What guests think
At Lapis Inn Hotel & Spa ( Ex. Ambassador Hotel), travellers praise the central location steps from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, the welcoming staff, and the rooftop terrace with striking views and generally well-liked breakfasts.
Many note small rooms and tight bathrooms, occasional noise from nearby restaurants or the rooftop, and some rooms with limited natural light or poor views. While many find it clean, others report bathroom issues, worn linens, or maintenance needs like mold, broken fixtures, and dated decor. Expect a friendly base in a prime sightseeing area with standout terrace views.
