    limited breakfast variety

    We loved the prime location, just a short stroll to stunning sights like Hagia Sophia. The staff was exceptional, especially Sevgi, who greeted us every morning and ensured we had everything we needed. Rooms were clean and welcoming, making for a cozy family stay.

    My kids wished for a bit more variety in the breakfast options.

    Stunning Views and Cozy Atmosphere

    We enjoyed a remarkable 5-night stay in the Premium Double/Twin Room with a breathtaking view of Hagia Sophia. The breakfast atmosphere felt grand, reminiscent of a palace. Although accessing the hotel can be tricky, the staff was always available via phone for assistance. Highly recommend planning transport ahead!

    The Ottoman Hotel Imperial-Special Category provided an excellent location for my work trip, being just steps from major attractions like the Hagia Sophia. The staff was highly professional and efficiently assisted me with my business needs, including setting up my presentation materials. Additionally, the ambiance of the hotel, combined with its amenities, made my stay comfortable and productive.

    Rooms were smaller than expected and lacked complimentary drinking water.

    The truth, what’s good and what’s not

    Stellar location right by iconic attractions like Hagia Sophia and a delightful breakfast with local options made for an enriching experience. The attentive staff added to the welcoming atmosphere.

    Rooms can be quite noisy with thin walls, making rest challenging. Additionally, the bathrooms felt cramped and were in need of some maintenance.
