The property is in the best location...dated, but functional. Staff were extremely helpful in any issues that I wanted resolved. The downside...and VERY IMPORTANT was that between 10.00 am and 6.00 pm the road is closed to all traffic leading to the hotel. I had a semi disabled wife with me, and we had to walk uphill for about 100 to 150 metres with our luggage to reach the hotel. It was the same walk after staying in the hotel. The staff did come to help with the luggage, buit be warned if u have more than one suitcase or a big family with children.

As a start the only good thing about this hotel might be (?) in a good location near the Mosques BUT is in the middle of a chaotic narrow street full of restaurants and smoking people. The hotel has a total of 22 rooms.
The room was way less than you would spect for the rate paid. We had to get the broken shower head fixed in the very, very, small bathroom. The breakfast Buffett was not great either. They took care of our transportation from the airport for which we paid $70 to be driven in a clunky, smelly, smoked, no shock absorbers old van to mention a few. I made this big mistake of not getting a much better hotel for the occasion…. So my advise to you is be generous with yourself and get a decent hotel, for our standards this was not.

Room was tidy and clean. Alot smaller than they appear on pictures. The bathroom and especially the toilet was really tight!

Location wise its brilliant, right in between blue mosque and hagia sofia. Metro stop is in front too. Lots of eatries.

One disadvantage is that the hotel is in between numerous restaurants and cafes. So if you get a room that is facing them it will likely be noisy till late.

Staff were extremely helpful and polite. Breakfast was decent. The restaurant on 5th floor has view of the mosques which is pretty nice

Would definitely consider staying again for a short stay maybe not with family.

Great central location

The staff was very friendly and professional. The room was lovely. However they had a deodorizer in the room that was so strong. It permeated all of our clothing and suitcase. They may want to remove those. The eating area on the roof provided lovely views of Istanbul and decent food.

The hotel is in an ideal location as all the shops and local attractions are near by including the mosques
The only downfall is noise levels at night due to resterants near by
I would come back as its an ideal location for the first time in Instanbul and the.view feom the rooftop is amazing

The location of the hotel is very centric for the transportation. There is plenty of points of interest near the hotel. Breakfast has choices. The staff in the front is very friendly. We did the Turkish hamman and they were able to accommodate children. This is a very family friendly hotel.

Perfect location close to attractions. It was a little hard to find as the sign was not very big, but location was perfect. Breakfast was absolutely amazing!!! Staff was friendly and let us check in early as our room was ready early. Definitely recommend. Location is far from the airport you will need to Uber/cab it there. Hotel offers 50 euro transportation. Using metro can take 2hrs with transfers. We opted for Uber (most users are cabs). Location and breakfast was most important to us and air conditioning. This place was perfect. We booked two rooms because we have older kids. The had two rooms connected with a locking door (very nice to have that). Highly recommend this hotel!!!

I had a great stay at this charming hotel. While it’s not very big, it was incredibly accommodating and had everything I needed. The staff were outstanding—special thanks to Yaseen and Zulfiye, who were especially helpful and friendly throughout my stay. Their warm hospitality really made a difference. The breakfast was a highlight—fresh, tasty, and a perfect start to the day. The location is also fantastic, literally right next to the trams, which made getting around so convenient. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

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.

Shower head so badly calcium encrusted, water came only out the sides. Biddet inside the shower, felt unsanitary as water would splash out of the biddet onto you as you tried to shower with the restricted shower head. Shower was very mouldy. TV did not work at all. Room felt like it had no noise insulation, could hear everything, footsteps, people speaking. I stayed on the 4th floor underneath the rooftop restaurant, staff sat out on the 5th floor until 2am chatting, lack of insulation meant I could hear everything.
Small selection for breakfast.
Staff seemed indifferent and not approachable or friendly.

The location was amazing and the restaurant on top roof was very nice all modern and clean with panoramic view of the city. The rooms were so small, old and dirty. Shower was horrible. They are writing in the website that they have service to clean the room. But they didn’t. After one week of my stay a guy asked me if he should clean my room.
I don’t really recommend it because there’s a lot other good locations in istanbul with better hotels.
