How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
0.3 km from Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque
Blue Gilroy Hotel stands in the Binbirdirek neighbourhood of Fatih, Istanbul, at Dostluk Yurdu Street No:8. Its position puts several of the city's best-known monuments within a short straight-line radius: the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque is about 0.3 km away, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.4 km, the Basilica Cistern about 0.4 km and Hagia Sophia about 0.6 km.
Further out but still close, Topkapı Palace is about 1.1 km away in a straight line and the Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.3 km. Sirkeci railway station is about 0.9 km from the hotel. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.7 km away; the hotel runs an airport shuttle for a fee, in both directions.
From a 20 m² double to 30 m² triples and a suite
The Standard Double Room is the smallest at 20 m², with one queen bed and space for up to three guests. The Budget Double Room, at 21 m² with one double bed, also sleeps up to three, so the difference between the two is mainly the bed and a single square metre.
The two Deluxe Double Rooms sit at 22 m² each, sleep up to three on one double bed, and differ in what they look onto: one has a balcony and a city view, the other a sea view. A couple who want a view rather than extra floor space would choose between these two.
For three people sharing, the Standard Triple Room and the Deluxe Triple Room are both 30 m², the largest rooms in the house. The Standard Triple combines one twin bed with one double bed; the Deluxe Triple pairs one twin bed with one queen bed. The Junior Suite is also 30 m², with a queen bed plus a sofa bed, a city view, and sleeping space for up to three. Families fit here: the hotel offers family rooms, and children are allowed.

What the hotel offers
Room service is available, and a lift serves the building.
The airport shuttle runs for a fee, covering both pick-up and drop-off at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport. With the airport about 30.7 km away in a straight line, a traveller arriving late or with luggage may find this the simplest option.
Beyond the named services, the hotel's facilities cover the everyday needs of a city stay, from WiFi and air conditioning to a 24-hour front desk and daily housekeeping.
Check-in, children, pets and parking
Check-in runs from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed throughout the hotel, and pets are not.
The hotel has no parking of its own, so anyone arriving by car will need to make other arrangements. The hotel's address is Binbirdirek Mh. Dostluk Yurdu Sk. No:8, Fatih, postcode 34093.
Who it suits and who it should not choose
Blue Gilroy Hotel suits a traveller whose trip is about Istanbul's monuments rather than the hotel itself. With the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, the Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sophia all within about 0.6 km in a straight line, and Topkapı Palace and the Süleymaniye Mosque a little beyond.
It also works for small families: children are allowed, family rooms are among the offerings, and the 30 m² triples and Junior Suite give three people room to spread out, each sleeping up to three where a count is given for the doubles and the suite.
Drivers in particular should note the absence of parking before committing.
