Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Demiray Hotel Old City is frequently praised for its prime location, making it easy to walk to major attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Spice Market and Grand Bazaar. Guests often enjoy the rooftop restaurant, which offers great views, and the spa area with its pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and Turkish bath. Some guests have noted that the hotel feels more like a standard four-star rather than a five-star experience; however, the generously sized rooms with complimentary water and powerful hairdryers are commonly appreciated.

good location tourist attraction great view small room rude concierge difficult access
the location was very good, close to a police station and restaurants. it was also near tourist attractions. the view from the restaurant on the 5th floor let me see the city.
the room was small, and it was hard to open suitcases. it made walking to the bed or opening the door difficult. the concierge was rude, and he yelled at me for asking about the room size.

drab decor reluctant staff
the rooftop restaurant offers a very nice view and the food was delicious.
I found the room to be quite disappointing. the decor seemed drab and ordinary. I am unsure how the hotel achieved its rating. i noticed the staff seemed reluctant to wipe the morning dew off the furniture on the terrace.

I stayed in a standard double or twin room. the room had complimentary water, which i found very helpful. the hairdryer was powerful. It was honestly the best i have ever used in a hotel! i also booked a hamam treatment at the spa. Erhan ali was amazing!!!
The music in the bathroom played whenever i switched off the light. This was a little annoying.
