Small room but well equipped with everything needed. Excellent buffet breakfast is taken at a different hotel next door but one. This breakfast room is on the 6th floor with a good view of the sea. However there is no lift and access is via a spiral staircase which could be a problem for some.

Good and recommended to stay.

The room is very small and the heater is not big enough to warm the room when the temperature outside is -1 to -6. But the reception staff is very helpful and kind. He gave us Metro card, USB, free airport suttle, and lent us his laptop when we needed. All other staff is also kind and helpful although there were some of our complains were not settled. Overall it was a happy experience staying and Ottoman. The hotel has best location to tourist attractions e.g. Blue Mosque, Hagua Sophia, and Topkapi Palace (walking distance). All in all we were satisfied and happy with what we got from the hotel (considering that we paid reasonable rate too).

Nice little hotel.

Nice small hotel. I stayed in room 302 with see view. Room is of adequate size, clean and well maintained. Breakfast is ok. But unfortunately starts a little bit late (0745 at the earliest). As mentioned by other guests Hotel still has no sign and is difficult to locate. Shuttle to airport at 5 euros very convenient. Hotel lacks some real hotel facilities like waiting area, restaurants...etc but there is a coffee shop next doors and many restaurants few blocks away.

В отеле, очень маленькие номера, в душе грибок. За окнами проходит Ж/Д ветка, но поезда ходят не часто. Начиная с 3-го этажа открывается вид на Босфор. Расположение отеля отличное, до Голубой мечети 5 мин пешком.

Aan de buitenkant is het niet te zien dat het een hotel is, we hadden schimmel in onze kamer, dus elke keer als we de kamer in kwamen stonk het. Ik zou hier niet langer dan 2 dagen verblijf aanraden. De kamer die we hadden gekregen was heel klein nauwelijks beweegruimte. Over het personeels is er vrij weinig te zeggen wordt geen Engels gesproken na de manager na verder best vriendelijk.
