I spent my first few nights in Istanbul at the Blue House and absolutely loved it. The views from the rooftop are perfect! The view spans the historic district of Instanbul including the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia! Call to Pray can be heard loud and clear from several nearby mosques just before sunrise so if you don't want... More

Very well located hotel, a very short walk from the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Aya Sofia About 30 rooms spread over 4 floors We had room 37, if there was a better view from a room in Istanbul I would be surprised. To the left was the Bosphorus, but dominating the view was an uninterupted view of the Blue... More

Our college trip to Istanbul was made even more enjoyable by the wonderful and helpful service offered by Fatos and all the other hotel staff. Great location and clean rooms too. I would certainly go back

We had a suite of one queen size bed and another room with a convertible couch. The Blue Mosque, at night, daytime, and sunrise was incredibly beautiful. The nearby restaurants were very good; the staff was attentive; and the breakfasts were ample. All in all, it was a very satisfactory choice. If I ever go back to Istanbul, I would... More

I stayed here with a group of 25 women on a girls' holiday weekend. The hotel did its best to accommodate us and provided good service to our group. The room was tiny and since we were sharing rooms, that was a challenge. The shower was also tiny and we had trouble with it - poor water pressure and varying... More

We had a great stay here. I could lie on the bed and see the dome from my window as if it were (and it was) next door. Also, a few steps from the Agia Sophia and the Palace. Close to metro and Archaeological museum, too. Nice breakfast. Helpful desk staff. Our room was standard European size with good lighting.... More

Positive + great location - minutes by foot to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and others + wonderful service - at reception, the restaurant etc. Average = ok buffet breakfast ; mediocre coffee Negative - tiny room, minuscule shower, closet opens partly (bed in the way!) - very loud calls to prayers 5x per day -- I used earplugs.

This hotel is in a great location for visiting the sights of Sultanahmet. Its proximity to the Blue Mosque is however also its Achilles’ heel as the 5.15 am call to prayer can be hard to ignore. Then again the hotel fronts onto a restaurant which has live Turkish music every night until around 11.00 pm. So I’d bring earplugs.... More

I sent numerous emails to the hotel before and after arranging our stay for six nights and found the hotel extremely helpful and friendly at all times. I was arranging the trip for my octogenarian parents and as a result had several questions that occurred at different points during this time, and the hotel staff were extremely accommodating and helpful...

Small but nice rooms. Breakfast is okay, no better or worse than anywhere else. The best things about his hotel is the location and view. Ask for a corner room on the 3rd or 4th floor with a view. Most rooms actually don't have a view, but the corner rooms on the upper floors are to-die-for, especially when you compare... More
