My stay at Dara Old City Hotel was quite enjoyable, thanks to the stunning rooftop terrace and friendly staff. The location was perfect for sightseeing, making it easy to explore main attractions like the Blue Mosque. However, I did climb a bit of a hill to get to the main street, which might be a challenge for some. Overall, it was a convenient and comfortable experience.

I had a great stay at the Dara Old City Hotel, mainly due to its fantastic location near major sights like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help with recommendations and transportation. However, I did find the room a bit on the small side, and it was a little noisy at times, especially early in the morning. Despite this, the cozy vibe and delicious breakfast made my experience enjoyable overall.

The location is perfect, only a five-minute walk to Sultanahmet Square and right near public transport. It can be a bit of a climb up the cobblestone street, but I loved being in the heart of it all.

I had a lovely stay at Dara Old City Hotel. The location was superb, just a short walk from major attractions like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The rooftop terrace offered beautiful views during breakfast, although I wish it had been open for dinner too. On the downside, my room could have used some updates, as it felt a bit tired and not fully equipped. Overall, it was a great experience with friendly staff who were eager to assist. 😊
