I had a pretty good stay at Ottoman's Life Hotel, but it wasn’t all perfect. The location is spot-on, being next to a shopping mall and close to the tram for easy access to the city center. The staff were super friendly and willing to help with anything I needed. However, I did find the dining options could use a bit of improvement, and while my room was clean, it wasn't exactly what I expected from the pictures.
