Blue Istanbul Hotel

Loved the upper floor with sea view! That's the view to have! But beware of the seagulls when on the balcony! Room.comfy and spacious with big window. Easy walking distance to Blue Mosque and Sultanamet area. Little convenient store just opposite hotel.

The hostel is very well located, amid all major attractions, but also very importantly close to the tram stop of T1 from where you can embark on your journeys around the immense city. Considering prices in Istanbul, it is a very good value. My room was comfortable, clean, cozy, even there seemed to be floor heating in the bathroom! The staff is extremely courteous, helpful and do a great job. I thank them all for the professionalism and kindness.

If you're looking for a place that combines convenience, comfort, and heartfelt hospitality, Blue Istanbul Hotel should be at the top of your list. Nestled in an easily accessible location, it serves as the perfect base to explore the vibrant city of Istanbul without the hassle of complicated commutes. The rooms are clean, adequately equipped, and offer the essential comforts. Just a small tip: the room sizes vary, so it's worth booking based on your space preferences. Breakfast was a delightful spread with enough variety to cater to different tastes and dietary requirements. But what truly sets this charming little hotel apart is its people. The warmth, helpfulness, and genuine care displayed by the entire team reflect a level of hospitality that is sadly rare in many places across Turkey. A special mention goes to Ali, the hotel manager! Despite the issues I faced in Turkey being completely unrelated to the hotel, Ali went out of his way and well beyond the call of duty to assist. Sharp, swift, and sincere, he offers thoughtful advice and solutions with an unwavering smile, even under pressure or when dealing with demanding guests. His approach is not just professional, but personal — and it makes all the difference, and his commitment speaks volumes about the hotel’s ethos. The entire team deserves commendation for their consistent effort to make guests feel welcome, supported, and valued. Blue Istanbul Hotel is more than just a place to stay — it's a place that feels like home, thanks to the people who run. Highly recommended. I would return without hesitation.
