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

We just returned from vacation and spent 4 nights at the Ambassador. The reviews from other travellers are all very accurate. Everyone on the staff was friendly and extremely helpful, the location is a stone's throw from the Blue Mosque and the Aya Sophia, the view from our breakfast table was amazing, and the breakfast buffet was excellent. But the... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Ambassador in the first week of the New Year, in a junior suite. We chose the Ambassador because we were keen to stay in the Sultanahmet, there weren't any nice rooms in more popular hotels like the Empress Zoe, the Ambassador seemed to offer a good price for a suite and there was... more

My husband and I spent a week at the Ambassador Hotel in May, 2007 and found the hotel to be ok. The hotel has very small old fashioned rooms with one of the hardest beds we have ever had the disadvantage to sleep on. We asked for a cushioned pad to be put on the bed but the hotel doesn't... more

We had been staying in another Sultanahmet hotel but were disappointed with the accomodations. Although the Ambassador was slightly more at about $80/night, it was well worth it. The rooftop deck where breakfast is served has possibly the most stunning view I have ever had while eating (or ever, really). It is simply breathtaking. And the breakfast buffet is pretty... more

My wife and I ( in our mid sixties) stayed at the Ambassador for 5 days. We were greeted with a friendly and english speaking front desk. Our room was decent size and clean. The small rooftop restaurant as a wonderful way to start each day with a very nice buffet breakfast and a great view of the old city... more

Overall a good experience due to the people working in the hotel. The physical condition of the hotel is so-so. In our room the TV didn't work, the cable connection was bare wires, also the phone didn;t work. That turned out to be a bare wire deal as well. Rooms are small and simple, but clean. The breakfast was very... more

Myself and two other friends stayed at this hotel for three nights, in room 502. We felt this triple room was large enough for our needs, and was very clean and tidy. The best thing about this hotel is the location. It is a stones throw from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, with great views from the terrace. The... more

My husband and I have just spent 4 nights at this wonderful little hotel. It was just as the reviews say. And all for 75 euros -including breakfast on the terrace, a free hour long massage and airport pick up (if booked directly via the hotel's website). And the views from the roof terrace really are beautiful. I took some... more
