The staff was exceptional! Front desk and Restaurant both. Especially Sevgi and Yucel. So many things i wanted to see were within walking distance. Even as a solo female traveler, I felt safe in the area. Although, I was not out at night. The location was perfect.

Wonderful stay at the Ottoman hotel!!

Staying at Ottoman Imperial hotel was the best decision we made for our trip. The staff there was very accommodating and so warm and friendly. The breakfast was always delicious and the staff never hesitated to assist us with our needs. I went there with my elderly parents and they had a wonderful time. The beds were so comfortable and never had any issues with the wifi. The location cannot be beat, it was right across The Hague Sophia, 5 min walk to the Blue Mosque, Topkapi palace 8 min walk and so close to so many restaurants and shops. The guys at the small shop next to the hotel were also very friendly and helped us book a cruise and helped us navigate the area and made great recommendations on places to visit. There was also wonderful spa called Navitas spa right next door. The hotel itself has a Michelin star restaurant that had amazing food and such a great staff. I highly recommend staying at the ottoman hotel.

If your purpose for visiting Istanbul is mainly to see Hagia Sophia & Blue Mosque, this hotel is your best location. We loved staying just within few hundred feet of these two beautiful attractions.

Good stay, but below average breakfast

Stay was good, but the room looks different from the images. - Breakfast was average and the coffee was awful. - Omlette station in the breakfast was really good and give many options. - Very close to most of the iconic sports in Istanbul, all in walking distance.

I loved this place. The staff was so kind and helpful. The location next to the Koptapi Palce, Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque was awesome. The restaurant was amazing! Wonderful food, service and view! Breakfast was fresh and delicious and the dinner was amazing! Flavorful and fresh. They have ancient recipes for some dishes that were incredible — hummus with currants and cinnamon, for example. It was a lovely place to eat. Better than other restaurants I found in Istanbul.

The staff were fabulous!! Incredibly helpful and friendly. The eating area was gorgeous…light and airy. The Breakfast was delicious. Location perfect. The rooms…if you’re on the 5th floor on the team side of the hotel you will literally feel like you’re sleeping next to the traffic. Super noisy. After one afternoon we asked if we could be moved to a quieter room And the hotel staff made it happen. If you’re a light sleeper (or any sort of sleeper!) try and make sure you have a room On the other side of the building :)

Bathroom is in terrible condition and very tight. There’s not much space around the toilet. Toilet is too close to the wall. I had to sit sideways. Rooms are not sounds proof. I can hear the next rooms noise. The noise or prayers from Hagia Sofia and blue mosque speakers prayers are very annoying all day and throughout the night.

Perfectly placed

Great location right next to Hagia Sophia but still quiet and relaxed. Helpful staff, nice breakfast, clean room, big bathroom. Would have liked a bigger shower but that’s a minor quibble. Would come back again.
