The 5-star smoke-free Radisson Blu Hotel Istanbul Ottomare, located within a 7-km distance of the medieval Byzantine Greek Orthodox church "Kariye Mosque", boasts an indoor pool and a fitness centre. The original-style hotel offers an à la carte restaurant and features stunning location with a such place of power and worship as Little Hagia Sophia Mosque nearly a 15-minute drive away.

Location

This Istanbul hotel is nestled in European Side with Istanbul's old center, with classic sights like opulent Topkapı Palace, the Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia, a mosque famed for its Byzantine mosaics, within easy reach of the restaurant Nov'ist Restaurant. The Radisson Blu Istanbul can be reached within 8 km of the ornate 16th - century Suleymaniye Mosque.

The accommodation is situated just around the corner from the contemporary Marmara Forum Shopping Center, while Zey port bus station lies just 300 metres away.

Enjoy the proximity to Istanbul Zeytinburnu train station, which is merely 0.7 km away.

Rooms

The air-conditioned rooms in Radisson Blu Hotel Istanbul Ottomare have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels along with blackout drapes and air conditioning. Also, there is an individual safe, a minibar and an electric kettle provided. Guests will find hairdryers and bath sheets in the marble bathrooms fitted with a walk-in shower and a separate toilet. Rooms at the Radisson Blu allow you to enjoy magnificent views of the city.

Eat & Drink

The restaurant menu offers a wide range of Mediterranean dishes. Refreshing snacks and laid-back drinks are readily available at the lounge bar onsite.

Leisure & Business

Beach facilities at the hotel include beach towels. A traditional Hammam, a treatment room, and a sauna, along with aromatherapy, reflexology, and body wraps, are provided to ensure a perfect stay.

“Radisson Blu Ottomare strikes me as a rare find in Istanbul, offering both historical charm and modern luxury, set against the Marmara Sea; dining options impress with diverse Turkish cuisine, and the spa promises deep relaxation. While some minor language barriers may arise with certain staff, and soundproofing could be improved, the hotel's prime location near cultural landmarks more than compensates in my view. This hotel would suit both business and leisure needs.”

Good Hotel, Minor Issues

helpful staff clean room comfortable bed

Murat helped me with my luggage, it was really appreciated. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable to sleep on. Breakfast offered standard fare, I believe service near the swimming pool area can improve.

The shower leaked water onto the floor, I noticed everything was wet after a while.

I found the reception and concierge staff was very good. Murat, the concierge, was helpful to me. He showed kindness. The pool was big.

The shower leaked water. The floor was wet because of this. The cold water in the jacuzzi did not work, therefore I could not take a bath. Food took a long time in the restaurant. The taste did not justify the high prices.
