Old and not renovated hotel with no attention to details

Liked:Location is excellent. Everything around is walking distance. Nearby tram can get you also outside old tow area. I liked gym. Even if it is small, it still looks quite fresh and has everything for intermediate fitness activities. Food was ok but not heated well and became cold in 5 mins.

Disliked:The hotel interior and furniture appear to be from Ottoman times — not in a historical or charming way, but simply old, unrenovated, dusty, and worn out. We were disappointed the moment we arrived. I even reopened the room photos to check whether I had selected the correct room, because what we received looked nothing like the pictures. The rooms have clearly not been renovated for at least 15–20 years. The photos online are heavily overexposed or seem to have been taken decades ago to make everything look brighter and cleaner. In reality, the brightness of both rooms and hallways is at least 40% lower than shown in the photos. Noise insulation is one of the worst I’ve experienced. The windows are extremely thin — you hear absolutely everything from the street, with almost no difference between having the window open or closed. I strongly advise against choosing a “city view” room unless you want constant noise. The room doors also provide almost no sound insulation; even bathroom doors block more noise. You can hear water flowing through the sewage pipes and even your neighbors showering. As for the “city view,” it might only be worth it from the 5th floor or higher. Otherwise, the view is mostly of old, poorly maintained buildings, which I would not call a real city view. The internet is a disaster: 2–3 Mbps at best, with frequent disconnects. Reception repeatedly said that “IT will check,” but nothing ever changed. The dishes and tableware at breakfast were unacceptable. Every morning I had to search for clean plates. They seem to rinse dishes with cold water rather than properly wash them. Many plates still had food particles from previous guests. I often had to go through 5–8 plates just to find a clean one. Be aware that the gym and spa are only available from 10:00 to 22:00. Finally, the hotel replies to every review with the same generic statement — “we strive to improve our services” — yet nothing actually improves. These issues remained the same.

“Top Location, Top Breakfast, Questionable Key Cards 😄”

Liked:Our stay at the Legacy Ottoman Hotel was fantastic from start to finish. We stayed in a Junior Suite, which was incredibly spacious and offered stunning views overlooking the hills dotted with beautiful mosques — a truly memorable sight to wake up to each day. A special mention goes to Nadeem and Salma, who were both exceptionally attentive and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. Their service made a real difference and added a personal touch that we really appreciated. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with plenty of variety and quality options to start the day right. The hotel’s location is also a huge advantage — it’s close to everything, and we were able to walk to all the major attractions with ease. This was especially welcome given how much amazing food we were enjoying at the many great restaurants nearby! Overall, a brilliant stay in a beautiful hotel with outstanding service and an unbeatable location. Highly recommended.

Disliked:While we had a generally pleasant stay at the Legacy Ottoman Hotel, there were a few minor issues that, while not deal-breakers, did become a bit frustrating over time. One of the main annoyances was the room key card system. Each time you pass through the security gate at the entrance, it can deactivate your card, which then won’t let you back into your room. This meant multiple trips to reception just to get it reactivated, which quickly became inconvenient. The building itself is quite old, as it is government-owned, and while it is still maintained to a good standard, you can definitely feel its age in certain areas. We were informed that renovations are planned in the next couple of years, which will likely make a big difference. Overall, these issues were relatively minor, but worth noting for future guests so they know what to expect. The hotel is still comfortable and well-kept, but a few operational improvements would go a long way in enhancing the overall experience.
