    I chose this hotel for a work-related brainstorming session and was impressed by its modern facilities. The state-of-the-art ballrooms and meeting rooms equipped with high-tech sound and video systems provided the ideal environment for our sessions.

    I wished the hotel had a dedicated business center to cater to my work needs.

    The hotel's decor and furniture were absolutely beautiful, reminiscent of a bygone era that I found quite charming. The general areas were spacious and well-lit, making it easy for seniors to navigate. Additionally, the hotel's accessibility for senior people was impressive, with convenient facilities and services for our comfort.

    I would ask the children working there to consider offering a wider range of vegetarian options for a better vacation for senior people.

    I recently stayed at Legacy Ottoman for my fourth time and it was as wonderful as ever! The hotel is conveniently located near major transport links and offers great value for money. The sea view room was luxurious and the service, especially in the massage room, was brilliant. The massage itself was fantastic and at a very affordable rate. The breakfast on the top floor with its stunning view was perfect. I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Istanbul.

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    This hotel was a luxurious getaway, fulfilling all our exclusive amenities needs. The service was impeccable, and the Spa & wellness center provided a range of treatments including massage, body wraps, and Turkish baths, leaving us feeling pampered and rejuvenated. The indoor swimming pool and sauna were a perfect way to relax after a day of exploring the city, and the restaurant offered a delectable Halal food menu. The location was perfect too, with easy access to public transportation and attractions within walking distance.

    The only minor issue we encountered was a delay in our check-in process, but the staff were friendly and accommodating in resolving the matter promptly.

    The breakfast in this hotel was absolutely amazing. They had a wide variety of options, from fresh fruits to pastries and hot dishes. It was a great way to start the day.

    The check-in process was a bit chaotic. We had to wait for quite a while for our room to be ready, and there was some confusion with previous guests' belongings in the room.

    Staying in a hotel that makes you feel like home is truly a blessing, and this place definitely does the trick. The prime location right in the heart of the heritage district ensures that everything is within walking distance; the tramway, bazaars and other sights are just close by. The cleanliness, comfort and beautiful interiors of the room guarantee a memorable stay, and the dedicated concierge and front desk staff go above and beyond in delivering genuine Turkish hospitality. Don't miss on the Dolmahbace tour and the Uludag in Bursa, which are offered by the hotel itself.

    It's important to note that the breakfast options might be average and monotonic, which might prompt you to try other options nearby.
