Ottoman Hotel Imperial is trully a quality hotel, located in the Sultanahmet area of Istanbul, near Hagia sofia, Topkapi palace, Blue Mosque and close to Grand Bazar, Spice Market and the famous Bosphorus. Rooms are clean and comfortable, some with balconies, although ours did not have one. Great restaurant, serves exquisite Turkish cuisine, delicious. Good choice of spread for breakfast.... more

I have to say this is one of the better hotels we stayed during our three week travel. Staff are great, always there to help you with any queries, friendly and polite. Location is great, right smack in the middle of all the historical sites, Hagia Sofia is across the hotel, Topkapi Palace and Blue Mosque are within couple of... more

All aspects of our stay at the Ottoman Imperial were first class..A driver came to pick us up from the airport - saved getting a Taxi. The location was superb - right in the centre of Istanbul, yet on a quiet street away from the trams and traffic. The staff were excellent - nothing was too much trouble and they... more

The room quality varies greatly depending on how much you pay and they are pretty noisy. It is not fun to be awakened by the predawn call to prayer! The bathrooms are substandard but the other furnishings are... more

Well you cant beat the location of ottoman Hotel Imperial, located on a quite side street next to Hagia Sofia, other historical sites as Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Underground Cistern are close by, stone throw away. Tram line is close by, use it to visit the Grand bazar, the famous Bosphoruse is not far aweay either. Staff are great, they... more

We arrived in the hotel to be upgraded to a suite, which had a view of the Aya Sofia which you could not beat. The hotel had a lovely cool outside area, which was a great escape from the busy city outside. I would not say the drinks were cheap, but the location makes it possible to come back throughout... more

We were in Istanbul for a short time as we didn't have much time left on our schedule, as we are into seeing the historical side of each city, this hotel was perfect for all the important sites in Istanbul.
