For the price I paid, I think It is a quite excellent hotel. Hotel staffs very friendly even though only one staff who really can converse in good english. You have to walk uphill in order to catch public transport. I suggest to take taxi, most of them don't wnat to use meter for short distance. I ended up to pay TL30 to get to haiga sofia. Looking at internet the charge should be around TL13 only. The hotel is very clean. The only thing I was frustrated when we arrive there from the airport at 2:30am the main door closed and nobody opened it, luckily there was a dobby shop still opened across the street, I asked the owner to call the hotel receptionist to open door for us. Anyway I recommend for those who have tight budget but still to stay close to the nearby attraction tourist spots, this is the hotel...plus it provides free breakfast

We were delighted to have found this hotel after a disasters previous 2 days in a poor hotel and managed to secure this hotel at 2 hours notice. The staff are helpful and friendly creating a good atmosphere and made us most welcome. The room was super and a large family room in top condition. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone. And it is just a few minutes walk to Sultanahmet and a host of restaurants

It was a wonderful stay in Ottoman Elegance Hotel. If I ever visit Istanbul again, I will stay in the same hotel. My reasons are:
1. Excellent location, all important places, blue mosque, Topkapi Palace, Aya Sofia, Basilica Cistern, grand bazaar are in walking distance.
2. Excellent Staff, Mr Mohammad was too good, we reached much earlier than the check in time but he entertained us well. I remember when I found cattle plug was not working properly, he just replaced it with a new cattle, within no time.
3. Mr Ismael is a special asset to the hotel, he guided us very well, he even went all the way to the blue mosque and showed us New Basilica Cistern. He can understand English, Arabic and even Urdu
4. Accommodation was very spacious and comfortable.

Nice Hotel, Good Location

Close to the Blue mosque however, you do have to go uphill so not so good if your with elderly family member. The hotel it self is ok standard house/hotel the staff there are really nice and helpful, good internet, clean with good breakfast. Not sure if allowed but I helped myself to tea throughout the day and used the kitchen facilities.

Ok hotel which is very close to the blue mosque

Completed the booking for this hotel about 2 months before arriving via Expedia. I arrived on a Thursday and got to the hotel. The hotel owner could only speak a few words in English which wasn't a great start. I gave him my details and the first word he said was \"problem\", which got me worried. After trying to communicate with him for over 15 minutes I knew we were not getting the room. In a nutshell he tried to say the guests that were supposed to leave are not well and will stay until tomorrow. He gave me a room at another hotel which was close by, the room wasn't brilliant but I wasn't left with much choice as I had 3 children with me who were all tired along with me and my wife. We eventually go the room the following day.
The room, which we had was the balcony room and was spacious. The room was clean, AC worked as expected, mini fridge which was good also and it came with a TV.
Our breakfast was included. It was pretty much basic but did the job. The staff were very friendly though. There's a chap that works in the evening and his English is better.
Overall apart from the issue I had on the first night I would not hesitate in coming back again. The Blue mosque was around a 10 minute walk with the children, Topkapi Palace is around a 15 minute walk.
For the price you pay its very unlikely you will find a hotel like this..

On va commencer par les choses qui ne m’ont pas plu: le mobilier est vétuste , et la propreté laisse à désirer.
J’ai apprécié le fait d’être à l’écart dans un appartement avec mes enfants.
L’endroit est assez calme , Pas trop loin du centre, par contre il fallait monter une pente raide pour y arriver.
Le prix est raisonnable.
J’ai laissé le meilleur pour la fin :
GUL est très gentille et à l’écoute.merci

Breakfast contrary to previous opinion excellent. 3 types of olives vegetables 2 types of cheese 3 types of meats eggs and fried omelette. Fresh and delicious. Large selection of fruit. Even pears. And milk and cereal. All tasty. I know that the host is reading so we did not use the air conditioning but there was a slight humidity in the room. If it was improved, it was great.

Location sicuramente strategica, splendido parco e terrazzo bar, praticamente adiacente. Zona perfetta per dormire sonni tranquilli, salvo i canti periodici dei muezzin. Stanze dotate di aria condizionata, assolutamente INDISPENSABILE in questo periodo, mobili datati e pulizia superficiale, lenzuola ingiallite e letti non propriamente rifatti, cambio e numero degli asciugamani essenziale. Se non amate i gatti evitate, in quanto durante la colazione circolano liberamente tra cucina e terrazzo. Il buffet non è proprio continentale, nel complesso ci si può accontentare ma se avete canoni di pulizia abbastanza rigorosi, scegliete altro.

AWFUL! DO NOT BELIEVE PHOTOS

Actually we spent the first night an a very dump dirty room in the basement. I was stung by moskitoes there . The room was full of leakage marks everythere. Horrible! And the room wasn't the one we had booked. It was changed only the next day. The breakfast was simple and monotonious. They denied to provide us transfer from the airport, though I called them the day before.

Personal nett, Zustand des Zimmers schlecht

Das Personal hat uns nett begrüßt und das checkin war leicht. Bei meiner Erkältung ist einer vom Personal sogar zum Supermarkt gegangen und hat uns extra Tee gekauft. Leider hat es aber stark an der Zimmerqualität gemangelt. Vieles ist nicht mehr auf dem neusten Stand und manches ist sogar defekt gewesen. Da ich sowieso die Pension nur zum schlafen genutzt habe, war mir dies aber egal. Hauptsache der Preis war günstig.

O da ilk yere göre iyi olsa da ertesi gün temizlenmedi odamız. Sokaklar çok dar araba için ve sultanahmet civarına çıkmak zaman alıyor. Trafik yoğum oluyor bölgede.

hospitable staff, high C/P value

My husband and I were so happy to stay at Ottoman Elegance hotel. Mr.Fakhri was the most helpful and nice staff I have ever met and made our trip more joyful and meaningful. He even let us celebrate New Year's Eve with him,otherwise we might just stay in the room with TV. The best part of it was they offered Turkish tea and coffee for free anytime and let you just feel like at home. Check in is 24 hours available and we got late check out at 2 because of our midnight flight home. Hotel is close to every tourist spots within 15 minutes on foot. Tram an metro are also available and can get you to many other places.
