Blue Gilroy Hotel

Room was big, penser ans staff Nice and helpful. Location is excellent, and breakfast was very Honest for à hôtel of that size.

Very clean room very kind and friendly staff very helpful to advising on the best places to go the staff made the trip aswell I’ll deffinatly be staying again but for longer this time

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.

Very close to the most of the places to go.

Idéal location and friendly staff
Hôtel is very calm and clean

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.

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.

Very cool

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage war perfekt. Sehr zentral und trotzdem ruhig. Das Frühstück war völlig ausreichend und man konnte direkt in den Tag starten. Tram war 3 Min zu füss entfernt. Wir kommen wieder.

We spent 8 days at the Blue Gilroy and we have only good things to say. We had a spacious triple which looked out onto a courtyard and a beautiful orange tree with oranges just beyond our reach. The room was clean and comfortable with hardwood floors, a Turkish rug, and chandelier giving it a lot of charm. Most importantly, the bathroom was clean and updated, nice glass enclosed shower.
Breakfast was simple but enough to get us going each day; fresh orange slices, hard boiled eggs, salads, and plenty of toasts and breads.
The hotel is located just off the main street and it was convenient to walk to everything. We very easily figured out the metro, funicular, Maramaray and spent the week exploring the greater Istanbul area. The Blue Gilroy was safe annd quiet, and we never worried about walking around the area even late at night.
The Blue Gilroy personnel were friendly and helpful. If you are going to spend a few days in Istanbul, make it at the Blue Gilroy. You will enjoy it.

Das Zimmer ist großzügig, schön neue renoviert.
Das Bad ist muffig sie haben mit Mottenkugel zu beseitigen, leider es rocht sehr streng.
Die Lokal ist fußläufig erreichbar sehr nette Familie Betrieb

This is a great place to stay while you are in Istanbul. The hotel is in a safe location, the staff are friendly, the hotel is clean, and it is good to know Mubashir and the other staff.

We wanted to visit Istanbul were looking for a hotel which is in walking distance from the places of interest. Location of the hotel is perfect!

Hotel war sauber und sehr central. Es war zu Fuss alles gut erreichbar.

It’s good for sleeping, we were most of the time out but it’s comfortable for sleeping and has the basics, the food it’s good

Gerçekten çok temizdi
Tuvalet banyo çok temizdi
Sadece kahvaltı çeşidi biraz daha fazla olabilirdi

Very quiet apart from the “call to prayer” from the nearby mosque.
All staff were very helpful. An ideal location for walking to the main tourist sites and restaurants.
