“Hotel Blue Ottoman stands out for its location, a short walk to the Blue Mosque and convenient to tram lines. I'm impressed that some rooms offer clear views of the iconic mosque, adding to the experience. I also noted that early arrivals may be accommodated, and breakfast on the roof includes made-to-order options, a thoughtful touch.”
