This hotel offers real touch of Istanbul spirit 👍🏻. All rooms in the hotel are dedicated to Sultans, each lived a legendary life . The staff I met here are very hospitable. Aref is exceptionally helpful in arranging my limousine service which made my journey from / to airport very seamless and comfortable 👍🏻. The car is of superb class and delicate Islamic design , wonderful . I must mention that the location of the hotel is exceptional convenient , just outside Sishane Station ( Refik Saydam Cad exit) with escalator service 👍🏻. Galanta Tower is just 5 mins walk away. There are many nice restaurants, museums in the vicinity. Surprisingly I find that the Jewish Museum of Turkyie is just fall on the way to Galanta Tower. This is indeed a location with Islamic, Jewish and Christian heritage. Daru Sultan Hotel offers all … I highly recommend !

Location ! Tribute to Sultans ! Galanta Tower ! Hospitality Spirit of Staff !

Excellent location, room decoration (impressive TV/mirror combo), and the personnel serving breakfast was so kind and helpful. The view from the top floor restaurant was very impressive.

I would have preferred breakfast buffet rather than given food that I would not eat; but, it was of good quality and quantity.

Really its amazing Hotel with Excellent location, good breakfast with best view ever, the stuff is very friendly and very welcoming and helpful, I would thank Ugur, Yucel in front of desk and Busra the house keeping manager for arrangements in our room ♥️

No thing at all, and will make a full review on my Insta: Ahmedelsisi_official

Looks just like the pictures the room was perfect especially the view over the river. I didn’t make it to breakfast but I’m sure it would have been yummy! Would definitely stay there again. Great location and easy to walk around.

I had the pleasure of staying at Daru Sultan Hotel Galata during my recent trip to Istanbul, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The location is ideal, just steps away from the iconic Galata Tower and a short walk to Istiklal Street, offering easy access to Istanbul’s vibrant cafes, shops, and historic attractions. The hotel is also well-connected to public transport, making it effortless to explore both the European and Asian sides of the city. The service was exceptional. The staff were warm, attentive, and truly committed to ensuring that my stay was perfect. They were always ready to assist with everything from restaurant recommendations to transportation tips, and their genuine hospitality made me feel right at home. The highlight of my stay was the rooftop breakfast. The spread was absolutely delightful, featuring fresh pastries, local cheeses, olives, and Turkish tea, complemented by a variety of international options. What made it truly special was the breathtaking view of the Golden Horn and the historic skyline. Watching the city wake up from such a serene spot was unforgettable. Daru Sultan Hotel Galata perfectly blends luxury, comfort, and an unbeatable location. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul, and I can’t wait to return for another stay!

This hotel is a wonderful place to stay for anybody who would like to soak up something of the traditional Ottoman atmosphere with all the associated standard of service. Chandeliers and paintings. We had a large room with high ceiling and a beautiful view over a part of the Bosphorus. The lobby was large with many armchairs where you could settle in and relax. The staff and particularly the reception staff and porter and cleaning staff were really very helpful, smiling, professional and efficient. The breakfast on the top floor of the building was really wonderful and of a large variety as you sat and looked out over the panorama of the city. Location is particularly good since the hotel is located on the corner of a wider road with a metro entrance immediately in front of the hotel doors. We took a taxi directly from the international Airport, but you could also take the metro if you don’t have a lot of baggage and so save money. There is a small supermarket nearby on the main road side of the hotel and a cheaper restaurant, among others, that is on the stairs further up towards the main shopping street. And Galata tower and the Tunel historical rack railway downhill towards the bridge to Sultanahmet is not far away from there. A great experience for travellers for the price and romantic place for a couple. We hope to stay there again.

The staff were super, trying their best to make our stay comfortable. They responded very quickly to all our requests. Nothing was too much trouble. We booked two rooms, one with fabulous Golden Horn view. Breakfasts taken on roof top terrace with panoramic views have plenty of choice for different needs. Location is excellent with options of street food down the road towards Galata tower, lots of restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Beyoglu is an area where you can find interesting, independent shops on atmospheric, narrow streets and alleys.

The room is a little bit small.

The hotel is in a great location for restaurants and getting around. Restaurants have 'tourist' prices but in the Galata area they're less than in the Old City. Staff are really excellent and very helpful with everything. Guidance on the area, restaurants, helping to get taxis etc (always ask the cost before taking the ride, it will be around double what Uber says, but none of them seem to respond to Uber - at least it gives u an idea of where the price should be. Experience was drivers may try to get 3x but accept 2x from tourists) Breakfast has a good buffet selection and u can request omelettes. Again restaurant staff are friendly and helpful. Room designs are very nice.

The hotel is on a busy road and there's no drop off point so be prepared to quickly get out of your taxi as traffic backs up immediately. The rooms have lovely designs but simple maintenance fails quite badly. Curtains couldn't close properly in two rooms because of botched maintenance. Wooden toilet seat was sheared through, inadequately repaired by screwing a block of wood underneath leaving sharp wooden edges. Such cheap, simple things to fix would improve guest experience enormously as the rooms are otherwise very nice and the hotel could become a 10 with better maintenance.

Very well located and well positioned hotel. The right side of Istanbul for the airport to avoid most/ some of the traffic chaos. Great views from all rooms. Easy to find, located above a metro stop and walkable to the whole of Istanbul. Key landmarks nearby, amazing views, and a very cool neighbourhood for all levels of dining, drinking and entertaining. Staff are amazing, breakfast location and quality is perfect, whole place very clean and a classy boutique style.

Nothing really, it was flawless. If I was super fussy then the pick and drop off is a little rushed as there is no where to do this and taxis have to stop the traffic who all instantly hit the horns, but you just ignore them. The ensuites are not fully private as you are separated from your loved one by tinted glass so a little awkward to fart and poop in ear shot ;-)

The hotel gave un upgraded room. It was super! The very good location and the hotel sfaff. Very nice loby; We had turkish coffe or thee in the loby every night. Excelent ambient for a late night chat.

According to booking.com, we supposed to have a free transport from Istanbul airport to the hotel but the day before the flight when I wanted to comunicate the filght number time and arrival time, this option was removed from booking reservation. I contacted booking, they replaid me once but after that, nothing happened. I still waiting for an answer :) NOT the hotel fault for this misunderstanding. I contacted the hotel and they helped me with the transfer for both ways. Thanks a lot to Yucel, for his help.
