My stay at Amber Hotel & Spa in Istanbul had its ups and downs. While the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, helping with room issues and giving local recommendations, I found the accommodation itself lacking in space and comfort. The noise from the street made it a challenge to get a good night's sleep. However, the location had its perks with easy access to local attractions.

The room I stayed in was on the smaller side, which made it a bit cramped, and I felt the need for more space to move around. There was a lack of soundproofing, which contributed to the noisy nights from the street below.

Amber Hotel is located in Beyazit, which is a bit away from some key attractions like Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar. While it's not too far to walk, be prepared for a steep hill. There are some local eateries and shops around for convenience.

Breakfast was served on the rooftop terrace, which offered nice views and a glimpse of traditional Turkish cuisine. However, I felt that the variety could be improved, as it lacked some fresh fruits and pastries I expected.

I recently stayed at Amber Hotel & Spa for a few nights, and while the location was excellent, very close to the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia, there were some significant downsides. The room was quite small and had issues with noise from the street, making it hard to relax. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and helpful, although not without their own shortcomings in service delivery. Overall, my experience didn't quite live up to the expectations set by the hotel's star rating.
