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.

We stayed in the Junior Suite on the second floor (room 204) which was one very spacious big room that included a large 3 seater sofa and king bed and the en-suite had a brilliant powerful shower. Large windows mean it's very light and airy and the view down to the busy street makes for great people watching. It's not super quiet but it didn't bother us. We liked watching the daily going ons. The room next to us (203) also had street views. Others have a courtyard view. We found the bed too soft but this is personal choice. Everything else was faultless with our room. The mini bar prices actually matched what we would pay at the local shops. The breakfast is what you would expect from a 3-star hotel, more or less the same every day, no bespoke omelettes etc, just hard boiled eggs, sausages, and loads of other bits like cheese, salads, biscuits/cake. Each item is fresh and they have a great coffee machine so we really enjoyed the breakfast. Staff are lovely. Rooms are cleaned and toiletries topped up daily unless specified not to. The location is PERFECT, very central. We loved the Blue Gilroy Hotel and would happily stay here again.

What An Amazing Experience at Blue Gilroy
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!
