The Ambassador is a small, well-priced boutique hotel in Istanbul, which has attracted a loyal following of admirers over the years, mainly due to its impeccable staff and great location. Close to the Sultanahmet Square and Blue Mosque, it also boasts divine views over the Marmara Sea from its rooftop terrace. Without a doubt one of the most charming hotels in the city.

The facilities

On the minimal side, in keeping with the intimate atmosphere. There's a small restaurant and bar area that serves traditional Turkish fare. In recent years the Ambassador has also added a fitness centre and sauna, as well as compiling its own guide to the city, which it hands out to guests on arrival.

The rooms

Each of the twenty guestrooms are comfortable and functional, and all have been individually decorated. Wifi connection features in all rooms, alongside mini bars and satellite televisions. The two Junior Suites have Jacuzzi tubs.
