Great hospitality, and highly communicative staff, safe, convenient location and clean.

Kurban made my stay easy and helped me get the most out of my short time there. He helped arrange all bookings, answered my questions and walked me around the area to help me get my bearings.

The hotel rooftop has a great view and is a fun high vibrant space for fantastic food, a glass of wine and Shisha, and great DJ open to requests to make it all about the guests. I loved that.

My room was clean with fully stocked toiletries, and my near proximity view of the Blue Mosque made it perfect.

Finally, the breakfast each morning was nothing short of amazing. They had a wide selection of food and everything was fresh and tasted incredible!! if you are in Sultanahmet, I highly recommend this place. Great value for what you get.

The terrace was spectacular and the food at the cafe there was very yummy. The only issue we had was upon arrival at the Galataport terminal we were expecting a transfer to the hotel. I had emailed the hotel months prior to make arrangements and get a quote and then after waiting 40 minutes hailed a quote which charged us 5x what we should've paid and didn't drop us in front of the hotel. We were told on artival they don't do transfers from the port, but i have emails that quote a price. On our morning of departure, after 2 confirmations, front desk called our transfer service to find out they hadn't sent anyone and it was a last minute rush to get out the door. Staff were friendly and apoligetic for the misunderstandings which were probably solely from language barriers. Room was clean. Hotel was half a block from the Blue Mosque!

This was our second stay at the Blue House Hotel and you cannot ask for a better location in the Old City (Sultanhamet). The charming, traditional wooden house property is steps away from the Blue Mosque and has a rooftop terrace overlooking the famous site. Yasar, Vahap and Hakki were gracious and very helpful hosts during our stay. The included breakfast was a delicious mix of Western and Turkish cuisine!

The Arasta Bazaar is literally right next door. It has a wonderful variety of souvenirs, local artwork, turkish delight, spices, rugs, jewelry, etc. that almost makes the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market skippable. What it doesn't have is the crowds of people! The Tree of Life ceramics store in front of the hotel is also worth a visit to see the amazing pottery and ceramic tiles for sale. A discount is provided for guests of the hotel.

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, although, I feel sorry for the hotel owners - Sultanamet is outdated and the restaurants are way over-priced. Went for dinner in other areas like Karikov and Kardikoy most nights. Expect Turkish breakfast buffet. Explore other local areas for a more authentic experience. No aircon in winter months until early summer. We visited in late April and had to sleep with the windows open, which meant an early awakening to the noise on the streets and the call to prayer. Affordable accommodation but everything in the area is overpriced, including the tourist attractions.

The breakfast was great, especially the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The location is fabulous, about one block from the park that joins the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. In this park is also a historic hammam. Even closer is a small bazaar with interesting shops. The area is hilly, so you have walk up or down to get to most nearby shops and restaurants.

Blue House Hotel is located within walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and other famous landmarks of this beautiful city. The hotel has a hotel on the top floor which has wonderful/breathtaking views of the Blue Mosque and Bosporus Sea. Our hotel room and bathroom was on the small side for 3 people, but it was cleaned everyday, fresh towels and toiletries were left for our use.
Breakfast was very tasty with a large selection of fresh vegetables, fruits, cakes, cheese, olives and a variety of salads. Also cereals, jams and hot and cold drinks were available. Hasan on the reception desk was always very helpful and gave advise when asked. My only criticism would be that the hotel did not allow an iron in the room. If we wanted our clothes ironed then we had to pay for laundry and an ironing service.

The hotel was terribly disappointing. This is the second time we stay here and although the location was excellent, which at this point seems to be the only draw, the hotel was so dirty. The breakfast that was supposed to be over by 10:30 was finished by 9:30 and I saw a mouse running around in the dining room. The breakfast selection was basically cereal by the time we went at 9:45. The room was not clean and the bathroom was mouldy and the shower didn't really work.

Bad:

When we asked about it, he suggested coffee is not part of breakfast and recommended to buy coffee in cafe outside. When we challenged that coffee is part of breakfast, he said we are wrong. I asked him for his name so that we could complain to management but he said he is not obliged to provide his name as this is just boutique hotel. Whatever it is is, his behaviour and attitude was totally shock to us. Rest of staff were welcoming.

2) wifi simply did not work inside room. We complained about it but they could not fix it.

What I liked:
A-Location:
The hotel is conveniently located within a very short walking distance of Istanbul’s “must-see” sites of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia- Blue Mosque Park, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Hippodrome, Arasta Bazar, and Hurrem Sultan Historical Turkish Bath. Sultan Ahmet Station tram is also close. The hotel is also within a reasonable walking distance to Little Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazar, Egyptian Bazar, Vezneciler Subway Station, Sirkeci/Marmaray Transport Station, Gulhane Park, and Eminonu (famous fish sandwich). The hotel surrounding area offers an endless number of restaurants, gifts and souvenir shops, and mini-markets.
B-Safety:
The hotel’s surrounding area is very safe.
C-Reception team:
The team was excellent. Team members were always ready to help in a professional and cordial manner. Special thanks to “Furat” for his sincere efforts in making guests enjoy their stay at the Blue House Hotel. He was also motivated, prompt in action, and provided good advice. Good job.
D-Room/Housekeeping:
The room was reasonable in size. It was clean. Towels and bed sheets were changed daily. Fresh supplies of toiletries were provided every day. Thank you.
What I disliked:
Breakfast: The variety was good. However, the breakfast team was not up to the task. Despite rescue attempts (by Omar), shortcomings were repeated and had a negative impact on breakfast. It is a shame as this hotel is unique for offering a spacious in/outdoor dining area.

A great place to stay

What a great stay. The Blue Mosque was right outside our window. The staff were attentive and helpful. One of the staff even helped my wife and I carry our luggage to the airport bus five minutes walk across the square between the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. The breakfast was excellent although we were very disappointed that it was in their ground floor dining area not on their roof top terrace which is only open from 12 noon to midnight. The hotel even has a scale for weighing luggage. You'll need a pair of earplugs if you sleep with the window open as the early morning call to prayer and nighttime dinner show across the street will otherwise keep you up.

Great Location but street noise transmits easily.

Check in went smooth, but for the price we paid, we would get 2 single beds, since the last queen bed room available was their premium room. I paid for the upgrade and glad I did. Can’t beat the location of the hotel. Place was clean.

However, due to central location, the place is a bit noisy from the street. The live music & whirling dervish show will go till midnight, dogs will bark after the music stops, and then the call for prayer will awaken you just as you nodded off. None of this is the fault of the hotel, but it is a reality.

Bedding is a bit out dated and they could use an additional electrical outlet for charging devices, but other than that I would stay there again.

Also, day time staff spoke good English, however night shift does not, nor did the wait staff on the roof top restaurant. View was great on the roof, but food was mediocre at best.

Also, room phone to call front desk either does not work, or it needs instructions next to the phone. Can not contact front desk with room phone.

Amazing historical stay at the Blue House Hotel

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Blue House Hotel. The hotel is a beacon of history and is located a stone's throw from the Blue Mosque. The location is prime for Sultanahmet with numerous sights within a 5 minute walk. The rooftop view is magical. The breakfast is delectable and ample. We sat in the garden under the shade of the Blue Mosque every morning of our stay. The staff is also very kind. We did not get the family room as we booked, but the staff made sure to apologize for the mistake and we were upgraded to sea view rooms. Additionally, we had a 3:30am departure on the last night of our stay and the hotel staff made sure that we had breakfast plates prior to leaving. We were very impressed by this small but meaningful touch. I highly recommend a stay here! Keep in mind however that the rooms and bathrooms are very small, though probably standard for the Sultanahmet area of Istanbul.

Blue House, Istanbul.

We first visited the Blue House in the nineties. It hasn’t really changed that much. It’s not expensive for what you get and the rooftop terrace gives stunning views over the Blue Mosque and Sultanahmet. You can also see Haghia Sophia. Some of the rooms are really quite small but perhaps all you need for a short stay. It’s definitely in a quiet and central area for the historic sites. There is a faded element to the hotel; you feel some money could be spent upon it. The service is generally good but a little unstructured perhaps. Breakfast is a comprehensive buffet with Turkish dishes too.

Ideal location

Great hotel! The location couldn't be better. Service was excellent. Terrace restaurant was convenient as well. Nice view of the Blue Mosque and water right out our window. Shower was small, but a small price to pay for such a great location.

Great location for exploring Istanbul.

Amazing location for the price. Only a 2 minute walk to the Blue Mosque area. About 5 minutes to the metro and restaurants. We had a view of the Blue Mosque to the right and the Bosphorus straight to the left. The bathrooms are small, but the location and view made up for it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Even though we were right in the middle of things, the hotel was very quiet and peaceful.

Best possible location, half a block to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. Staff were super friendly. They couldn't do enough for you.

The Staff was amazing. They went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. The location is fabulous, right next to major sites. We stayed there both before and after a tour and it was great both times.

I enjoyed my stay at Blue House Hotel. The room was on the smaller side but enough for me as I was traveling alone. Breakfast was a viable in the morning downstairs in buffet style. The hotel is really close to the Blue Mosque so everything in the Sultanahmet area is easily accessible. It’s also close to the metro so you can easily get to any point in the city. My only compliant would be the noise that you can here from outside, Other than that my stay was nice. The hotel is safe and someone is always st the front desk.

Staff are very nice
Breakfast is good
Location is great
Hotel is clean
Only one thing I didn’t like is that one elevator stuck while I was inside but took only a minute to resolve it.

Great Location, Superb View

This hotel is about 400 yards from the tram stop, which offers a connection (with 1 change) to Ataturk Airport.
The room we were given (36) had a superb view of the Blue Mosque, however it was just a little on the small size and the bathroom was definitely on the small size, the toilet was right in front of the shower and you had to clamber over it to get into the shower, also you had to sit on the toilet at an angle. Everything was clean though.
The furniture in the room was a little dated.
Breakfast was a little ordinary, but it was included in the room price. Surprisingly enough considering it was Turkey, there was only instant coffee available.
The staff were extremely helpful.
The location was brilliant, within easy walking distance of most things.
I would certainly stay there again !
