My experience at Darkhill Hotel was quite disappointing. although the location was convenient for accessing public transport, the service and amenities fell short of my expectations. The breakfast was decent but lacked variety, and the room left much to be desired. I encountered several issues that made my stay less enjoyable overall.

My stay at Darkhill Hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The hotel's location is unbeatable, just a short stroll to key attractions, and the rooftop restaurant offers lovely views. Unfortunately, the rooms left something to be desired, as mine lacked adequate lighting and had a very firm bed that made it hard to sleep well. While the staff was attentive, the breakfast options and overall condition of some amenities could use improvement.

My stay at Darkhill Hotel was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic for exploring Istanbul, just a short walk from major attractions. However, the room had some major issues like an unpleasant odor from the bathroom and inconsistent cleanliness. While the breakfast was decent, I found the lack of complimentary drinking water quite frustrating.

Staff interactions were a bit hit or miss. They were generally kind but struggled with English, which made communication challenging at times. I also felt misled about the sauna charges.

My stay at Darkhill Hotel had its ups and downs. The location was super convenient for exploring Istanbul, with major attractions just a short walk away. However, the room was quite small and not very well-kept, and while the breakfast had good variety, the pool and sauna facilities left much to be desired. Overall, if you're looking for a central spot, it’s decent, but it could definitely use some improvements.

My stay at the Darkhill Hotel was quite enjoyable, highlighted by the inviting rooftop restaurant that serves delicious Turkish cuisine with stunning views (I can't recommend the olive oil dishes enough!). The location was perfect for exploring Istanbul, just a short walk from major attractions like Sultanahmet. However, I did encounter some minor inconveniences like a slow lift and some ongoing construction that caused a bit of noise during my stay.
