Perfect location to visit Aya Sofia ,Blue Mosque
And many more historic locations to visit.
Lots of restaurants and shopping locations just walking distance.
No need transportation.
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.
It was a really good experience there in Blue House Hotel. Everything was amazing perfect. Most importantly location was great close to all amenities & even at night time we just walked around blue mosque. Highly recommended 👍👍
We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Hotel. Its close to the Blue Mosque, has an open terrace restaurant with amazing view of the mosque! The rooms are cute, love the wooded closets and chairs. Staff is friendly and helpful!!
The staff were very nice and respectful especially a receptionist under the name of Fatih was very nice and answered all our questions. The location is amazing we would walk to blue mosque and Hagia Sofia. Breakfast was vey delicious and varied. The rooftop was very relaxing and nice view.
Loved everything about it. Breakfast was provided and great as well. We walked right out our door and all the sights were right there. We will definitely stay again if we go back. It's a hidden gem.

The hotel was cute and had a homey vibe to it. Staff super friendly and helpful. The only thing I would complain about is the wifi was very glitchy and not reliable.
Imagine seeing blue mosque in front of you from your room. 2mins walk to blue mosque and 4mins walk to hagia sofia. Great location. Nice rooftop restaurant. Awesome staff and service. Only small problem was wifi sometimes disconnected.

The location is best part of the deal as it’s in a waking distance from the historical locations, multiple types of restaurants and bazaars. The front desk guys are very friendly and helpful in arranging the city tours and airport transport. However, the room was very small same as it the bathroom.
The hotel was nice and clean it was very convenient located near Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Topaki Palace. Everything's very convenient and within walking distance this was the best thing about it the hotel was nice and clean. The was very respectable. This booking did the job and I recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to visit Istanbul is well worth it. The stuff already helpful if you need to book any excursions and will do that almost try to accommodate your request.

We had a great, comfortable time at the Blue House hotel. The staff members were very helpful and friendly. Reshad helped us to organize things to do. 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.
