Radisson Blu Hotel Istanbul Ottomare is an Fantastic hotel! It lays a little bit away of all the crowd of Istanbul. So you can enjoy and relax at the pool with a drink. You can even order Shisha (Nargile) at the Pool. The Marmaray Train station (since 2013) is at a 8 minutes walk distance. When you leave the Hotel, there is a ‘YEDIMAVI’ building on the right. Keep walking that road and after 8 minutes you can see the Marmaray Train station. There you can buy a Istanbul card at a Yellow machine at the station. It costs 25 Lira. Insert 50 Lira, you will get the card and have 25 Lira on it. To go to the very Touristic city (Eminönu Sirkeci) You can take the Gebze and Pendik Train. It’s only 3 stops, which takes about 9 minutes. You can hop off at Sirkeci which is Eminönu. To return to your hotel, you can take the Halkali, Ataköy or Zeytinburnu Train. Traveling from location A to B and to return only costs about 15 Lira! Whatever you do, don’t go inside of the Kapali Carsi. (Grand Bazaar) They ask crazy high prices. I also want to thank my brothers: - Baris (at the Pool bar) > Adamin dibi! - Sezer, who brought us the suitcases and helped us with our Room. - Melih the Lifeguard, very relax person. - Resul for helping me find my lost shirt. - Talha for helping us at the reception. - Arben for helping us at the reception. - Ibo for helping us at the Lobby bar - The entire Hotel basically.

Everything was fine, good service, friendly staff. My room type was changed to the higher category once arrived to the hotel, what was actually unexpected. Rooms are clean.

Staff were very helpful, always assisting and making sure we were being looked after. The day manager and night manager were very passionate about their job and went over and beyond to help and assist. The spa facilities were great and very clean and tidy, everything was very 2023 and modern. The restaurant for breakfast was great, a huge variety, they always baked me a fresh smit to go with my honey and cream. Very grateful for their efforts. Dinner was also superb. location is interesting as its far away from the hustle and bustle but only a 15 minute taxi away. I will be returning and look forward to it.

The staff were amazing, most very polite, welcoming, and always available to help and support. The suite was very spacious, and the bathroom facilities were loved by all the family. The cleaning staff was very trustworthy and kept the environment comfortable and clean throughout my staff. Spa 10/10. Treatments top class. My daughter loved the heated pool it became a night time ritual. Bahar and Saita, thank you for making my staff in Istanbul very special.

Lovely hotel, staff very friendly and helpful, it is a little bit further out of the main part of Istanbul, but there are good public transport connections and taxis are plentiful. Hotel was also very clean too. Be warned if taking a taxi make sure the driver switches the meter on don't be caught out paying too much if they don't.

Responsive staff at reception, although some of them did not speak English. There is a nice area with shops and restaurants called Fiskehane in few minutes walking distance. very nice spa facilities with Hammam, steam room, dry sauna and huge warm indoor pool, but they forced us to buy caps in the nearby shop to use the pool, while locals were swimming without caps.

Location: decent, 15 mins to Hagia Sophia, 20 mins to Grand Bazaar. Taxis just outside the hotel so very accessible and well priced. Felt like short journeys Breakfast: lovely breakfast. Great dips and cheese selections. Yummy omelettes and fried eggs. Granola. Stale pastries and limited but very much enjoyed other options Massage: great swedish massage, reasonably priced Swimming pools: good indoor swimming pool. Need to bring/purchase a cap to be allowed to use but is fine. Outdoor pool nice too Hair salon: husband got his hair cut, a little pricey but great cut and good service Room service food: reasonably tasty, not the best, not the worst

The location was good not too far from the hustle and bustle of the old city. Hotel itself is decent house keeping, restaurant and reception staff were friendly and polite. Booked a balcony room and were upgraded to a garden premium room.

Decent hotel of Radisson blu chain. Good location, 5 mins from the centre. The young guy on the reception made us upgrade the room with a nice view to the river, just it was on the low floor, so it was a bit noisy. Dessert was kindly provided. Reception is welcoming and fast check-in. Clean room with modern design

It's my second time here ...everything was excellent from the first minute at front desk with till check out . I Would like to thank Talha from front desk for his assistance always and professional way ...excellent hospitality oriented. Also Rasoul was very helpful at check in . The suite I stayed at was spacious, clean and equipped with everything with a beautiful view Just maybe they could add some more international TV channels and movies as 90% were Turkish. Food was also excellent as usual either at the breakfast or dining in .
