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.

Not a Five Star Hotel

This hotel is advertised as a five Star, but the room and its amenities were more basic than 3 star hotel I had stayed the night before. The customer service was nice enough. But 100Euros deposit was asked for the minibar and immediately then from my credit card. The minibar was not used, so the money was rended, not immediately but in two weeks the reception staff said. So this is a money making scam by the hotel, put the money in an interest account and earn something. It will b interesting to see how much money is returned as if the £ is weaker than the euro, apart from the conversion fees, I will lose money. This is completely unnecessary. Moreover, the room was so ho that despite leaving the window open and setting their archaic cooling system to low. I had to sleep on top of the bed. The wifi was there but sporadic. I could not check in for my return flight before going to the airport. In all, the accommodation and room amenities are not that expected of a five star hotel. I will avoid in future and look for a proper 5 star hotel when I travel to Istanbul again, for which I will need 5 rooms. Very disappointing and I am so glad I only booked a room for one night.
