Just a stone's throw from Hippodrome Square, the newly renovated (2010) Lausos Hotel enjoys a great location in what is considered Old Istanbul, i. e. the district of Sultanahmet. The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace are all, literally, at guests' feet. A 3-minute walk in the opposite direction brings guests to Sultanahmet tram stop and a direct link across the Golden Horn to vibrant and energetic Beyoglu. Similarly, the Grand Bazaar is just 10 minutes away. All in all, a great location complemented by the quality of the rooms, all of which offer a Jacuzzi or compact power shower cubicle, air conditioning, cable television, mini bar and hair dryer. Guests can also enjoy complimentary Wi-fi, a generous buffet breakfast, or tea and coffee in the comfortable lobby. Staff are multilingual and always available to assist guests with their travel plans during their stay in Istanbul.
