Great location! Directly on the tram line and within walking distance of many sites including Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Basillica Cistern, Gran Bazaar and more. Very pleasant and helpful staff! Free WIFI as well as internet within the hotel. Lovely rooms and roof top terrace! Great breakfast with lots of variety! Excellent value for money!

The place has had a really well-done facelift, but all the same characteristics that make this hotel special are still in place: personable staff, great location, and a killer view from the roof. The hotel pick-up deal is really good, and it made... More

The Ambassador hotel has been recommended to us by friends. It is a good tourist hotel with all amenities you need during a shorter stay. Friendly, helpful staff, clean and well equipped. The rooms are a trifle dingy, on the small side (although we had a room for 3), but this is compensated by the breathtaking view of the terrace... More

We live in Turkey and fly to the States often. Whenever we need to stay over in Istanbul we stay at the Ambassador Hotel. It is very clean and the staff is excellent and speak English. They will make you feel very welcome and can direct you anywhere you want to go in the area. The location is perfect if... More

This is a great little hotel. I've been there about 3 times and enjoyed every moment. Exceptionally well positioned for great access to the best experiences and sites of old Istanbul. The staff is friendly as if you are old friends and yet quite professional. I travel the world - this is one of my personal favorites! Not glitzy, posh... More

Ideal location for sightseeing.Across the street from Blue Mosque & Hippodrome.The tram line is right outside the hotel,hence extremely convinient to visit other tourist attractions.Friendly staff & good breakfast to start your day. Rooms are extremely small esp the bathroom. Please do not go for the turkish hamman they offer in the basement, it is dark n dingy.. Overall value... More
