The best things about this property are the location (central to the city), the outside of the hotel (very modern), and the lobby (updated and beautiful). It goes downhill from there. As soon as we step out from the elevator, we notice the dingy, dirty, and ripped carpet. That should have been a warning to how our room would be. We booked the junior suite, which was supposed to be luxurious and beautiful. I will say, I'm sure it felt that way 20 year ago. But it's clear the room was not maintained. The carpets were dirty, the pillows ripped up and destroyed, the curtains had what looked like burn marks in them. Furniture overall was just so dated and worn. Then we get into the bathroom. The light over the tub didn't work. The hairdryer was an antique that had all the power of a 3rd grader blowing from a straw. The tiles were cracked in some places. And worst of all, the shower had a significant leak. We unfortunately found this out the first night as we slipped and nearly fell from the ensuing puddle of water. The breakfast had lots of options but nothing was spectacular. We stayed for a week but grew tired of the selection by day 2. Staff are very, very slow to respond to requests if they even respond at all. There was a major miscommunication where we were being charged for a snack from the minibar that was not even used. The manager was refusing to waive the fee, and was attempting to guilt trip us by saying then he'll need to charge the front desk attendant.

Some people say a hotel is just a room to lay your head at night. Sometimes this is true but not with the Legacy Ottoman Hotel. The hotel - the staff were wonderful. Fro the moment I booked the room they went out of their way to ensure that my stay with them was perfect and trouble free. They arranged for a car to take me from the airport to the hotel and back again. And during my whole stay - the front desk, the security, the kitchen staff, the bar staff - they were all exceptional. And it’s the staff who make a hotel. The room was wonderful. Very well appointed and always well maintained in my absence. The breakfast was both well presented and plentiful. I was pleased with the hotels location too as this was my first time in Istanbul, I wanted to stay in the heart of the city. All in all this is a wonderful hotel and I would happily stay there again. And I will stay there again one day.

I had a really great stay at this hotel. The place was very clean. The rooms were nice and well-maintained, with a modern touch that added to the overall experience. One of the best parts was how quiet it was—perfect for relaxing or getting a good night’s sleep. The staff was friendly and professional too. I’d definitely recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a good, peaceful, and clean place to stay.

Not a 5 star hotel, more like 3 star. The rooms have a nice old fashioned feel but the bathroom facilities are lacking compared to other international destinations. Shower leaks into the main bathroom area and you are constantly cleaning it and using towels to dry the area. Hot water is not hot but warm. Air conditioning works sometimes.

The Legacy Ottoman Hotel in Istanbul is far from what distinguishes a 5-star* Hotel. Luxury, exceptional service, and attention to detail are things that you will not find at this accommodation hotel. The standard of comfort and amenities is lower than at any other hotel in the area. Their staff-to-guest ratio is very poor, with appalling management behaviour, demotivated and low-energy staff, and an overpromising guest relations team. Nevertheless, the rooms are dated, with oversized furniture, no special features, and limited or non-existent views.

The staff were friendly and helpful and seemed ready to act quick on our report of the loose handrail in the bathroom (though no idea how quickly it was actioned as we were checking out that morning). The room was clean and the air conditioning/heating worked. The hotel doesn't have the best noise proofing, so you will hear traffic, ferry horns, etc. even on the upper floors but we were able to sleep okay. The hotel is right in the Old City, so just a 20 min walk from Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, and surrounded by great shops and eateries. The restaurants have lovely views, and breakfast buffet was nice, varied, and tasty.
