Ottoman Hotel Imperial

This hotel was lovely. The service provided by staff was amazing. We had a wonderful experience and we strongly recommend this hotel. Breakfast service was amazing. The reception staff were very helpful no matter what time or day we asked. The hotel has a wonderful Turkish feel to it and it is very close to all tourist places. The lovely lady made the mistake of amazing coffee. We are so grateful to all the staff. We will definitely be back.

This is a beautiful small hotel and in our room, everything worked and was well maitained. The rooms were cleaned daily and the morning breakfast was perfect with a wide range of choices including juices, fresh fruit, yoghurts, variety of breads and croissants and a cooked breakfast option too. A special mention to Sevgi who always had a welcome smile and would take very good care of all the guest and really enjoys her work. She works very hard and still had time to be chatty with the guest. The location was great. It was within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, St Sophia mosque, Tokapi palace and tram lines. Hotel is private and good value. I would have no hesitation in booking this hotel again because our experience was a pleasure.

Aside from being located near many must see attractions, the staff is beyond kind and helpful. We especially were impressed with the breakfast staff. Sevgi greeted us with a bright smile each morning and, along with Hila, made sure we had an excellent dining experience. The hotel is clean and comfortable. The call to prayers definitely got our attention but added to the overall experience. I highly recommend this hotel. The staff was exceptional and made our visit to Istanbul a pleasure!

Visited for 4 nights with my brother and on the whole can recommend this hotel. We were given two small rooms with a view of Hagia Sophia. There was work operating overnight on the site of the mosque that did disturb me. The bathroom definitely needs upgrading. The hotel itself is kept spotlessly clean. It is ideally placed in the heart of the Old City next to Hagia Sophia (as you will find out with the morning Call to Prayer), it is a great base to visit the sights. Staff are friendly and we were greeted with a smile at breakfast by the ever helpful Sevgi and other staff and all will help with any problem. Great value. There is an excellent restaurant in the hotel, Matbah, ideal for dining after a long day's sightseeing.

Beautiful place. Amazing staff. Close to all attractions. Very private and very welcoming. Thanks for making our 4 days in Istanbul unique!
