Upon our arrival we were greeted with friendly smiles and helpful information to navigate the city. All of the recommendations turned out to be excellent, our hotel room was clean, the location (across the street from Hagia Sophia) was superb, and wireless internet access was a plus! The free breakfast was not your basic continental fare, it included eggs, sausage,... more

The website makes the Hotel look beautiful - It is absolutely spot on. From the moment you arrive you are treated with friendliness and efficiency. The position is terrific just behind the Sofia Palace in a quiet street and very close to the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace and the tram lines. Rooms are comfortable and very well appointed and... more

I read the previous review. I did not have the same experience. We have never been to Istanbul before. We did not know what to expect. The hotel is in an excellent location, literally next to the Hagia Sophia. We had two rooms (3 people). The rooms were together behind a door, so two rooms (separate) behind yet another corridor... more

I’ve just returned from my holiday in Istanbul. We booked Ottoman Imprial after reading the reviews at Trip Advisor and this hotel seemed to be one of the best in the area.

The hotel is beautiful and clean, with gorgeous outdoor terraces to eat the abundant and delicious breakfast, read the paper or talk to other travelers. The rooms were immaculately... more

The Hotel has the best location, close to Sophia and the Blue Mosque. It is charming and clean. The staff is very helpful and kind; the Guest Relations person is... more

New to Turkey we arrived apprehensive. The staff at the Ottoman Imperial couldn't have been more helpful - spoke good English - had a sound grasp of visitor's needs and, places to see. The hotel is so well positioned for the Old Town sights as well as local transport services. Food was excellent and reasonably priced - breakfast a joy!... more

Very nice hotel, only 1 year old, fantastic location in Sultan Ahmet area, right next to St Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Bedrooms are to a good standard and although small are quite a good size for the central old town district. Food offering was OK but a little disappointing compared with the general standard of the hotel. Breakfast was... more
