“Could not be any happier with our stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Everyone at Ottoman Hotel Imperial made our stay so enjoyable we could not be any happier. First the location of this lovely hotel is spot on , it is across from Aya Sofia and you can walk there in seconds, in fact we walked to all the other main attraction in the beautiful historic district of Istanbul.

Ottoman Hotel Imperial has a great atmosphere which you feel as soon as you arrive. It's nicely decorated and all of the staff were wonderful, so helpful and friendly and more than happy to go the extra mile for you.

The rooms are in good size ( at least our's was ) has everything you need, very comfortable bed, good siaze bathroom and everything is spotlessly clean.

Good buffet beakfast with loads of selection.

My partner and I absolutely enjoyed staying at Ottoman Hotel Imperial and the wonderful hospitality shown towards us. The staff were just charming, helpful and friendly.

It is has a great location, in the centre of the old town, very short walk to all the main sights and close to many restaurants and cafes. It is also close to a tram stop if you want to travel to other areas of the city.

The rooms are nicely decorated with flare, very comfortable and clean, bathroom was large and well equipped.

The breakfast buffet was lovely offering a wide range of options.

My first business trip happened to be in Istanbul, booked Ottoman Hotel Imperial based on positive reviews on this site also it's close to all the major attractions I thought I would have a chance to visit before I returned back but unfortunately time ran out.

It's a wonderful hotel with very friendly and helpful staff, stayed for two nights , all positive, rooms are well prepared, good size bed, comfortable, clean, good wifi in the room. Good selection for breakfast. Would stay here again one day when I return back for a proper visit.

“Well-situated hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

This hotel is in a great location - it is near the tram, behind the Hagia Sofia and a quick walk to Topkapi Palace gate and everything else. A couple days I would pretty much roll out of bed at the last minute to hit the sights since it was so convenient. The hotel has a pleasant covered patio restaurant and indoor breakfast area - great on sunny days. The breakfast buffet has pretty good offerings including little simits, cherry juice and other turkish specialties along with western food - I ate way too many potato croquettes. Staff is friendly. If you are a light sleeper - I would definitely recommend requesting a room on the more quiet side. My room faced the street - I was fine with it since noise ended around midnight and wasn't that loud - but various noises included the tram running and club noise across the street. The location is off a small street on the left side of the Hagia Sofia (when you face the entrance gate), the same road that the tram runs on. I found that not too many knew the location on my first day - but once I was settled it was easy to get around.

“Turkish hospitality”

My friend and I absolutely loved this place and its wonderful Turkish hospitality. The staff were just amazing - charming, helpful and friendly.

It is in a fab location in the centre of the old town. It is a very short walk to all the main sights and close to a plethora of restaurants and cafes. It is also close to a tram stop if you want to travel to other areas of the city.

The rooms are nicely decorated with an ethnic flare, very comfortable and clean and our bathroom was large and well equipped.

The breakfast buffet was lovely offering a wide range of options. We ate so much that it kept us going all day.

A really special hotel, we couldn't fault it.
