I had a wonderful stay at Regie Ottoman Istanbul, thanks to its clean and beautifully restored environment and the attentive staff. The location was perfect for exploring the old city and its historical sights, making sightseeing a breeze. However, my room, while stylish, was a bit dark and lacked windows, which made it hard to gauge the time. Overall, I would definitely return for another visit.

I had a fantastic experience at Regie Ottoman Istanbul. The location was great, making it easy for me to walk to major attractions like the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring a warm welcome throughout my stay. However, I did notice that some rooms, particularly those facing inner service areas, might not be as bright or inviting as I had hoped.

My attic room was cozy, featuring tall ceilings and exposed brick. While it was bright and spacious, I noticed one downside - it had a smaller window leading to a darker atmosphere, which could be improved. I appreciated all the amenities like quality toiletries and a comfy bed, but room lighting could certainly use a boost.

The hotel facilities were well-maintained, and I found the gym well-equipped for its size. I also appreciated the thoughtful touches such as a welcome drink upon arrival and assistance with local tours. However, I wish there was a little separation between the bar and the breakfast area for even better experience.

I had a fantastic stay at Regie Ottoman Istanbul. The location was perfect for exploring Sultanahmet's historical sites, and the unique character of the hotel, converted from a tobacco factory, added charm to my experience. While the breakfast was decent, it was not extravagant, which suited me fine given the abundance of local dining options. One downside was some noise from a Saturday event, but overall, I loved my time here and would definitely return! 😊
