Great hotel, near the sites

We had a great time at this hotel. The beds were comfortable, great breakfast, and helpful staff. It was less than 5 minutes to Ayasafiya, which is great. Also lots of access to restaurants and shops.

I really loved staying here and will come back next time in Turkey. The staff were wonderful!! They made being there really easy and were helpful in everything even arranging my taxi to the airport. The woman who does the massage and hammam was excellent.. I would totally recommend her. It was a great location… an easy walk to all of the main attractions.. and excellent restaurants just a step out of the door. My favourite was breakfast on the terrace and incredible view of the mosques…It was lovely being there!

Lapis Inn was probably the most convenient hotel we have ever stayed in. The location is the best, you just cannot find anything better and specially for the price. When we came to Istanbul, we did not want to drive around on the Taxi,. And the priority was the location, we definitely achieved it to us Lapis Inn. Downtown is just few minutes away, the grand bazaar, all kinds of shopping, pork… If you just want to stay in Istanbul and enjoy the culture, the food and the shopping this is the most perfect spot to stay. Even though it’s located right in the center, the hotel is very quiet I think because the entrance is not on the street but hidden away. When you are hungry, you just have to go downstairs and step out of the hotel, they million of great restaurants steps away. Very nice and cozy hookah bar right outside of the hotel, when you come out, just turn left. And never-ending shopping is right outside of the hotel. There’s also a great breakfast, variety of different foods for every diet Gorgeous for you from the terrace on the roof while you have your breakfast. It is a very clean hotel, not super fancy, but very clean. Hamam is also a must experience.

Wonderful location

We stayed in the corner suite (#501) on the top floor. There were only 2 rooms on that floor. Most of the floor was taken up by a terrace with an amazing view and the breakfast area. I loved the location on the hotel and the room. The AC unit blows straight into my head (I did not like it). The bathroom area was much newer than the bedroom area (I like both of them). The breakfast included many kinds of fresh cheese a couple of types of fruits, vegetables. There were 4 types of hot dishes for breakfast that were different every day. In the afternoon, there was tea and cookies for the guests. The staff was very helpful and nice.

We had a fabulous family stay at the Lapis Inn. We had a spacious family room which was cleaned daily and fresh water bottles added every day. The views from the terrace are amazing and the surrounding historical sites within easy walking distance. The area is full of restaurants and shops. Breakfast choice was brilliant with eggs cooked to order perfectly (thanks chef!). The staff were excellent - all friendly and welcoming. Fully recommended.
