A quiet sanctuary a short stroll away from the key sights of the old town.Perfectly located behind the Aghia Sofia mosque. Attentive front desk and waiting staff. Authentic Ottoman dining experience in hotel restaurant. Complimentary breakfast. Early morning call to prayer from the mosque quite audible but wasn't a problem for us. We booked a larger front facing room on fourth floor which had a bathroom and a jaccuzi in the bedroom. We liked having the extra space. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

Wonderful stay at the Ottoman hotel!!

Staying at Ottoman Imperial hotel was the best decision we made for our trip. The staff there was very accommodating and so warm and friendly. The breakfast was always delicious and the staff never hesitated to assist us with our needs. I went there with my elderly parents and they had a wonderful time. The beds were so comfortable and never had any issues with the wifi. The location cannot be beat, it was right across The Hague Sophia, 5 min walk to the Blue Mosque, Topkapi palace 8 min walk and so close to so many restaurants and shops. The guys at the small shop next to the hotel were also very friendly and helped us book a cruise and helped us navigate the area and made great recommendations on places to visit. There was also wonderful spa called Navitas spa right next door. The hotel itself has a Michelin star restaurant that had amazing food and such a great staff. I highly recommend staying at the ottoman hotel.

Good stay, but below average breakfast
