Walking to the hotel via a steep and narrow street while competing for space with fast moving cars is not fun. Don’t understand why the employee entrance at the foot of the hill can not be used by hotel guests. For this reason this hotel sadly won’t be the best choice next time in Istanbul. Other than that a great hotel.

My stay at The Divan Istanbul left me with mixed feelings. While the hotel markets itself as a five-star establishment, my experience suggested it might be better aligned with four-star standards. The service, which is a critical aspect of any top-tier hotel experience, unfortunately fell short of expectations.
Upon arrival, I encountered a passive-aggressive attitude from the reception staff that was off-putting. Instead of the warm welcome one would expect, the receptionists seemed more interested in talking over guests than engaging with them. This tone created an uncomfortable atmosphere that lingered throughout my stay. Additionally, the staff's grasp of English varied significantly, leading to frequent misunderstandings when addressing simple requests. This lack of clear communication is not what one hopes for at a hotel that purports to offer five-star service.
These service issues overshadowed any of the hotel’s potential strengths. A true five-star experience is defined by top-notch service that complements the hotel's physical attributes, and in this case, it was lacking. While the hotel may offer nice amenities and a polished appearance, without exceptional service to match, it cannot truly claim to be a five-star venue.
In conclusion, while The Divan Istanbul has the framework of a high-end hotel, its service shortcomings prevent it from fully realizing that potential. For those looking for a reliable four-star experience in Istanbul, it may fit the bill, but if exemplary service is a priority for your stay, it may be wise to consider other options.

The breakfast was amazing. Although there wasn’t a omelette stand, the waffle stand was great enough. The workers were really helpful here, they tried their best to suit our comfort. Our room had some issue with the AC but they sent a technician to check and it was solved awhile after.

Amazing
MMojganWe had a very unpleasant experience with stuff at the lobby , being there for Christmas Eve , me & my sister decide to eat inside the hotel rather to go out so at 10 pm we came down to the lobby where there is lounge area , for almost 15 minutes we saw that the lounge staff is passing us without asking if we want to order so I called one of the waitress and she came toward us with furious gestures before I start asking she said to me do you have a room in the hotel and I said yes , she continues what’s your room number and I replied , again with the cold face and rude behavior she continues ‘ under the name ?’ And I replied, she turned back to her desk without asking us what we would like to order and From her desk she went straight to reception to verify my information!!! My jaws dropped when I saw this , really rude & unprofessional behavior I was in complete shock that she even went to reception to verify the information, but the worst part was that after she verified and actually saw that we are the guest of the hotel she turned back to her desk and continued ignoring us , I never ever seen in my entire life a waitress permits herself to act like this with 5 star hotel guests, at this point we asked another waitress that if she can took our order , we then asked her if the hotel have another restaurant and she replied yes but the kitchen is closed after 10:30 pm , I don’t recommend this hotel for anyone that wants to enjoy the hotel facility, the staff are not guest friendly, the dining section is in some floor but for person like me that wants more easy snacks and chill area wasn’t really good option, not to mention that when we came back to our room we really felt so heavy and frustrated by this behavior, we were supposed to go today to lounge before departing but as for yesterday experience we just decide to check out soon and leave the hotel because we didn’t like to tolerate the attitude of this waitress ( she is the short women with short brown hair ) I suggest the general manager to see the video of yesterday and review their staff!
GGuest UserThis hotel is definitely the best hotel for visiting Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. I almost missed it because there were not many reviews. Later, I checked the location on Google Maps and booked it decisively! The hotel is in the scenic area, with a unique location. It is less than 500 meters away from the Royal Palace, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and other attractions. We are a family of 8. Staying in this hotel is the most correct choice for me to visit Istanbul. Everyone walks, browses, shops and strolls in the scenic area every day, which is extremely pleasant! If it is a family trip, you can actually book a standard room. The standard room is actually in a villa with very good privacy. We also booked a suite, which is also a stand-alone villa. I wrote this review specifically to record the beauty of Istanbul٩(•̤̀ᵕ•̤́๑)ᵒᵏᵎᵎᵎᵎᵎ.

AAnastasiospapadakisWe truly loved every bit of demiray hotel from the aesthetic of the reception , the rooms , the breakfast , the rooftop view everything if I were you and I was looking for a perfect hotel in istanbul I would not search anymore let me be more specific:
We were greeted by the beautiful Ezgi at the reception with a smile and friendly attitude that made us feel like we were visiting friends and family , since i also work in the same field this is what we strive for a perfect check in , she politely gave us complimentary tea and turkish coffee and handed us the keys to the room always eager to help us with any information after explaining the times of breakfast and the hotels included free access areas ( swimming pool, hammam , turkish bath , sauna ) , Hasan the bellboy then took our stuff explaining in detail what is included in the room water and the amenities were complimentary tap water is not safe to drink in istanbul but all the bellboys always brought us water anytime we needed and with a smile .
In the first night we stayed in the hotel we had a issue with the shower phone it was fixed but It broke again the next day , Mert who was at the night shift at the time gave us a complimentary upgrade and also he told us that if possible the change could happen on his shift and not the other shift , I write this down because since I work on this field i find Mert to be a very good , hardworking professional and excellent colleague since he solved a issue so quick in order to not bother the next shift , truly a excellent receptionist and he has my respect . On the third day of our stay we did a huge walk from taksim to the Hotel but we didn't eat anything we arrived back at the hotel and we wanted to order food , Emroh when I told him my request which as a front office manager myself i know it is not a part of the receptionist duties especially at night , immediately spoke with his colleague and they ordered us a pizza which was amazing we left the cash and went to the room , it shows Emroh can go above and beyond for demiray hotel customers and deserves a big applause . On the last day I requested a late check out to Emroh which was accepted and it made us very happy since we could come back take a shower and leave , the hotel has a luggage room which was very convenient .
As for the breakfast it was Huge with great cold and warm options which change everyday , Cansu and the rest of the staff always assisted us with a smile and made our day from the beginning ! I have to applaud the housekeeping team esma and selma which cleaned the room to perfection and made us a beautiful design see picture bellow and since we know housekeeping is difficult for everyone we tried our best to keep the room as clean as possible .
Our room was beautiful with a bathtub and it had an beautiful design and a very comfortable big sized bed . The rooftop has a 360 view of the bosphorus with view of the Hagia Sophia Galata and all the other mosques trully amazing ( Photos bellow ) .
One of the most important things to note which impressed us is that Ugur the manager was always on duty ready to help, he spoke perfect English and he also looked the part with a stunning suit and a beautiful red patterned tie , it is very important for the hotel to have a nice team and this is what the manager does the best , as a front office manager myself I know Ugur has made an amazing team consisting of great all rounded receptionists that all in their unique ways made our stay memorable and amazing and deserves a big applause for his work .
We truly loved everything and everyone at the Demiray Hotel and we cannot wait to be back soon .
Sending lots of love from Greece ❤️

HHariI recently had the pleasure of staying at Mula Hotel in Istanbul with my family, including two toddlers, and it was an experience I won’t soon forget. Nestled in the heart of the old Sultanahmet area, the location couldn’t be more ideal. It’s within walking distance of all the major attractions, offering a perfect blend of convenience and cultural immersion. The surrounding area is a food lover’s paradise, with an array of great restaurants offering local and international cuisine. Plus, the easy access to the tram makes exploring the city a breeze.
The hotel itself is a gem. My room was not only beautifully appointed but also boasted a stunning sea view that added a special touch to our family stay. Waking up to the serene vista of the sea was truly a highlight. The hotel’s family-friendly atmosphere made our stay with toddlers smooth and enjoyable.
However, what really sets Mula Hotel apart is its exceptional service. Every staff member I encountered was not just professional but genuinely warm and welcoming. Their constant smiles and readiness to assist at any hour truly made me feel valued and taken care of. From getting a bottle of water in the middle of the night to personal touches like waiters remembering my omelette preferences after just one day - every detail was noticed and appreciated.
I must give special mentions to Ercan at the restaurant and Ilknur at the front desk. Their outstanding service and personal attention significantly enhanced my stay. Their professionalism and kindness reflect the hotel’s commitment to guest satisfaction.
Coming from someone who travels significantly and has stayed in several fantastic properties across the world, I can confidently say that Mula is right up at the top, and a rarity among hotels.
In conclusion, Mula Hotel is more than just a place to stay; it’s a destination that offers a memorable experience. Whether it’s the prime location, the beautiful rooms, the delicious food, or the unparalleled service, this hotel ticks all the boxes for an exceptional stay in Istanbul. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city, especially those traveling with family.

GGuest UserHere’s a more polished and detailed version of your review:
I recently stayed at this hotel and had a generally positive experience, though there were some areas for improvement.
Upon arrival, the night staff was very friendly and welcoming, which set a great first impression. The hotel itself is one of the cleanest 5-star hotels I’ve stayed in—and I’ve stayed in quite a few. Every corner of the property was spotless, which I really appreciated.
The breakfast, however, could be improved. While the selection was decent, I felt it lacked variety and quality in some aspects. That being said, the restaurant staff provided excellent customer service, making the dining experience more pleasant.
The bed was a little too firm for my preference, which made sleeping slightly uncomfortable. While this is a matter of personal preference, it might be worth considering options for softer bedding or mattress toppers.
The front desk staff during the day were friendly on my first day, but by the second day, I noticed a decline in service. I’m not sure what changed, but the level of attentiveness and hospitality didn’t feel the same. Additionally, I believe the front-line staff should improve their English skills, as clear communication is essential in a 5-star establishment catering to international guests.
While the overall service was good, the hotel’s location is quite far from most attractions (except for the nearby outlets). This means you’ll need to rely on taxis frequently, which can add up in cost and time.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to visit the spa, but based on the rest of the hotel’s standards, I imagine it would have been a great experience.
Overall, while there were a few minor issues, I still had a pleasant stay. With some improvements in breakfast, front desk service consistency, and language skills, this hotel could be truly exceptional.
Would I stay again? Possibly—but I’d consider other options based on location and convenience.
GGuest UserWe got to the hotel after midnight and was told that the room is flooded and no other room available for now. We were sent to a different hotel and told that they would have a room for us in the morning. They sent us from Crowne Plaza to Ramada (an outrageous downgrade). We slept a few hours at Ramada and checked out and returned to the front desk of Crowne Plaza. The lady at the front desk told us that there were still no room for us and we had to go back to the Ramada again. We told her we would like to speak to her manager, and she said she is the manager. I told her that the arrangement is not acceptable. Finally, she said that a room would be available in 20 minutes. What a ridiculous experience!
DDhaval_VyasA good sized and reasonably maintained hotel. Very close to Underground Metro station, and 15 min walk to the nearest Tram station. Bus stop is just 50m away from the hotel. These transport options makes it a great location to access the tourist centre of Istanbul. Breakfast was varied daily and staff are friendly. Rooms and floor decor could do better with a bit of revamp, but I it still is in very good condition, just feels out of fashion.
I will certainly choose it to stay again if I ever visited the city.

Very Good
DdoudiWe enjoyed staying in G tower with all the facilities that made our holiday great! The staff were helpful and friendly especially Ms Neda. The location is also good for people who doesn't to be in a crowded and noisy area, the hotel was very clean and calm. We'll absolutely come back again!
IIaMixed feelings. The quality of the room matches the price, clean, tidy, everything is good.
The staff is not friendly, at 7 am the cleaning lady came into the room waking us up. The spa seems to be not bad, quite cozy. But it was terribly smoky, the staff themselves smoke there, so the stench is terrible, the pool with very cold water, they said that only for dipping, although this is not true. We were sitting in the sauna, an employee came in with shoes poured menthol on the stones, did not ask us. Our eyes almost popped out. The breakfast seemed meager compared to another hotel, there were no hot dishes, omelettes, but in general there was something to eat. In general, it seemed not bad, in particular, the service could be improved. Well, and a great view from the restaurant on the 6th floor.
AAnonymous UserHello, we went there because it was a 5 star hotel but it is only worth 3 stars, its location is good, the hotel needs to be renovated for transportation, as for the food, we did not eat lunch or dinner at the hotel, we always ate outside, our breakfast was included, we did not like that either, by the way, we made a reservation on trip.com, the price was reasonable, we will not go again in the future unless it is renewed.
