als wir antraten hieß es, dass alle Zimmer belegt sind obwohl wir Wochen davor gebucht haben. Schließlich wurden wir zur einer Bruchbude außerhalb des Hotels gebracht, wo niemand war außer wir. Das Zimmer wurde nie gereinigt, hatten teilweise keine ElektrizitĂ€t und frische HandtĂŒcher, Toilettenpapier wurden ebenso nicht vorbei gebracht. Zu Beginn hieß es, dass wir nur eine Nacht in der Wohnung ĂŒbernachten mĂŒssen aber dem war leider nicht so. Das FrĂŒhstĂŒck war ungenĂŒgend und das Personal unfreundlich. Nie wieder! Das Hotel ist ĂŒberhaupt nicht empfehlenswert.

Böyle rezillik görĂŒlmemiƟtir.

Otel bizi evlilik cĂŒzdanı sormadan kabul etti. Sabahın körĂŒnde kapıları çalıp telefonla arayıp kaba bir Ɵekilde rahatsız edip otelden çıkardı. Bu kadar saygısız ve kaba bir iƟletme görmedim. Ä°stanbulda yurt içinde yurt dÄ±ĆŸÄ±nda bir sĂŒrĂŒ seyahatim var. Bir çok otelde kaldım bu kadar kötĂŒsĂŒnĂŒ görmemiƟtim. Özellikle sahibi kimse adını bilmiyorum oda bize oldukça saygısız davrandı. Kısacası kendileri kabul edip, saygısızca bizi çıkardılar. Otel pis, odalar pis ve gĂŒrĂŒltĂŒlĂŒ asla tavsiye etmem.

Turkish warmth 100% in the heart of Istanbul

It had been a while since I had traveled on my own and from the moment I stepped into the Historial Hotel (now called Ottoman Hotel), I felt right at home. It is located in very convenient and central street in Sultanahmet (the historical heart of Istanbul) and it has a nice mix of locals and tourists alike. The rooms are quaint and if you grab a double room, you get a little balcony where you can witness all the wonderful street activity or have the sun splash & warm your face in the morning. The roof is equipped with an amazing terrace where you can see this magnificent city in full and hear the beautiful Azan call to prayer throughout the day, it's a very spiritual experience. Besides the great logistics of the hotel, the staff is what gives this place authenticity and heart. They are warm, welcoming, and generous. They offer their hearts and open your mind to all the possibilities of this beautiful Middle Eastern / European culture and really share the best of what they have to offer. I felt like I was at home with Sevim, Engin, Saadiq, and Ibrahim - we sat together, we laughed together, we learned from one another, and they reminded me of all the beauty that there is in the Middle East and its people - a region with troubles, but with people who have deep hearts and wise words. Stay here and you'll have found a home and a family in Istanbul, I know I did :-). I left Istanbul full of life and love, thank you.

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, but the hotel was in bad conditions: the lift wasn’t working (my suitcase weighted close to 30 kg) and every morning we had to climb up 5 flights of narrow stairs (mostly in the dark) to reach the breakfast room. The boiler in our flat was leaking and there was a puddle in one of the rooms.

FrĂŒhstĂŒck ist ausreichend, die Dachterasse ist klasse! Die Zimmerausstattung ist ebenfalls ausreichend und die Lage zum Essen und nah sehr zentral zum Shopping. Trotz zentral ruhig gelegen. Auf jeden Fall werden wie das Hotel wieder buchen!!!
