The building retains its historic Corinthian architectural details, including goat and ram heads on the façade, making it a visually unique place to stay. The hotel was built in 2014 and offers only six rooms, ranging from Economy Single and Double Attic rooms to Standard Triple rooms and a Kitchenette Double on the ground floor.

Büyük Mecidiye Camii is one of the most picturesque mosques in Istanbul.
Its location right by the water makes it truly special, and with the Bosphorus Bridge in the background, the view is absolutely stunning. The combination of the elegant mosque architecture, the sea, and the bridge creates an iconic scene that is perfect for photos.
It’s a wonderful spot to walk around, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere. The area around the mosque is lively yet very pleasant, with beautiful views in every direction.
Definitely a must-visit location if you want some of the best photo opportunities in Istanbul and a lovely place to spend some time by the Bosphorus.

Ortaköy Mosque is absolutely beautiful—soft, pink-toned, delicate, and very feminine in its design. It feels elegant and light, and honestly one of the most photogenic mosques in Istanbul. There’s something very gentle about it that makes it stand out from the others.

What makes it even more special is its location right by the bay. The views of the water, the Bosphorus Bridge, and the boats passing by give it a very romantic and peaceful vibe, especially in the late afternoon or around sunset. It’s one of those places where you naturally slow down and just enjoy the moment.

The mosque is in a very convenient area, surrounded by cafés and restaurants, and just steps away from the ferry port. It’s easy to include in your day, whether you’re walking along the waterfront, hopping on a ferry, or stopping for a meal nearby.

Overall, Ortaköy Mosque feels intimate, charming, and perfectly placed. Beautiful architecture, amazing views, and a lovely atmosphere all in one spot. Definitely worth visiting and lingering a bit.

Ortaköy Mosque looks almost unreal. Light and elegant, standing right at the edge of the Bosphorus with the bridge rising behind it. Inside is calm and intimate; outside is full Istanbul energy with stalls, people, and the city rushing by. A perfect blend of sacred quiet and urban chaos. Beautiful, photogenic, and absolutely worth a stop. Especially at sunset or evening

One of my favorite places to visit, it's so picturesque with views of the Bosphorus Strait, Buyuk Mecidye Mosque and the Bosphorus Bridge. The Mosque itself is beautiful with view of the Bosphorus from inside and stunning chandeliers. A must see when in istanbul.

Entry to the mosque is donations only no ticket is required.

Beautiful spot right on the Bosphorus! I recommend getting here by public boat — it’s the most scenic and enjoyable way to arrive. The view from outside was nice.

From here, you can see the bridge connecting the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, and even the two continents themselves.

The area around is lively and full of great street food and cafés, plus there’s a large bazaar nearby with some of the best prices in Istanbul, much better than the more touristy areas.

Not good but for ortaköy location nice
We didnt stay at the same room in the pictures. They help to carry our luagage upstairs. Room wsnt clean and didnt get much clean rather than trashes and when we asked for different sheets. There is no sound cancelation. Room is generally old. Price was okey but i would recommend different options. Location was great tho

Büyük Mecidiyie Mosque is gorgeous! Visitors to Istanbul should not miss ths place especially at night !
You can have amazing view if you are coming by ferry from Bebek port or Eminouno .

Ortaköy Mosque is a true gem in Istanbul! Its stunning architecture and picturesque location by the Bosphorus create a serene atmosphere. The intricate details of the mosque's design are breathtaking, and the views from the surrounding area are simply unforgettable. Visiting during sunset was particularly magical. Highly recommend adding this beautiful site to your itinerary!
12.10.2024 Ivan
A beautiful mosque. For me, one of the most stunning in Istanbul. It's small but incredibly charming. It's not as promoted as others and isn't overwhelmed by tourists, but it's definitely worth a visit. Located right by the sea, beneath the bridge connecting Europe and Asia. Don’t miss it!
