Not the easiest of hotels to get to from taxi from airport.
The hotel itself is quite quaint and well looked after, although the room size was really quite small

We had a fantastic experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely perfect , close to everything in the historical area with easy access to public transport, shops, and restaurants. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. Their professionalism and kindness really made a difference. I would definitely stay here again!
09.05.2025 Guest
Worst experience ever. The room was not as booked and everything was broken in this room. The card was declined by hotel without any reason. When we got there, the receptionist gave room with small discount. And the one truth about country - if they see tourist, they see only money.
19.05.2024 Ganna
First and main advantage is good location in Sultanahmet district. Rooms are quite small and need repairing, but the bed is comfortable and bed lining - clean. Breakfast is simple but enough. Personal is polite and helpful, some people talk English.
13.05.2024 Guest
We spent four nights at the Grand Ambiance Hotel and had an excellent experience overall. The hotel is located ideally for all the main attractions in the Old Town and there is also a nice view of the Blue Mosque from room 501. Breakfast is topically Turkish, with some homemade cakes too. The breakfast area enjoys a nice sea view too A special thanks to the two ladies running breakfast, they were wonderful. Reception staff, Shukru and Kamola in particular, are equally polite and helpful. Grand Ambiance Hotel is an excellent choice and we will be definitely back!
09.05.2024 Guest
Terrible experience. We rented the most expensive room and we believe it was abandoned. They changed our room 3 times. Neither the shower nor the heating worked, the bed was terrible, the blanket did not cover our feet, the pillows were old and small, the noise on the roof was terrible at night due to animals, the fabric of the curtains was not enough to close them and came in all the light from outside. It is very old and most of the spaces have not been remodeled. We write all the details in booking.
02.03.2024 Guest
Unfortunately I had mixed feelings for our accommodation. I have to let special thanks to reception girl and boy. There are amazing. The breakfast was amazing too. But the women from housekeeping made some mistakes. They close and put our luggage in closet every day. They put also my phone charger in drawer, and unfortunately we took some traditional foods for our relatives and they magically disappeared. Generally is a very good location. But in case that you choose to stay there, do not let the housekeepers going inside.

Whole atmosphere was great!

Thank you for the best service we have ever witnessed in Istanbul. I came here for a good meal from Kazakhstan with my friends, but also got a very good emotions. Kurban is very intelligent and welcoming person, all the staff was friendly and polite. Thank you!!
24.06.2025 Adelya
COME DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY! Super fun place if you're looking for a sparklers-DJ-dancing-on-a-rooftop vibe. We went late night for some drinks and caught a PARTY instead. If nightclubs are your scene, there's no better way to do it than here because you also have the best view of the blue mosque.
03.06.2025 Farzaneh
It was a fantastic experience with wonderful hospitality! We ordered drinks and food, and afterward, they generously brought us tea and some sweets on the house. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The food was delicious. if I visit Istanbul again, I’d definitely come back here. Also, such an amazing view.
25.04.2025 Nermin
I can only give all the praise for the Hotel and the employees. The hotel is in a great location where everything is available to you. From the moment we arrived, the employees welcomed us very warmly and helped us with our luggage. They were happy to help us with any information we needed. The rooms are tidy and are cleaned every morning. I even received a gift for my birthday that was waiting for me in the room to my wonderful surprise. My rating is 10. All recommendations from the bottom of my heart. I can very happily recommend this hotel. Thank you and see you next time. Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina
