I read reviews online and felt ok about booking, but I was VERY disappointed. The positive: good location and decent breakfast (with a nice view from the rooftop terrace). Everything else is negative. The room was quite small, the bed was pushed against the wall, the TV did not work, there was no security on the door like an interior... More

Really regret choosing this hotel. Two single women travelling together had requested twin beds but the hotel only had 3 doubles left and they were all in tiny rooms with the side of the bed against a wall and only a couple of feet of space at the bottom so it would have meant clambering over each other to get...

I found this place online and it was half price, so I booked it as the reviews were not bad either. It is clean, the room was very small and next to the main street and the small Mosque, so I never had a good night sleep. It was loud most of the night, and you got woken up at... More

Great little gem near all the main tourist attractions in Sultanahmet. Easy walk to the Grand Bazaar. Price was right, staff was lovely. Breakfast was splendid. Rooms were small, but fine for our purposes (two 30-something girls). Did I mention the rooftop and the view?

Very Nice hotel. Close to the blue mosque, the Hagia Sofia and the Topkapi Pallace. The staff is very kind and friendly. The breakfast is not very impressive but is eaten at the lovely roof terrace. The room is clean and looks new.

Found the Hotel Dara online and it had lovely reviews. We were 2 girls traveling for fun, so we wanted to find a place that was affordable and felt safe. This place is located in the heart of the tourist scene - minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Has a lovely buffet breakfast every morning on the... More

We stayed in Dara for four nights in March 2013 and were very happy with the hotel. The service was friendly, breakfast nice (something a bit different, and the roof top terrace was great) and the room very clean if a bit small. The location is very good, close to all the major sights but away from the crowds. Would... More

I repeat my visite to Dara Hotel from Istanbul, Sultanahmet ..all last 7 months ...and what can I tell is that my first impression is now more better.... Everything is perfect for tourists in this coquette family hotel, from the location near Sokollu Camii, neat Aya Sophia, near Blue Mosque, with the magnifique panorama of Marmara Sea from the terasse...
