Ottoman Hotel Imperial

I stayed at the Ottoman Hotel for a night in October 2025. Some big pluses: - Amazing location - walkable in 5 minutes to any of Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sofia or Topkapi Palace - Massively helpful staff - Good food - both Turkish and cosmopolitan - Very competitive price. The accomodation is fairly basic, though I hasten to add it was clean, pleasant and the facilities were good, and it was in line with what I expected for the price. If someone told me they were visiting Istanbul, I would definitely recommend this option.

I chose this hotel for its spectacular location opposite Hagia Sophia. It was a good choice. The dining room and breakfast room are elegant and unique overlooking this unspoiled part of the city. The breakfast was good. The restaurant menu is small but good cuisine, service and atmosphere. The staff were very helpful at all times and friendly (especially Sevgi in the breakfast room). The stairs down to my room were a problem for me (partially disabled) as there is no lift. I was moved up one floor. My first room was very noisy. The second was dark and opened onto a disused balcony and shaft. Both rooms were clean but shabby and need renovation to bring them up to standard.

What a lovely hotel ! The view is incredible the staff all so nice and breakfast with Sevgi , Hilal and Simge everyday great start to the day ! Thank you - Room 203 :)

I had an amazing stay at the Ottoman Imperial Hotel! The staff were incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. They are always ready to help and respond very quickly to any request — available 24/7 with a smile. The food at the hotel is absolutely delicious, and the location couldn’t be better — close to everything you might want to visit. There’s a great restaurant right next door, and the hotel also has its own restaurant, which I highly recommend trying. Overall, the combination of excellent service, tasty food, and a perfect location made my stay unforgettable. I would definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
