Never stay in this hotel
I arrived 8:30pm check me in at 11:00pm. I walked in; the small lobby of the hotel was full of bags and customers. The hotel manager was in a dispute with a customer and his wife. The manger was saying that he doesn’t have a room in this building, he pushing them to go to another hotel but the customer didn’t wanted. After 20 minutes argument he give them a room. Then the manager started the same thing with another customer and he sent the customer to another hotel and continues. Finally, my turn. He said, you booked a regular room and we have standard room. I said, whatever you have, give me a room because I’m very tired. He replied that I have to pay extra. I said, okay, then he said, I don't have room here I will send you to another hotel. Actually I didn’t want, but I had to. There was another employees I walked with to another hotel but the manager refuse, he took me to four different hotel everyone refuse, finally they took me to a room in house. There was construction was going in that house. The room was newly remodeled floor was covered with dust and paint, AC was not working, no Wi-Fi. I went back to the hotel manager and asked for a better room. He refused; I had no choice and stayed in that room. I checked out tomorrow but they didn’t refund for the rest of my days.

Good location
I stayed for 6 nights, the location was close for people who intend ti walk to the blue mosque and the surrounding touristic places. But the hotel is not as it shown in the photos. The staff is warm but they're not much helpful, for example the television wasn't working and I told them many times but they didn't respond. But overall it's good for its price.

management are rude and hotel is down steep roads
The stay at the hotel ruined my holiday I traveled with my husband and 3 children.I had paid extra for the room I booked to make sure we all had beds to sleep in.when we got to the hotel the staff on the desk were nice,how ever when I got to the room and realized it was not the one i had paid for,I went back to reception to ask them to change my room for the one I had booked,management would not acknowledge there mistake and became very rude.I called expedia and they did try to resolve the problem however the hotel was not being very co operative.over all,me and my husband ended up sleeping in uncomfortable sofa beds,being bittenen by bugs,not getting any sleep, because the windows did not close properly so we could here what was going on in the streets.Because we got no rest in the hotel and constantly having to ask for every little things to be done again and again,we were not able to enjoy our holiday,the children were always tried and we were counting my days down to go back home.If you want to waste your money and ruin your holiday this is definitely the hotel to pick.TIP;when you have booked your room make sure you print out,not just the reservation but also the picture of the room you have booked,so you have some proof of what you have paid for and what you are suppose to get when you get there.

Disappointing!!
Upon arrival i was very angry to discover we would be transferred to their lower class sister hotel that resembled a hostel due to a problem with the room and as were booked for 2 nights the room would only be vacant the next day. The next morn they said they'd move our luggage to original hotel and upgraded us to sea view, however upon arrival half our luggage was missing, they'd forgot to bring all the bags. Complete waste of time., they didn't even apologise we had to wait for them to bring it plus paid for higher class and were put up in hostel first night, very bad service, do not stay here!!!

Good location but run down.
My room was quite run down. 1 TV didn't work and the other could only get 1 channel. Drapes were broken and not covering window adequately. Room supposedly accommodated 6 but way to small for 6. Single key card had room number on it so do not lose it. Best thing about hotel is the location.

Good (if the price is right)
I booked 2 double rooms at Blue Istanbul Suites for a party of 3 for 3 nights. When we arrived only one triple room (not a suite) available at Blue Istanbul Hotel for the first night. Two rooms (not suites) available for the remainder of our stay. Rooms were clean and comfortable but a bit run down (like the surrounding area). However location is excellent (5 minute walk to major attractions). Hotel paid for one airport transfer to make up for not having two rooms on first night so overall happy at the price (£66.51/night inc taxes).

Bait and switch
Tried to put me in a different "hotel", basically a walk-up hovel in a bad part of town with no lock on the door. Had to walk 10 minutes over hilly cobblestones thru dicey traffic to get there. They grudgingly gave me the room I booked after I retraced my steps and refused the switch. My email was phished and hijacked immediately once I started using their wifi, and it took a week to get my mail provider to stop locking me out due to "spam activity". The afternoon before I was due to check-out I decided to stay in Istanbul 2 more days, and asked to extend there (convenience); at first the response was "looks full, check later", whereupon I pointed out they currently had half a dozen rooms listed on your website at discounts. Shuffled some papers and the answer changed to "ok, you can have it." In the morning I got a call from reception: "we're full, you'll have to move. We can help you find another hotel." I, of course, declined their help and booked another room (online) elsewhere... a better room at a better location for about the same $$.

Außen hui - innen pfui.
Das gilt sowohl für das Hotel als auch vor allem für das Personal. Eine ausführliche Bewertung ist leider nicht möglich, da Expedia die Zeichenanzahl begrenzt. Deshalb hier in kurz und trocken: Am ersten Tag angekommen war unser Zimmer „nicht fertig“. Man hat uns (auch nach 3-maligem Nachfragen „kostenlos“) auf die Suite geupgradet welche ihren Namen nicht verdient. Am nächsten Tag bekamen wir ein Zimmer im Keller. Ohne Fenster. Mit einem Wasserschaden gegenüber bei dem die Suppe mal mehr oder weniger stark die Wände runterlief, je nachdem ob weiter oben gerade jemand gespült hatte. So auch bei unserer Toilettenspülung die auf Dauerbetrieb eingestellt war. Da sich die Tür zur Toilette nicht schließen ließ war das „Schlafen unter erschwerten Bedingungen.“ Ich nehme an der offene Wasserlauf im Flur des Hotels war auch der Grund für den Stromausfall im ganzen Hotel. TV, Wi-Fi und Kühlschrank waren vorher aber auch nicht funktionsfähig also gab es für uns dadurch keine Einschränkungen. Die Lampen im Zimmer mit einer 3 Zentimeter dicken Staubschicht drauf. Das Hotelpersonal ignorierte uns nachdem wir am zweiten Tag nicht mehr als das Doppelte des ursprünglichen Zimmerpreises für das „kostenlose upgrade“ bezahlen wollten. Das Geld haben sie am Ende dann allerdings doch noch erpresst, da mein Ausweis beim Einchecken einbehalten wurde und man mich ansonsten nicht auschecken lassen wollte. Ein Alptraum. Mehr passt hier nicht hin.

Kiva boutique hotelli
Kiva pieni hotelli. Mukavat pienet huoneet ja kiva siivoushenkilökunta ja tilat. Hyvän matkan päästä kaikista nähtävyyksistä mutta hotelli on todella vaikea löytää myös taxin. Ainut miinus oli että en meinannut millään saada ostamaani huonetta vaan päällekkäisvarauksien vuoksi jouduin vaihtamaan huonetta monta kertaa sitä huonompaan mistä olin maksanut ja ensimmäisen yön jouduin jopa toiseen hotelliin mitä en ollut edes varannut ja kuulin että usealle muulle oli käynyt samoin ja he vaihtoivat jopa hotellin toiseen.

KATASTROPHE
Das Hotel ist eine einzige Lüge. Die Bilder im Internet spiegeln die Realität nicht mal ansatzweise wieder. Das Hotelzimer war im Kellergeschoss!!! Nachdem wir etwas lauter wurden, hat man uns ein anderes Zimmer für 60EUR mehr angeboten. Es sei jedoch noch nicht fertig und müsste hergerichtet werden. War erstmal ok. Als wir nach 2 Std wieder ins Hotel zurückkehrte war das Zimmer nicht mehr verfügbar?!?!?!?! Man wollte uns dann in eine abgelegene Privatunterkunft (offene Stromleitungen, Schimmel, Dreck, Rauch) unterbringen. NUR ÜBER MEINE LEICHE!!! Dann hat man uns in ein anders Hotel (Santa Sofia) unterbringen wollen (Der Chef ist hier der selbe!) Nicht ganz so schlimm wie die Privatunterkunft aber sehr ähnlich. Offene Stromleitungen und Schimmel im ganzen Hotel. Nicht empfehlenswert. Absolute Abzocke. FINGER WEG!!! NIEMALS WIEDER. Da schlafe ich lieber auf einer Parkbank inmitten von Istanbul!

Niedliches Hotel in Sultanahmet
Positif: Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut. 5 min Gehweg zu Hagia Sophia und Sultanahmet Moschee(Blaue Moschee). Das Personal ist nett und hilfsbereit. Ruhige Gegend. Preis ist in Ordnung. In der Nähe befindet sich ein Laden. Negatif: Schwierig mit dem Auto zu erreichen, da die Straßen sehr eng und vollgeparkt sind. An der Sauberkeit muss das Hotel noch besser arbeiten. Kleine Zimmer. Fazit: Für die, die ein Hotel im Zentrum suchen und nur für das Schlafen gedacht ist, kann ich das Hotel empfehlen. Preis-Leistung ok.
