“Avoid this place”

This air conditioning was a major problem. We tried repeatedly to have them turn it higher but they said the system would not allow it. It would go off automatically at times and we had to call down at the front desk to have it restarted. It was in the 90 when we were there and could not sleep well cause it was too hot at night. This should only be rated a 2 star hotel. It is tired and worn. Many better ones to choose form in the area that are about the same price and much better condition.

Traveller's tip
We took a side trip to Ephesus by plane and the travel agency was outstanding with its service. I highly recommend Aline Travel.

“Central location”

We stayed for five days in the Allstar and chose the hotel based on previous Tripadvisor user feedback. The hotel staff was very helpfull and friendly. The hotel was located central to all attractions and transport. The only negatives were poor AC in middle of the summer temps and the mattress was quite firm; ie box springs w/o mattress? Despite all this the price was acceptable.

Traveller's tip
There are numerous hotels, motels, B&B's in the old part of Istanbul. Just make sure you are close to the tram line.

“Wonderful Location, Helpful Stuff”

This location is very near the Blue Mosque and very central to get around Istanbul. The Hotel receptionist was friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Room clean, breakfast fantastic view on roof terrace and food great to set you up for the day. Walking outside the hotel, lots of restaurants to choose from and the best one is right outside the hotel. Very friendly and good was fantastic. Stayed for the weekend and ended up eating here 3 times. All the staff at the hotel were friendly, helpful and looked after us so well. Would stay here again and recommended to everyone. Note: If you are thinking about a tsfr from hotel to airport, book with the hotel, easier, cheaper and less hassle.

“A great find”

Great value hotel, with very friendly staff, who make it a real home from home. Plus the location couldn't be better, both for the sights and restaurants. Would go back!

“piccolo hotel in perfetta posizione e”

Hotel Ambassador è una piccolo struttura in una posizione PERFETTA per visitare Istanbul: si trova a sultanahmet, a 2 minuti a piedi dalla moschea blu, haya sofia,1 minuto dalla fermata metro ( CHIARISSIMA e che permette di raggiungere persino l'aeroporto o la zona piena di movida "TAXIM"), e a 5 minuti a piedi dal Grand Bazar. L'hotel è nuovissimo, ha la connessione wifi gratuita, nonchè un centro benessere con massaggi di ogni tipo e un favoloso bagno turco. L'unica pecca è la colazione, poco abbondante, ma CREDETEMI è davvero l'unica pecca che ho potuto riscontrare! Se proprio vogliamo trovare un difetto oltre alla colazione è la dimensione delle camerene del bagno:ma si suppone che si passi davveo poco tempo in camera!Non manca davvero niente q questo hotel e se tornerò a Istanbul sicuramente soggiornerò ancora lì!

Area recommendations
consiglio a tutti di vedere ovviamente l'area piena di storia, Sultan ahmet con la moschea Blu, Haya sofia e la Cisterna basilica, poi Taxim, dove ci sono locali fantastici e moivida 24ore su 24; Beyazit dove c'è il Grand Bazar............merita di essere vista TUTTA...la parte al di là del Bosforo è un pò meno entusiasmante...ma comunque da vedere! Consiglio inoltre di provare una delle serate tipiche turche al locale ISTANBUL IN, il World trade center vicino all'aeroporton Ataturk...potrei andare avanti all'infinito! Istanbul è una città FANTASTICA... Quello che più consiglio è di "calarsi" nelle loro abitudini, come ad esempio bere una bevanda di nome Ayran, oppure di assaggiare le pannocchie x strada, le castagne....il succo di melograno ecc...
Getting there
la soluzione migliore e più economica in assoluto è, una volta arrivati all'aeroporto Ataturk, prendereil treno in direzione ZEYTINBURNU e poi cambiare il trenino e prendere quello che va verso KABATAS... scendendo alla fermata SULTAN HAMET: il tutto oper 3 lire turche...circa 1.50 euro!

“Das Allstar Ambassadorf Hotel ist von seiner Lage her sicher unschlagbar.”

Das Hotel liegt unmittelbar neben der Blauen Moschee und der Hagia Sophia. Gleich dahinter befindet sich der Topkapipalast. Es ist komplett neu renoviert und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Zimmer sind nicht übermäßig groß, aber für einen Städtereisenden ausreichend. In unserem Fall wohnten wir neben dem Lift und dem Treppenhaus, was manchmal störend, aber nicht wirklich ein Problem war. Das Hotel liegt in einer kleinen Seitengasse, unmittelbar neben diversen netten Lokalen. Die Terrasse im 6. Stock ist ein Erlebnis, der Blick von dort atemberaubend. Wir hatten Frühstücksbuffet, das genau unseren Vorstellungen entsprach. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten waren für uns zu Fuß leicht erreichbar. Diese Stadt und vor allem dieses Hotel wird uns bestimmt wiedersehen.

Area recommendations
Den gesamten Altstadtbereich, die auf der anderen Seite des Goldenen Horn gelegene Neustadt, die vielen Basare und unzähligen Sehenswürdigkeiten des alten Konstantinopel (vor allem die Basilika Zisterne nahe der Hagia Sophia und die alten Stadtmauern). Leider war es uns nicht möglich, den asiatischen Teil zu besuchen, da uns die Zeit davonlief.
When to go
Wir waren zu Ostern dort - da kann es mitunter ziemlich kalt und regnerisch sein. Besser wäre Mai/Juni. Im Sommer ist es zu heiß, wie man uns sagte. Erst im Herbst (September/Oktober) dürfte es wieder gehen.
Getting there
Wir kamen mit dem Flugzeug und wurden von einem Shuttle zum Hotel gebracht. Hat alles klaglos funktioniert.
Getting around
Wir waren hauptsächlich zu Fuß unterwegs und oft erstaunt, wie nahe die Sehenswürdigkeiten beieinanderliegen. Auch die Neustadt über dem Goldenen Horn war für uns leicht zu Fuß erreichbar. Für weitere Strecken benützt man am besten die Straßenbahn.
What to pack
Zu Ostern war es noch fallweise kalt und an einem Tag total verregnet. Wir waren daher froh, noch sehr warme Kleidung mitgehabt zu haben. Sobald die Sonne herauskommt wird es aber sehr schnell angenehm warm.
Must see
Da wir nur 5 Tage Zeit hatten, besuchten wir vorwiegend die klassischen Ziele wie Hagia Sophia, Blaue Mosche, Topkapipalast, die Zisterne, das Hyppodrom, die Mauern von Konstantinopel und das alte Pera, wo sich heute die Neustadt befindet.
Dining
In unmittelbarer Nähe des Hotels gibt es mehrere nette Restaurants. Die türkischen Gastgeber sind durchweg sehr freundlich, natürlich versucht jeder, die Gäste in sein Lokal zu bekommen, was aber von uns nicht als aufdringlich empfunden wurde. Man findet aber auch sonst überall eine Unzahl an Restaurants, deren Preise proportional zur Entfernung von der Altstadt sinken.

“Zentral gelegen”

Das Hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen, aber dennoch relativ ruhig. Die großen Sehenswürigkeiten der Innenstadt sind in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß errreichbar. Die Zimmer sind einfach gestaltet, ohne besondere Aussicht, aber sauber. Von der Dachterrasse (für Frühstück) hat man einen sehr guten Blick. Durchwegs als "Stützpunkt" für die Erkundung von Istanbul zu empfehlen!

“Ottima posizione”

Dall'hotel si possono raggiungere a piedi i principali luoghi d'interesse della città. Le camera dove abbiamo soggiornato non era grande ma per noi, che dovevamo solo dormirci, andava bene.Naturalmente abbiamo dovuto lasciare molti indumenti nella valigia, per via del poco spazio nell'armadio. La colazione veniva servita su una terrazza da dove potevamo ammirare la Moschea Blu e Hagia Sophia.

“Envie d'y retourner !”

Hôtel très bien situé au coeur du vieil Istanbul dans le quartier Sultanhamet ; ce qui nous a permis de visiter à pied les bazars,la mosquée bleue, Sainte-Sophie et le palais de Topkapi et de profiter le soir de l'animation du quartier. Les prestations de l'hôtel sont tout à fait correctes pour cette gamme de prix, le personnel est accueillant et parle anglais. Le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse face à la mosquée bleue est très agréable. Les chambres sont propres et au calme car donnent sur une petite rue.

Traveller's tip
Hôtel à recommander aux personnes qui veulent profiter au maximum du quartier Sultanhamet et qui n'ont pas besoin de prestations luxueuses
