Check rates for Radisson Blu Hotel Istanbul Ottomare
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Istanbulhotel search — search for “Radisson Blu Hotel Istanbul Ottomare” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +90 212 939 45 00 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
Book it for Marmaray access and room comfort; accept breakfast quality and cleanliness niggles — our hotel data provider records no star class, but the 9.6 out of 10 supplier score is real and dated.
There is no official star classification in our seed for this property — we do not invent one. The address is Kazlıçeşme in Zeytinburnu, with Kazlıçeşme Marmaray at 0.3 km, Hagia Sophia at 4 km, the Blue Mosque at 4.1 km and Topkapı at 4.2 km. Location scores 10 out of 10; room quality 9.95.
The supplier rating is 9.6 out of 10 from 3,646 reviews, captured 6 January 2026. Service scores 9.99 — Gamze’s name appears in the analysis — while food and beverage sits at 8.99 with breakfast quality named as a con. Cleanliness is 8.99 with issues mentioned; a high bathtub price is another odd con in the highlights.
Facilities include fitness centre, swimming pool, restaurant, bar, terrace, garden, family rooms, pets allowed and parking. Taksim is 7.5 km — this is a historic-corridor base, not a nightlife one.
Pros name friendly staff, good customer service and nice room quality. Cons name cleanliness issues, breakfast quality and the bathtub pricing note. Mixed value feelings sit at 9.44 on the score with pricing grumbles in the summary.
Best for
- Families who want Sultanahmet within a few kilometres and Marmaray at the door
- Travellers who prioritise room quality scores over a Bosphorus address
- Anyone comfortable booking without a published star class when guest data is this detailed
Not for
- Taksim-and-İstiklal nights — Taksim is 7.5 km away
- Guests who treat breakfast as the product — food and beverage scores 8.99 with quality named as a con
- Anyone who needs a five-star badge on the page — our seed has none for this hotel

The supplier’s overall score
Third-party guest reviews: 9.6/10 from 3,646 reviews — as of
This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.

Radisson Blu Hotel Istanbul Ottomare — common questions

- Because our hotel data provider’s seed row carries no official star classification for Radisson Blu Hotel Istanbul Ottomare. We show the 9.6 out of 10 supplier score from 3,646 reviews as of 6 January 2026, the facilities list and the complaints — we do not guess a star band.

- On distance, yes — Hagia Sophia is 4 km, the Blue Mosque 4.1 km and Kazlıçeşme Marmaray 0.3 km. On breakfast and cleanliness, read the caveats: food and beverage scores 8.99 and cleanliness 8.99 with issues named in the same analysis.
- What time is check-in and check-out at Radisson Blu Hotel Istanbul Ottomare?
