This hotel is classy. The rooms are luxurious and the breakfast is wonderful. Be aware that it's an old building that would not be accessible to people with disabilities. If that's not an issue for you, it's very nice and close to the main sights.

The location was excellent in terms of closeness to the Hagia Sophia and other sites. However, our room and bathroom were very outdated. Also, it was right by the tramway tracks, so the train noise and calls to prayer from the Hagia Sophia made it tough to sleep through the night.

Ottoman Imperial is a gem. It is a quiet location and easy walking to everything you want to see in Sultanahmet. The staff is some of the most helpful and kind I have encountered. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The Michelin starred restaurant is not to be missed whether you stay or not.

The staff was so incredibly welcoming and helpful. We had an unexpected layover in Istanbul and decided to make the most of it by visiting the major historic spots and this hotel made it SO simple. We were able to walk to shop and eat very easily between the Hagia Sophia, blue Mosque and Basilica cistern with no problem. The restaurant at the hotel was unreal. The food was absolutely delicious and again, so hospitable. 10/10 recommend this absolute hidden gem.
