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

Quaint hotel with great location, less than a 3 minute walk from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Third and fourth floor rooms on one side of the building have great views of the Blue Mosque as does the roof top terrace. Friendly staff was accommodating in giving us the room with the best view. Breakfast was ok, but nothing... More

With this hotel it is location, location,location. You can see the Blue Mosque from your window, and the terrace restaurant is worth a visit. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We also left some of our shopping in the store room for our return a week later and everything was in order. The room are clean and neat but... More

This quaint little hotel offers the best location in the Sultanahmet (old city) area of Istanbul. We were very close to all of the main sightseeing locations. The hotel is well kept, clean and the people there were very friendly and helpful. From the top floor, the views are breath taking, one side are the mosque the other was the... More

Nice, charming hotel with exceptional friendly staff and a good breakfast. We enjoyed our stay there. Breathtaking views from their hotel which is located on the 5th floor. The hotel is located within 100 meters of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. There is also a market right across the hotel. The only negative was that there is a whirling... More

My husband and I recently stayed at the Blue House Hotel for our wedding anniversary. The title says it all, this hotel is the best location for visiting Sultananhmet, everything is so close by. The only downside of this is that the restaurants are very touristy in this area, but that doesn't matter if you take the time to search... More
