How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
Where The Old Ottoman Castle sits
The Old Ottoman Castle is an aparthotel on Muhsine Hatun Mah. Samsa Sok. No.7 in Fatih, Istanbul, postcode 34130. The landmarks around it are close in a straight line: Little Hagia Sophia and the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque are each about 0.6 km away, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 1 km, and the Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.3 km. Hagia Sophia is about 1.4 km and Topkapı Palace about 1.9 km.

From a 45 m² penthouse to a 75 m² two-bedroom apartment
The Penthouse Apartment is the smallest at 45 m² and the only one with a sea view; it has a queen bed and two sofa beds. The Superior Apartment, at 50 m², has one queen and one twin bed, which suits a couple travelling with one companion.
The Apartment with Balcony and the Deluxe Apartment are both 55 m². The first pairs a queen bed with two twin beds; the second has a super-king bed and two twin beds, so it is the one to pick if you want the widest bed. The largest units are the Two-Bedroom Suite at 70 m² and the Two-Bedroom Apartment at 75 m², each with a queen bed, three twin beds and two sofa beds spread over two bedrooms. These two are the natural choice for a family or a group sharing one unit, and the hotel offers family rooms among its room types.

What the aparthotel offers
This is an aparthotel but the property works like a small hotel. It has a restaurant and a bar, and room service if you would rather eat in your apartment. A lift serves the building.
Parking is paid. The airport shuttle is also paid.
Check-in, children and pets
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed, and with family rooms and two-bedroom units of 70 and 75 m², the property is set up for them. Pets are not allowed. Parking is paid.
Who it suits and who it does not
The Old Ottoman Castle suits travellers who want space and their own beds rather than a standard hotel room: every unit is 45 m² or larger, and the two-bedroom options give a family or a group of friends separate sleeping areas under one roof. The penthouse adds a sea view for a couple or a small party who want it.
It does not suit pet owners, as pets are not allowed. Drivers should note that parking costs extra.
