Best location,very close to all historical sites. Clean rooms, great breakfast and very kind staff, especially Mr. Muhsin helping with everything like airport transfers, SIM cards with data, organizing tours/spa visit. Few minutes walking to Grand bazaar and Sultanahmet square, exchange offices, there are many restaurants just around the hotel, even shop with beer/wine and other kinds of beverages. We definitely recommend.

Overall, the hotel met my expectations. Location in the heart of the old city of Sultanahmet. Sights of this part of the city within a radius of 250 meters to 500 meters. There are several tourist offices nearby that offer a wide range of excursions. 2 pharmacies with Russian-speaking pharmacists. Since we were there for only two days, we managed to have dinner in two delicious restaurants. One Turkish with national dishes, specializing in meat - very tasty lamb at a reasonable price and cheese pide. There are many locals in the restaurant, which always speaks of quality. Unfortunately, I did not remember the name, if you walk from the hotel 200 meters to the left at the corner of a small square. And the second restaurant 7 mile in the INNOA hotel on a chic terrace overlooking the Bosphorus. Modern cuisine with a Turkish twist, quite high level, the price tag is above average. The hotel is small but very cozy. The room has modern furniture, a tea station and cleaning accessories. Every day they left two bottles of drinking water. Cleaning is very thorough. Towels were changed daily. No foreign smells. Excellent water pressure. Breakfast is good, there are several hot dishes and many cold snacks. I would like to note that all the products are fresh. There are fruits. The staff was VERY friendly, they were ready to answer and help any of our questions or requests. Especially Muhsin and his colleague, who was on duty on the day of our departure. When leaving, a hotel employee helped carry our things to a taxi, since many hotels in this part of the city are difficult to access. Next time I will definitely stay at this hotel and take a room with a terrace and a view of the Bosphorus.

Small size of standard room.

We had chakout time 12:00. But we neded to stay before 15:00 o’clock and the didn’t have problem. Thanks them♥️

I like everything

I had a really pleasant stay. Let’s start from the hotel, it’s clean and new renovated. The staff is so friendly. Fuat, Anil and Munsin were extremely helpful and happy to assist you. The breakfast was fine, we had it only two times. Not big selection but was good. The best thing is the location. You are near everything. Especially near to Grand Bazaar. Metro and TRAM everything is nearby. Next to the hotel they have a bar, I want to give all my greetings and my love to the waiter MOHAMED who was amazing. Truly the best person we have met in Istanbul. Thank you for your service. For the price was everything as it should be. Cleaning as it should be and all the experience in total. I recommend it. I’d come again.

The room it was smaller than what we expected , but if you stay for a week is fine. You don’t have enough space for you luggages or things. Some things for improvement are the following: The breakfast to be hotter. Put a bedside table next to the bed for convenience. As in the bathroom, we had nowhere to hang the towels, where to place the shampoos, and in the sink for the toothbrushes. I took a glass from the room and put them in there. On the other hand, everything else was completely satisfactory.

Very good location. It's in a lively neighbourhood surrounding bars and restaurants. It's also a short walk from the Çemberlitaş station so it's easy to take the tram. You can also walk to the usual attractions like Hagia Sofya and Topkapi Palace. For the room, it's as described. A bit small but it didn't really bother us. People with bigger luggages might have a hard time moving around. It's equipped with the usual amenities. Staff was great. Everyone was nice and friendly. They cleaned our rooms and replenished amenities everyday. They also helped us with airport transfers. Breakfast was great. They serve Turkish food and it was delicious. It can be a bit more varied, since it's almost the same everyday. Still enjoyed it though.

Bathroom can benefit from a little more cleaning. While the outside noise can be blocked by closing the windows, we had problems with the next door rooms. You can hear other guests making noise as late as 3AM. This isn't the hotel's fault fully, but the walls are so thin we can hear the neighbour's conversations clearly. Can be fixed by wearing noise cancelling earbuds, but just a heads up for future guests.

The location is excellent because is less than 10min walking from main attractions (Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, Basilica Cistern, etc), there are many shops, currency exchange offices, etc. The staff are very welcoming from the reception to the housekeeping. The internet signal was great, so if you are in a vacation/business trip it’s a really great option! Weather was cold but rooms were warm and cozy. The housekeeping ladies were very kind and always did a good job (with the daily cleaning, restocking room amenities -bottled water, tea, coffee and sugar) as well as the bathroom.

We booked 1 room with twin beds… but it was 2 beds (1 king + 1 single), so we didn’t have space to keep the suitcases opened, however it has a good sized wardrobe for clothes plus there was a safety box). There was 1 night we didn’t have water since the evening until to 4am… but it wasn’t the hotel’s fault… and water came back as expected. Another thing is that rooms are not soundproof… as we could hear other people talking from the room next door or when they pass by the door. And the last thing… (although for the majority of guests it’s not a problem) but me as a muslim, I was expecting to have a shattaf (bidet shower) in the bathroom…

I would rate this hotel 4 out of 5 stars. I’d have given it 3 if it weren’t for the staff. The hotel looks recently renovated, and the central location was a plus. The tram station is conveniently close, making it easy to explore the area using tram, metro, or ferry. The staff were polite, friendly, and respectful. The manager kindly accommodated our request for twin beds instead of a single when we arrived. They cleaned our room every day except the last, and there were no bed bugs. When we reported a drainage issue, they quickly fixed it and appreciated our feedback. Overall, this hotel is affordable, and despite a few minor issues, we had a pleasant stay.

The shower cabin had some dirty corners, and the street could be noisy some nights, although other nights were quiet. We experienced some slamming doors at night, which was a bit disruptive, but we didn’t mention it since we weren’t sure who was responsible. Breakfast wasn’t great, so we opted to eat at cafes in different neighborhoods. It would’ve been nice to have the option to skip breakfast altogether. Additionally, the elevator was out of service on some days, which might be an issue for guests with disabilities.

Location of the hotel is really very convenient, close to main attractions and also tram stop, which is very practical to travel to some sights by tram The staff is very helpful. Helped us a lot with information on sightseeing, also booking transfers and excursions. Breakfast was quite good In the room there is a kettle to make tea or coffee There are plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants in this area

The room and bathroom for 4 is quite small. We stayed only 2 nights, so it was bearable, but if you stay longer, it will not be convenient

Dedem Hotel is a great choice located in the heart of Istanbul's Sultanahmet area, making it easy to visit famous spots like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar. With restaurants, grocery stores, and ATMs nearby, it's a convenient place for travelers like us who want to be within walking distance of many attractions. We also stayed at a hotel near Taksim Square in Beyoglu later, but we liked Dedem's location better because it was closer to historic sites and had great connectivity to many other areas (with the T1 tram within walking distance). Our host, Fuat, and his team were amazing, making us feel welcome and comfortable right from the start. They were polite, friendly, and eager to help with our requests, like providing scales to weigh our luggage and storing it while we traveled - Thank you, Fuat, for your kindness and generosity. Our room was a good size for the busy central location, with a comfy bed and a well-equipped bathroom with good water pressure and enough storage. Breakfast had a nice selection of fresh bread, butter, cheeses, cucumbers, tomatoes, pastries, and sarma (rice-stuffed grape leaves), among other things. While the menu was similar each day, there was enough variety to keep us happy during our 5-night stay. All in all, Dedem Hotel offers a central location, warm hospitality, and convenience for those exploring Istanbul.

Even though we were well aware of and okay with this (Thanks to other reviews), the noise level at night may be a real issue for some. The occasional street sounds and door slams may be expected in a busy area like Dedem's, but weekends can be particularly lively due to the hookah lounge/club on the 1st floor. The club music sometimes continues until 2-3 AM, which may be disturbing for light sleepers. Couples or deep sleepers may find it manageable, but families with young children or those sensitive to noise might prefer a quieter alternative.

Very friendly staff who went out of their way to make our stay memorable
