Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience. Booked 2 rooms with at least one twin. On arrival, 1 double room was ready, 2nd was not, they promised this will be ready in a few hours as twin bed. This was not done, also the rooms were not next to each other. The hotel staff member was very rude and displayed shocking behaviour by threatening us not to contact our booking agent. If we do, then he will get mad and angry. I was told the next day the rooms would be arranged as requested, but nothing was done. After repeated requests, our children's room was moved to the 5th floor for a twin bed while we were on the 2nd floor and were told this woul be rectified next day. But they didn't. This is an old rundown hotel with rooms with no natural daylight. Even the light in the rooms is very low. Bathroom fittings are either broken or not fixed properly. Room doors shake when you check to confirm locking. This is not 5 5-star at all. Avoid at your peril. Left 1 day early from the hotel due to feeling unsafe, overall very bad experience. Although we came across guest relations staff when we were checking out, who were apologetic and wanted to help but it was too late. Disappointed that guest relations team asked us to reach out to them via email on our return home, but they did not respond or acknowledge the email. Location is great. The reception area looks good and grand. Don't be fooled by this, as the rest of the hotel is terrible. Especially our rooms.

The worst hotel that we didn’t stay there one night. We were moved 3 times to 3 different rooms. We booked a seaview suite and we got the most dirty and old room. The carpet was filthy dirty. Broken furnitures. The smell in the room was like a toilet. We have a lot of pictures and videos. One of the room was on top of a restaurant and had no adequate curtain. The ac didn’t work. We lived a nightmare. We left the hotel by expedia recommendations to go and move to a hotel nearby. We had to walk the street at 12am! The pictures of the hotel online was nothing like in reality! Please do not go to this hotel.

Poor customer service

Very poor customer service. Istanbul very beautiful but the hotel has ruined our holiday. The shuttle service that was booked was awful. Dropped us on the main road saying that he cannot get to the hotel. We had to drag two kids and 4 luggages for 10 minutes to get to our hotel. We complained about the shuttle service the reception staff showed no sympathy and was quite rude. The breakfast buffet was a waste of money, the food selection is very low. The room cleaning was not done regularly. The return shuttle service was confirmed at the desk for 6am but they messed it up again and woke us up at 2am saying that our shuttle service is waiting. Very awful customer service. The hotel is very nice and the foreign staff are very friendly. I found the local staff very rude and not friendly. The manager who sorted our return shuttle to airport was very good. The location of the hotel is very good and would have given 5 stars if they hadn’t given us additional stress.

The hotel is decent but most of the ‘wow’ factor is in the main communal areas, such as the lobby, the spa and the lift. The rooms themselves feel outdated, especially in the bathrooms. It feels tired and worn out and there were areas where the wood has started to rot a little and there’s also slight rust on some of the fittings. Also the carpet in the room had ink stains. For a 5 star hotel, I expected things to feel fancy in the room as well as the communal areas but Legacy Ottoman seem to only pay care and attention to the spaces for external visitors rather than guests. Also, the room cleaning wasn’t great. The cleaners only replenished towels in the bathroom and didn’t tidy or wipe down surfaces etc. Again, for a 5 star hotel, you would expect a lot more attention to detail by the cleaning staff. However, the spa staff were lovely and very helpful. The spa is such a nice addition to the busy streets outside. The pool is great for family use but not for those wanting to do lengths and the maximum depth of the pool is only 1.4metres. The steam room and sauna were great and very quiet so we could relax with just our family.

I’m not going to share too much about my own experience since everyone’s will be different. The hotel is in a fantastic location—less than five minutes from a beautiful grand masjid, right next to the spice bazaar, with the Bosporus river and tram connection just around the corner (5/10 mins), plus plenty of food and shops nearby (perfect!). Hop on the tram and within three stops you’re right outside the Blue Mosque. The hotel room itself looked a bit dated and could do with an upgrade. In one of our rooms the Wi-Fi was very weak, though in the other room it worked just fine. On the positive side, the staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, and the chef, along with all the staff, was extremely hospitable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bed was comfy. We didnt buy breakfest option. The room was clean except the ceiling. The TV only had 3 working channels. The kids were upset about that. The bathroom was nice. The pool and spa area was good but the pool area smelled like mold. Room clean and hotel workers were nice and helpful. I would give it 4 stars. Good overall
