Highlights - Blu Hotel

  • ✓ Excellent location, just a few minutes’ walk from Aksaray Metro (M1) and T1 Tram line both connections to the airport line and tourist sites.
  • ✓ Almost next door to Historia Shopping and Life Center great for food courts, brands, and supplies.
  • ✓ A relatively new hotel with clean lines of modern baths and elevators not always given in historic Istanbul.
  • ✓ Value for Money: One of the best deals in town, far from all those overpriced tourist restaurants either in Sultanahmet or Taksim.
  • ✓ Friendly Staff: Known to be helpful with directions and even arranging a ride in this part of busy town.
  • × Traffic Noise: Vatan Avenue is a major 6-lane highway; front-facing rooms can hear traffic noise day and night.
  • × Busy Neighborhood: The hectic commercial area of Aksaray/Fatih quickly gives way to romantic notions of quiet cobblestone streets just outside the immediate areas of Sultanahmet.
  • × Room Size: Standard rooms are very compact. This is totally normal and to be expected in central Istanbul properties.

Complete Review - Blu Hotel

  • Price vs Quality A totally modern, clean, safe room with breakfast for a fraction of the cost at luxury hotels.
  • Staff & Service Fast and friendly. The reception is 24/7, used to international clients, quick in fulfilling any request.
  • Location Logistically perfect for moving around the city. Unfortunately, the immediate street is a busy highway rather than a scenic promenade.
  • Area Very urban and commercial. Shops, malls, and government buildings surround you. Safe but hectic.
  • Cleanliness Level This is one major aspect in which the place excels. Spotless rooms with modern laminate flooring and clean linens.
  • Breakfast Variety A typical Turkish spread for breakfast (olives, cheese, bread, tea). Decent enough sustenance but not a culinary experience.
