5.0/10

I had an exciting stay at Legacy Ottoman Hotel, especially because of its central location near major attractions. However, the hotel fell short on the service front, particularly in the dining area where accommodating dietary preferences proved challenging. Overall, the charm of the historic building and the friendly concierge staff were highlights, but they need to sharpen their dining staff's customer service skills.

Rooms

My room was a bit on the small side, with limited power outlets and basic amenities. It could definitely use some updating and better sound insulation from street noise.

However, there were some downsides, such as noise from adjacent rooms affecting my sleep and a somewhat confusing check-in experience.

Rooms

My room was spacious and well-decorated, providing great comfort throughout my stay. However, the paper-thin walls made it hard to avoid noise from neighboring rooms.

I had a mixed experience at the Legacy Ottoman Hotel. The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore major attractions like the Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar. My room was comfortable enough, but the service often felt inadequate. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which was truly really good with a wide variety of options, although some aspects of the service didn’t live up to the hotel's five-star promise.

Rooms

8.0

My room was comfortable yet lacked electrical outlets, which can be a hassle. I also found the shower experience unique, similar to standing under a waterfall. However, it didn’t feel like a five-star quality room.
