Most of the things were very good like the welcoming, most of the staff, breakfast and the team at the restaurant. But the location was so hard to go up and down over the hill and main street, and the taxi plan was so unprofessional due to service and range they gave me and later it was totally different. Thank you Regards

Comfortable hotel in a fantastic location. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast and reception team were really helpful The only downside of the Ottoman Hotel was that it was quite noisy outside the hotel on the side of the hotel where our bedroom was located

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is walking distance to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Basilica cistern which is great. They have a wonderful restaurant (Micheline star). A recommendation to the hotel is to use a milder cleaning / mopping solution. We had a hard time adjusting to the strong odor from the one being used. Overall I am happy with my stay as it served the purpose.

Nice sized room with comfortable bed cleaned daily. Staff really helpful and friendly who drove us to the taxi rank when we were leaving as traffic was unable to stop outside…because we were a stone’s throw from the Hagia Sofia!! So well positioned for that and all the other main attractions. Would definitely recommend and will return in the future.
