I highly recommend staying at the Dersaadet Hotel. It offers an incredibly convenient location just behind the Blue Mosque, along with charming rooms that transport you back in time while remaining spotless and fully functional. On top of that, it has one of the friendliest receptions I’ve ever experienced in any hotel.
Staying there felt a bit like visiting enthusiastic distant relatives: I was welcomed with hot tea and a Turkish delight on a very cold and snowy day, which alone made my day. A small welcome gift in the room was also a nice touch. I didn’t ask, but it felt like a family-run business—everyone working at the hotel was warm and friendly, both with guests and with each other, creating a genuinely positive atmosphere.
All of this was topped off the next morning by a truly delicious Turkish breakfast on the rooftop. I would definitely not hesitate to return the next time I’m in Istanbul.
