Lapis Inn Hotel & Spa ( Ex. Ambassador Hotel)0

The thing I liked the most was the location. The absolute best. Right in city center, few meters away from Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, tram stations. If you are looking to stay as close as possible to the main attractions then this is the place.

Because we only stayed one night maybe it wasn't the best room what we got and that's ok, the thing is that in the bathroom there was some sort of leakage. There was water coming from underneath the sink, so there was always a pool of water in the bathroom. Also, the shower didn't look so good either. It looked dated and overall not great. Also, at around 12 p.m they started making some loud loud noises because of the plumbing. We went down at the reception to ask and they told us that it's because the sewerage. So, my mom wasn't able to sleep until they were gone.

The best location to go sight seeing !!! It is right opposite to the blue mosque and all the other sights in the area. Everything is walkable and the Tram station is right next door. Amazing restaurants around the place !!! The hotel offers free tea, coffee and snacks for an hour in the evening everyday which is really kind of them. The place is new and very clean. The breakfast is very good with fresh fruits, eggs, breadd, salad bar, tea, coffee, juices etc. to top it u get eggs made as per ur wish. Everything is just perfect about the place. Last but not the least they gifted us tasty turkish delight as a parting gift when we were leaving ! The staff is really friendly and helpful ! Truly an amazing location and stay.

There is nothing not to like.

Excellent location, family friendly, close to main attractions

Breakfast menu could be better

Very centrally located to all the main attractions in Istanbul. also with easy access to other parts of the city via links to metro, tram, taxi etc. Clean and comfortable room, didn’t have much of a view but if we looked slightly to the right we had a small view of the Blue Mosque. No big deal as the terrace restaurant had the most amazing views of Sultanahmet Square and both the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosques 😍 Staff were very warm and friendly. I am especially grateful that they allowed us to check in early and had a room available for us after our long overnight train ride to Istanbul from Sofia. It was great to be able to have a shower and refresh before exploring the city. Breakfast was also great with a good selection and healthy options too.

Can’t fault this hotel, everything was great!

Excellent hotel with excellent location located at the old city center, extremely clean & comfortable ., walking distance from Haghia Sofia and most of the main historical touristic attractions. The hotel is very clean, the staff is extremely helpful, and the rooms are spacious and immaculate!. Breakfast delicious on the roof area with breathtaking view of Sofia mosque. After long day we were enjoying cup of coffee on the roof with again breathtaking now night view of Sofia mosque. Famous mosques, grand bazaar, shops, restaurants, metro, tramway are within walking distance 2-7 minutes. One of the best locations in Sultanahmet. Would definetely recommend this hotel to everybody and we will definitely come back.

We had a wonderful stay at Lapis Inn Hotel&Spa.From the moment we stay they got in touch with me if they can do anything else for me if I need to reserve a transfer from the airport to the hotel or arranging any tours in the city.The hotel is located right at the heart of the old city. The complimentary breakfast was also very good with the panoramic view of the hotel terrace.The rooms were clean and comfortable.the staff was also always eager to help the guests.I would definately stay there for my next trips to Istanbul.

Everything!

We liked everything at the hotel. The staff were very nice and very helpful with everything. The view from the hotel is spectacular and our favourite thing to do was have breakfast on the terrace. We were happy to learn that there was also a complimentary tea from the hotel everyday at 4 till 5. This service provided all types of coffee and tea aswell as some traditional Turkish cake.

Everthing was good

hotel location is very good because everything around near by the hotel .
