Blue Gilroy Hotel

The team at Blue Gilroy exemplified outstanding customer service. Even when we slept in a little past 10am, they re-opened the breakfast buffet for our family to enjoy their great selection. Also, the rooms were very fancy and clean. This hotel is a gem in Sultanahmet.

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. 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!

Excellent location, all cultural sites within walking distance, and room with a wonderful outdoor terrace, Thank you!

Great hotel , welcoming staff and Manger Salih eas a wonderful person. Reception guy who name is Mubashir is ani e guy. Everything went okay. Definitely will come back.

This property is very-well located with eateries galore right outside this quaint boutique hotel. Main Street is a one-minute walk away and the sites abound in all directions. My room was spacious, clean and well-appointed. Unfortunately, the call-to-prayer sound tower was situated right outside my window (3rd floor) and the ritual is deafening....5 times a day starting at 5:30AM. By Western standards, the provided breakfast was tasty but lacked any fruit or egg options other than solf-boiled and/or sliced eggs. Chicken sausage was the sole breakfast-meal choice other than cold-cuts. If taking a taxi to this hotel, be prepared to be blocked-in by other vehicles in front of you and to the rear. I found the staff and owner to be ready to engage in conversation in English on several topics which made me feel like a person more than just a customer! Being disabled, my only serious concern/negative feedback is that of the steep down-sloping marble entrance/exit stairs that have no ramp. It was explained to me by the owner he has petitioned the Turkish-version of Historical Places for a ramp several times over the years only to be denied the ramp due to the building being of historical value/relevance. With that said, this property is not truly "handicap-accessible." Otherwise, I would gladly stay here again if my travels were to bring me back to Istanbul. All in all, I have no qualms in recommending this hotel to others!

Extremely cozy and clean and in a great central location. The staff was very welcoming and responsive. Would definitely stay again.
