A peaceful haven in the ancient city of Istanbul

Staying at the Lapis Inn Hotel & Spa (formerly Ambassador Hotel) in Istanbul was truly a wonderful experience. The hotel is located at Alemdar Ticarethane Cikmazi No 3 Fatih, in a prime location. The surrounding attractions are very convenient, whether it's the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, or Spice Market, all within walking distance. Transportation is also convenient, just a 2-minute walk from Hagia Sophia, 2 minutes from the Blue Mosque, and only 10 minutes to the Grand Bazaar. The hotel's decor style leans towards a combination of modern and elegant, with well-equipped facilities. The interior layout is exquisite, the lobby is spacious and bright, and the reception staff are very friendly and professional, speaking multiple languages, making us feel very warm. As soon as you enter the lobby, you can feel a sense of comfort. The rooms are not large but very comfortable and clean, with soft beds and complete facilities. Every night, there are Turkish delights as a welcome gift, a small detail that shows great hospitality. The room experience was very pleasant, although the room was not large, it was clean and tidy, and very cozy. The bed was very comfortable, and I slept soundly. The room facilities were also complete, with all the bathroom equipment, and a small balcony overlooking the surrounding scenery. Every night, enjoying the night view of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia from the rooftop terrace was truly enjoyable. Staying here also saved a lot of trouble finding restaurants, as there are many good restaurants and cafes nearby. Skyline Soiree Rooftop Restaurant, Vamos Restaurant, Havana Bar & Restaurant, etc., are all within a few minutes' walk. Enjoying the beautiful scenery and delicious food in the rooftop breakfast area in the morning is definitely a highlight, with a rich breakfast selection to satisfy your taste buds. Although the hotel is located in a small alley, it may be a bit difficult to find at first, but this is also one of its charms. Once you find it, you can enjoy a great experience of tranquility in the midst of the hustle and bustle. It is recommended to ask passersby for directions when you first arrive, and you will find it quickly. Overall, Lapis Inn Hotel & Spa is definitely an excellent accommodation choice for a trip to Istanbul. Reasonably priced, with a great location, comfortable rooms, and friendly and enthusiastic service. If I come to Istanbul again, I will definitely choose to stay here again! 🍃🌆
