Great service and convenient

10.0

Very great service and a special mention for Sevgi, a lovely staff who works at the hotel restaurant Matbah. She was always welcoming and extremely attentive and helpful every morning at breakfast. The hotel's location is very convenient and you can hear the prayers very clearly from Hagia Sophia.

A warm and welcoming staff awaits you at this charming hotel directly across from the Hagia Sophia mosqre

10.0

The location of this hotel is perfect for visitors to the Sultanahmet. Directly across from Hagia Sophia, many rooms (like mine) have wonderful views of the mosque. Stained glass windows adorn the entry way to the beautiful hotel lobby and I was greeted by ERSE at the reception desk who provided me with helpful information throughout my week long visit. My room was spotless, the room lighting was excellent, the bed was very comfortable (and extra pillows were already provided) and the bathroom was updated with modern amenities. The housekeeping staff is excellent. The view of the city from the dining room on the main floor was breathtaking and I was greeted warmly each morning by both YUSUF and SEVGI as I made my way to a white cloth covered table of my choice. An extensive breakfast buffet was included in the price of the room and omelettes of various kinds are also available at no additional charge. A magnificent dome of stained glass rises in the middle of the restaurant , Upon checkout, the charming young man at reception took charge of my pre-paid taxi reservation to the airport. Not only did he reconfirm my reservation, but he drove me in the hotel shuttle to meet the taxi and handled my luggage. This hotel is also an excellent value as my total room rate was less than $100 per night.

Gem of a hotel beside Haghia Sophia Mosque

10.0

This lovely boutique hotel is ideally situated directly across from the Haghia Sophia Mosque. I was lucky to have a bedroom overlooking the Mosque, which was rather special. I was directly under one of the Minaret's, so wakened by the Call to Prayer every morning, but that added to the atmosphere! The hotel is elegant and historic, and the staff were really kind and helpful. The lovely Sevgi in the restaurant deserves a special mention as she went out of her way to make me feel very welcome. The waiters in the restaurant were also charming and helpful. I loved the central location of this hotel. It is beside one of the best known landmarks in Istanbul, so impossible to get lost. I had a premium double room which had a lovely big bathroom. The room was very comfortable and had a small fridge but no minibar. Thecweather was cold but my room was always comfortably warm. Breakfast was served in the dining room which had a lovely view out over buildings and a courtyard. It was a lovely view with domes and minarets, very atmospheric.

An exceptional stay at Ottoman Imperial Hotel

10.0

Our stay at the Ottoman Imperial Hotel was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The location is perfect, just steps away from Hagia Sophia, making it ideal for exploring the heart of Istanbul. The welcome was warm and professional, and the entire staff made us feel truly valued throughout our stay. A special thank you goes to Mr. Erhan at reception with a fantastic welcoming and Ms. Sevgi and Ms. Simge, who were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Their hospitality made a real difference and added a personal touch to our experience. The food was delicious, fresh, and well-prepared, with a great variety that we enjoyed every day. Everything was served with care and attention to detail. Overall, this hotel combines excellent service, great food, a fantastic location, and outstanding staff. We highly recommend the Ottoman Imperial Hotel and would happily return again.

Close to everywhere

10.0

We came from the USA and stayed at Ottoman Hotel Imperial for 5 nights. Everything was great from the beginning to the end. The location is perfect — very close to all major attractions and right next to the train station, which made getting around very easy. The hotel services were very good and the staff was always helpful and friendly. Special thanks to the ladies in the breakfast room, Sevgi and Simge — they provided perfect service every morning, always smiling and very attentive. They really made our stay more enjoyable.
