I had a lovely stay at Blue Gilroy. Absolutely loved my large double room on the top floor with massive windows overlooking the Marmara Sea. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the Blue Mosque. There are tons of cafes, shops and boutiques across the road.

2 day stay in Istanbul - June 2025

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.
