Perfect location

The Ambassador was the perfect location for my stay in Istanbul: a short walk to the Blue Mosque and Agia Sophia, cafes outside the door, an easy stroll to the Grand Bazaar. Hotel staff were excellent and very friendly. Gold stars to the Ambassador!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. They recommended a very nice restaurant in the neighborhood, booked a tour for us, advised a good place to exchange money, etc. Location could not be better! Literally minutes to walk to most of places of interest.

Friends around

Pros: Breakfast was the best breakfast that we have so far in this holidays. They certainly care about their guest. They included some Turkish food as well.
Cons: The room furniture could improve as overall the room was basic but clean. The air conditioner was really noisy. Toilet could do with new fittings.
Location: The location was perfect and close to everything, which was a bonus for us . The old Istanbul is full of beautiful places to discover and experience.
Our stay in the Ambasador Hotel was great. From the moment that we arrived people were so friendly that we instantly felt at home. Nothing was a problem. The transportation that they organised were on time and cheaper that other hotels in the area.
