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!

Awesome place
Really a great location. Walking distance from all the sites. Good restaurants nearby. Staff were helpful and their breakfast was awesome. Pretty big spread. Didn’t get to use the spa. But there’s always next time. Definitely will be back and rebook. Thanks for hosting us.

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was perfect ! The location was great ! Right on the best street with the blue mosque and Hagia Sofia 1 min walk away ! Rashid was really helpful at reception and so we’re the rest of the hotel staff. Breakfast on the 5th floor had amazing views ! The terrace is a really nice place to relax and take in the views. Loads of food places right on your doorstep as well! Will definitely be staying again !

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Good location but the pics on Expedia are misleading. Equivalent of a 2* hotel. Very ok breakfast too. No real window - overlooking the AC ducts.
