2-night trip

Upon arrival we were upgraded to a lovely room with a balcony and sea view. Great location minutes from Sultanahmet mosque, Aya Sofia mosque, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and tram stops (Sultanahmet & Çemberlitaş). All the staff were very helpful throughout our stay, especially Ahmet.

If you are used to a typical western european breakfast, you will be disappointed. If you are up for what looked like a more local breakfast, I think you will be satisfied. For some reason it is not permitted to eat food in your room, witch in my oppinion is quite a big ask of the hotell.. There is no power in the mini-fridge, and the owner does not want to turn it on either. We had no TV, and some problems with the electrical outlets (witch got fixed) But all in all it was a very nice room, and the staff is very friendly! Its very close to the grand bazaar, the blue mosque, the tram and a lot of restaurants and shops.

Basher, the receptionist, was very welcoming and helpful by giving us information on which historical sites to visit. Breakfast was great, and the staff was very friendly.
5-night trip

10/10

We recently stayed at this lovely hotel and had a truly memorable experience. The location is absolutely perfect—tucked away just enough to offer peace and quiet, yet still within walking distance to many of Istanbul’s major attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. It’s a great balance for anyone wanting to explore the city without being right in the middle of the hustle and bustle. What truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Ahmed and Mubaasir at the reception. They were always welcoming and went above and beyond to assist us with anything we needed. Their professionalism and warmth really set the tone for our entire visit—they truly exemplify what great guest service is all about. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Mr. Saleh, during our stay. He was generous with his time and shared some fascinating stories and insights about the city and the hotel itself. It was a real highlight to connect with someone so passionate and knowledgeable. Overall, this hotel offers a perfect mix of location, comfort, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul.

Lovely, charming, well run, small hotel that is very close to the tram line and Sultanahmet Square. Very nice breakfast buffet. My room was huge! There is also a large enclosed terrace, complete with a few friendly cats. I very much enjoyed staying at this hotel.

This was truly an amazing experience at the Blue Gilroy Hotel during August of 2024. The hotel Owner (Saleh), Mubashir, Ahmed and all the young ladies who cleaned our rooms and served us breakfast were warm, hospitable, and engaging while going above and beyond our expectations. My family loved how close the hotel was to the main Sultanahmet square, grocery stores and the Sultanahmet tram station. They have airport transfer service, laundry service, breakfast buffet and an outside garden with seating.The price for this fancy hotel was very worth it and we can't wait to return to Blue Gilroy during our next Istanbul trip!
