Ottoman Hotel
Istanbul, Turkey
6.5COSY
The Ottoman Hotel wins guests over through attentive, warm-hearted staff (Diyar Bey, Nazlı Hanım, Rami Bey named by name) and a homely atmosphere that makes visitors feel they're staying with friends rather than in a hotel, though small, clean rooms and a superb breakfast on a well-positioned terrace provide the practical comforts rather than architectural charm.
