hospitality of the night manager, Yilmaz Kekliktepe. My husband and I thank him very much for making us comfortable making us feel like we were at home. Thank you again Yilmaz! More

LOCATION: Is pretty good, close (about 5 blocks from Blue Mosque) but tucked away so you are not in the middle of the craziness. ROOM/FACILITIES (space, cleanliness, bathroom): Terrible. We had just come from staying in 2 great hotels in our 2 previous cities, and were sadly surprised with what we got at Dara. We checked in and got into... More

I am a little hesitant to write this review, since it seems that the management will respond with a rebuttal. Taking my chances... The location is great, rooms were clean. Breakfast was included and was fantastic (hats off to the chef!). The general manager is great, and the man who is at the reception during the day is so friendly.... More

We stayed here for a week just about a week ago and had a great stay. I was going to book a name brand hotel to be safe but since we were traveling with our four kids, no other hotel could accomodate us all in one room. When we got to the street I was a bit apprehensive. But after... More
