This was our second stay at the Ambassador, after a lapse of six years. The hotel hasn't aged much, if at all, although the prices have gone up a fair bit. It still has a spot-on location, extremely convenient for the historic part of Istanbul and for the tram to take you to the newer part. The staff was very... more

We spent 5 days at the Ambassador, for Orthodox Easter in 2008. This is a fantastic little hotel tucked into a quiet side street in the heart of Sultanahmet (the main tourist part of Istanbul). Its located only a few minutes walk from Agia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The staff are unbelievably helpful and friendly. They will help you... more

The Ambassador Hotel sits in the middle of the Sultanhamet neighborhood of Istanbul and serves as the perfect spot to stage your visit to Istanbul. The Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Roman Cistern, and more restaurants than you can count are just steps away. Transportation is not necessary to get to the historic points of Istanbul. Even the Grand... more

Stayed here for 5 nights in April 2007. Perfectly located - some good restaurants near by, close to tram stop and all sights in old Istanbul. View from terrace amazing - best at night - nice place to sit and have a final drink before bed. Hotel staff were very knowledgeable and booked a fish restaurant for us under the... more

The hotel is conveniently located to all the major sights in Sultanahmet. The staff were extremely helpful in advising on the best travel routes for trips further afield. The hotel may not be as modern as a Hilton but the hotel offers a much more personal experience. The hotel is very clean and offers a great choice of dishes for... more

The Ambassador's location is as prime as it gets, with a rooftop terrace with a marvelous view over the Aya Sofya, the Blue Mosque and the sea of Marmara. The breakfast itself was also really top notch, with some really marvelous hot dishes that changed from day to day. Our room was small, but clean, and very recently redecorated. The... more

The Ambassador Hotel proved to be a welcome respite from the large, anonymous American-style hotels which many tourists choose when overseas. The location is phenomenal, with an amazing terrace view of both the Aya Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The staff, especially Nuray and Melanie, could not have been nicer, speaking perfect English and offering many suggestions for sights and... more

Spent three nights at the Ambassador. They had a package that entailed picking me up and returning me to the airport and two days of guided tours. It was convenient to everything in the historical district. I really enjoyed my experience and would recommend this trip to anyone. more

We stayed in the Ambassador Hotel back in December 2006-January 2007. We were met at the airport by our hotel-organized transfer promptly. Check-in was friendly and helpful. The rooms looked exactly as they do in the Hotel Photos, and we got quite attatched to them. The beds were always clean and comfortable. The bathroom was average-small sized and usually clean,... more
