Hotel is a long way from tourist attractions.
The Hotel Ottoman City is located in Sisli, an area of the city known for business and shopping. While ideally located for business travellers, many tourists find the hotel to be too far from the Old Town and Istanbul's main tourist attractions. Guests wishing to visit these attractions can expect a costly cab ride or a lengthy bus journey.
negative:
Local neighbourhood lacks appeal.
A number of guests describe the area around the hotel as being less than desirable. Common concerns raised include vandalism, rubbish, and noise.
negative:
Some noise complaints issued.
Noise complaints have been
received from a number of past guests. In addition to street noise seeping into
the hotel, some guests also complain of internal noises. Reports suggest that
gaps beneath doors allow noises to filter through into guestrooms, while air
conditioning units are also said to be fairly loud.
