Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often highlight the Amber Hotel & Spa's convenient location, within walking distance of key attractions like the Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, as well as being near many restaurants. The rooms are generally appreciated for being clean, with daily cleaning service provided, though some guests felt that the hotel might not fully meet the standards expected of a 4-star establishment. Many guests enjoyed the Turkish breakfast, especially when enjoyed with a beautiful view of the Sea of Marmara from the top of the hotel, and appreciated receiving complimentary bottled water daily.
