The excellent 3* Ambassador Hotel (locally rated as 4*) is situated in the heart of Sultanahmet, Istanbul's very historic city centre. Offering contemporary accommodation combined with real Turkish hospitality and historic charm (the hotel was built over 150 years ago), the Ambassador has managed to maintain its historical flavour by completely restoring the lovely wooden façade to its original splendour. With only 22 rooms, guests at the hotel are ensured a personal and warm service. All rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, telephone, minibar, television and hairdryer. A varied buffet breakfast is served in the roftoop terrace restaurant (fabulous views!) and additional public facilities allow guests to experience a real Turkish bath and massage at the hands of a qualified local masseur (chargeable).
