    rooftop views
    cozy atmosphere
    great coffee
    breakfast variety

    We had an amazing stay with cozy evenings spent at the rooftop restaurant, enjoying the stunning views while sipping some great coffee. The garden area was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the city. The only downside was that the breakfast selection could use a bit more variety, but it didn't take away from our overall enjoyment! 🌟

    Great location with stunning views!

    We spent 3 nights in a family room. The location is prime for sightseeing, just a short walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff was super helpful, especially when we had questions. The rooftop restaurant had awesome breakfast options, but the room got pretty hot at night. Overall, it was a fantastic stay!

    breathtaking rooftop views
    hearty turkish breakfast
    cramped room
    limited breakfast choices

    The rooftop views of the Blue Mosque were just breathtaking. Plus, the staff were super accommodating, always up for help.

    While the vibe was cool, the room felt cramped and a bit outdated. One lamp was out, and getting the TV going took forever! Breakfast options were mostly salty, which left my taste buds asking for a little more.

    great location
    unclean bathroom
    rude staff

    The location was great, perfect for sightseeing.

    Upon arrival, the room was not clean, and the bathroom was mouldy. I was also appalled to see a mouse scurrying around the dining area during breakfast. The breakfast itself was a farce. by the time I arrived, the selection was reduced to cereal, and I had to deal with staff's rude behavior when I expressed my concerns.

    Stunning views but noisy mornings

    The Blue House Hotel offers stunning rooftop views of iconic sites, and the helpful staff made every moment more enjoyable. The breakfast spread was a delightful start to each day.

    However, my peace was disrupted by early morning cleaning noises, and the room temperature was quite warm, prompting us to open the windows at night.

    unreliable wifi

    Service was standout with the friendly staff always ready to assist. The rooftop restaurant provided a stunning view of the Blue Mosque while enjoying breakfast, including delicious vermicelli. However, the room felt cramped for our group, and surprisingly noisy cleaning disrupted our sleep early in the morning. Wifi was often unreliable, making it difficult to stay connected during the visit.

    spacious room
    stunning views
    poor wifi
    non-functional air conditioning
    warm room

    The spacious deluxe twin room offered ample comfort and was well-equipped for a relaxed stay. Exceptional meals included home-made sweets that captured the essence of local flavors, and the rooftop terrace provided breathtaking views. Unfortunately, the air conditioning was not functional, causing the room to feel uncomfortably warm, and the wifi signal was poor, making it challenging to stay connected during our visit.
