Hotel Daphne - Istanbul, Turkey 

This hotel has been absolutely FANTASTIC with us. We four friends were in a problem and were scared of our safety in the hotel we were staying in Kumkapi. Walking around, we came to this hotel, and from the moment we stepped in, all the staff had been absolutely helpful. The owner himself personally helped us and treated us well. We felt at ease and at home. He even arranged for a staff to come with us to get our luggage from the other hotel. Because we were so scared of our safety, we wanted to stay in one room, and the staff especially made the room more comfortable for us by providing camp bed. I cannot express how happy we were to find this hotel, and my only regret is that I wished we had come to this hotel first. But I definitely would come back to this hotel again, when required. This hotel was near to all the tourist locations such as the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, etc….. The room was absolutely beautiful and clean, with great air conditioning and lightning. The bathroom was exquisite. Most of all, the view was absolutely beautiful. The whole hotel was great, the terrace was fantastic with great views, and the breakfast was great. Most of all the staff and the owner were fantastic, and helped us to continue our holiday with happiness. I would definitely come again to this hotel. GREAT HOTEL WITH FANTASTIC VIEWS AND SERVICE!

The Daphne has a good location near the Grand Bazaar. It was recommended by friends. The first night we were housed in an apartment/hotel across the street from the Daphne. Our unit had a kitchen, our friends unit had a roof deck...with a door they couldn't lock. They were on the top floor with no elevator. The two nights we spent in the Daphne proper were great. There is an old mosque ruin right outside the hotel and a lovely view of the Bosphorus beyond. The people running the hotel were very accommodating and helpful. The breakfast, included, was a nice buffet with a nice variety. 24 hour desk.
