Guest Reviews
- Angelo (2/5): Esperienza pessima. - Solo la posizione al centro di Istambul Le foto non erano veritiere. L'appartamento sporco, piccolo, non idoneo per 4 persone.
Bagno piccolo, lavabo nemmeno utile per lavarsi i de nti. Piatto doccia otturato. Asciugamani sporchi. Stanza fredda e priva di tende funzionali. Il salottino si affaccia ad un muro.
Le pareti sporche, armadio rotto.
Il personale visto una volta sola.

- Norhafizah (5/5): Im not happy with the air cond. Its not continuous running and it stop by itself. -
- Aleksandra (10/5): -
- Stipanovic (9/5): - Pre svega domaćin je bio veoma ljubazan, prijatan, uvek na raspolaganju, lokacija je odlična blizu centra i do svih znamenitosti se moze vrlo brzo stici.Ukolilo bi ponovo dolazila u Istambul odsela bi ovde. Higijena apartmana nije na nivou koji sam očekivala.
- Korina (9/5): - Номер чистый. Комната такая же как и на фото. Очень уютная. Есть холодильник, микроволновая печь, чайник, немного посуды, достаточно чтобы позавтракать. В ванной комнате мыло и шампунь. Так же одноразовые тапочки. Расположение номера за такую цену очень хорошее. Мы остались довольны. Окно расположено напротив стены другого дома, поэтому утром сложно встать, кажется ещё ночь. Летом это наверное большой плюс, комната не нагревается. В ванной комнате холодно, потому что ещё апрель, а вентиляция выходит на улицу.
- Igor (9/5): -
- Andgelina (3/5): Отлична локация, но разочароващи условия и подвеждащи снимки - Най-голямото предимство на мястото беше локацията – изключително удобна и близо до основни забележителности, ресторанти и дори до морето. Всичко беше на пешеходно разстояние, което направи престоя ни много лесен и приятен откъм придвижване. За съжаление, стаята изглеждаше коренно различно от това, което беше показано на снимките. На практика нямахме реален прозорец – гледката беше към стена на съседна сграда на много малко разстояние и не влизаше никаква естествена светлина. В стаята беше постоянно тъмно, независимо дали е ден или нощ, а осветлението беше слабо и недостатъчно.
Банята също не беше добре оборудвана – липсваше стойка за душа, което правеше къпането неудобно.
Освен това нямаше никакъв персонал по време на престоя ни. Не видяхме нито един човек, а при напускането дори не получихме отговор на съобщение дали има на кого да оставим ключа. Наложи се просто да го оставим на бюро и да си тръгнем.
Като цяло мястото създаваше много потискаща атмосфера и престоят ни беше неприятен.

- Sara (1/5): Un desastre - Nada . El alojamiento es un horror. Es un zulo sucio. Habitación con ventana que da a un agujero negro. En la descripción menciona “ vistas al mar o la ciudad”. Una broma. El suelo se hunde, la sensaciones es que te vas a caer al sótano. El baño podrido, los ganchos rotos, la puerta de la ducha rota. Las paredes se caen. La parte de la “ cocina”, hervidor de agua quemado, en el armario un tupper con comida podrida. Las almohadas pésimos. Usamos nuestros plumas para poder dormir.Primer día se partiò la llave dentro de la cerradura . El hombre dijo que el huésped anterior ha roto la cerradura(?!).El hotel no tiene ningún cartel en la calle . La zona es oscura y sucia, Muy poco recomendable, Ha sido un gran engaño y una vergüenza para Booking, ofertar semajante “alojamiento”. Todo
- Santiago (7/5): -
- Judit (5/5): - Ubicacion silencio La cama horrible el.colchon y el lavabo minúsculo
- László (10/5): -
- JEROME (1/5): Wasted experience! - Location of the place is the only thing that is not too bad... Unfortunately it was a bad experience for us.
Our stay was absolutely wasted because the place is very noisy, impossible to sleep. We spent 5 terrible nights there.
The room which is situated on the ground floor (401) is probably the worst.
Additionally there is a disgusting tobacco / cat piss / humidity smell in the air 🤮.
Definitely not a place to go !!
- Sitthichai (6/5): Kort verblijf in Fatih - De kamer was schoon en netjes De badkamer/ toilet is te klein of te smal voor West Europese personen
- teferici (7/5): -
- Umberto Stopelli (8/5): -
- tommaso.somenzi (1/5): DISASTER - Nothing Everything was a disaster.
The room was dark, dirty, and smelled strongly of cigarettes. The shower didn’t have running water, making it impossible to freshen up. We tried to speak with the reception, but no one spoke English, which made communication extremely difficult. In the end, we had no choice but to book another accommodation and pay again out of pocket.
To make matters worse, the property later claimed that my girlfriend and I never checked in, so they refused to issue any reimbursement.
This experience was completely unacceptable.
- Caterina (8/5): - Apropo de centrul istoric Cam murdar, necesită o îngrijire mai buna ( pereții murdari, baia murdara )

- alessia (8/5): Perfetto per Istanbul! - Struttura in posizione centrale con ogni attrazione raggiungibile in poco tempo! Bar negozi e ristoranti vicini! Il personale è stato super accogliente al nostro arrivo! La stanza puzzava di fumo tantissimo tanto che ho dovuto lavare ogni cosa compreso le borse per quanto si era impregnata la roba di mal odore! Pulizia generale da migliorare!
- Martin (8/5): -
- Luigi (8/5): Bella posizione e staff disponibile. - Gentilezza dello staff.
Buona posizione. La stanza è piccolina, e non ha cucina ma solo lavello, frigo, microonde e bollitore.
Ma se viene usata giusto per dormire va benissimo
- HM (10/5): -
- Laurianne (7/5): It was perfect for us and if I am ever in Istanbul again would be happy to return. - It was basic but functional and perfect for our needs - a place to sleep and I slept surprisingly well in the double bed. Having a fridge and air conditioning were a must for the time of year and they did not disappoint. We discovered Kumkapi Tram Station was only a 3-4 minute walk from the apartment, although it never showed up on my Google Maps!! Finding the tram station made the location really good and it was really easy to travel around. To get to the station you walk through a whole selection of restaurants, so there is a fun vibe at night and it all feels really safe. The balcony was great and you can see the sea during the day. It is located outside of the tourist area, which we loved, but if you want perfect views it is probably not for you. We loved the quirkiness of the surroundings.
Being able to check out quite late on our last day, was really helpful and much appreciated. The apartment was much smaller than I was expecting, although the photos are not inaccurate, rather my perception of them was. The sleeper couches were not that comfortable for adults, but would be fine for children or dainty adults. There was an issue with the shower not draining well, but on the plus side, with only one bathroom, everyone had to shower really quickly!!
- Laura (7/5): - In city centre
- Ayesha (8/5): -
- Jonathan Ariel (10/5): Cozy place, walking distance to the center, host really nice and easy to talk. - The place is in the center, all the tourist attractions are walking distance, and the price is super affordable! Also the air conditionar makes the place super cozy and comfortable to rest. The host is super nice and easy to talk. I recommend this place 100%, for me it’s a 5/5.
- Angela (10/5): Muy bien! - Las habitaciones están limpias, el alojamiento se encuentra bastante cerca del centro histórico y hay buenas combinaciones.
Tuncay, el dueño del alojamiento, se ha mostrado muy amable en todo momento, dispuesto a ayudarte en todo lo que necesitases.
Si vuelvo a Turquia volveré a alojarme aquí ☺️
- Delfina (9/5): Cómoda habitación cerca de principales atracciones de Estambul. - El personal fue de lo más atento con nosotros y muy amables. La habitación muy cómoda y la ducha increíble.
Muy buena ubicación, a solo 15 minutos de las principales atracciones.
A pocos metros del departamento hay un espacio lleno de bares y restaurantes en donde puedes comer comidas típicas a muy buen precio. Si bien la habitación detalla "cocina" cabe destacar que tiene una heladera, un calentador de agua y un microondas.
Sin embargo no tiene hornallas ni horno o espacio para cocinar si lo que deseas es preparar tus propias comidas.
- Gabriela (10/5): Perfect - Curatenie, locatia foarte centrala, foarte primitori proprietari. Nu am nimic de spus.
- ANNA (10/5): -
- Inga (9/5): -
- Amarsanaa (10/5): Exceptional - Blue Sea Apart Hotel is an excellent choice for travelers seeking a clean, convenient, and cozy base in Istanbul’s Old City. With a fantastic central location, well-equipped rooms, and genuinely caring staff, it’s ideal for solo travelers, couples, or families looking to immerse themselves in the culture and history of the city without overspending. I’d happily stay here again—and so would many guests before me!
- Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alessandra (8/5): Very good - The owner of this Apart Hotel is a wonderful person!
- Dan (8/5): Very good -
- Kathleen (6/5): Pleasant - No breakfast…location was good No one there to open the room when we arrived at night…lucky people in street knew the cleaner who opened the door for us. It is not a hotel, it is rooms with a desk at the entrance..no one is there 24/7. Little English spoken. Very quiet, which was good and location great. Rooms up the street cheaper and included breakfast.
- Диляна (8/5): Very good -
- Sofia (9/5): Most of check in and check out was done via whatsapp, but responsive staff and comfortable room -
- Емилия (9/5): Superb -
- Fraser (9/5): Superb -
- Ni (10/5): Exceptional - Very close to all the attractions, 15mins walk, however you need to go uphill a lot. My room was on the first floor, literally next to the reception. However, the host very welcoming and helpful. Uneven flooring, and thin blanket
- Dina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anja (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yuliya (7/5): Very polite staff and location, but it is worth working on the serviceability of furniture and plumbing, cleanliness of - Staff, location, costs On the top floor you can hear what's going on on the roof (seagulls, cats, rain). If you're a light sleeper, this could be a problem
- Bojan (5/5): Passable - Unfriendly hosts. I carried my suitcases to the third floor alone. The host is standing next to me and watching. Loud surroundings. From the terrace you look at the ruins. Small rooms. Many things in the apartment need to be repaired (curtains falling off, furniture damaged...)
- Notlost (7/5): Good - We first got a room where AC didn't work, luckily they wasn't fully booked so we got a new room. Service from reception was good. We got discount for parking in a nearby parking garage for our motorcycle. It was 24 hours service, well guarded. The room was renovated one year ago, but the quality of the used furniture and work was not good.
- Rosario (10/5): Location, great staff and super comfortable - Location and great stuff
- Yi-jen (7/5): affordable price good accomodation with nice staff - The staff is very nice and friendly. He answered all my questions and offered help! the room is a bit smoky.
- Mohammed (8/5): Very good -
- Serafini (10/5): The host was really kind and helpful - It was comfortable and clean
- Ray (1/5): Bad - Absolutely nothing. You should remove that "hole" from offer.
- Mohebullah (10/5): Exceptional - Nice play
- Kahina (7/5): Good -
- Jatin (7/5): Not a bad stay for budget travellers…a lot of room for improvement, though - -The location of the property is good. Walking distance to the blue mosque and Hagia Sofia. Cafes, restaurants and markets all within five minutes walk.
-Coffee, tea and toiletries provided.
-comfortable bed (personal preference).
-Friendly staff who helped us putting luggage in our room. -The rooms are quite small and do not have sufficient light.
- The stairs are very narrow too.
- They have microwave and kettle in the kitchen but no hot plate.
- The sink in the bathroom is just too small and a mirror is oddly placed on top of it.
- No signboard outside the property- people may struggle finding it especially coming late night.
- Mohamed (7/5): Good -
- Shan (10/5): Hidden Gem - The location was perfect for me, close by to restaurants and a close c.20 min walk from the tours I had planned.
Tuncay the owner was polite, friendly and helpful. As a female travelling alone I was made to feel very safe.
The hotel is very good value for money and did just what it needed to.
I would definitely recommend.
- Shana (6/5): Pleasant - Clean, functional room (though small and hard to navigate) Very responsive on Whatsapp. No hot water on my last day. Front desk wasn't always staffed.

I would stay happily in the same place again
- Mary (9/5): beautiful experience - the cozy environment of the room, the friendlinessof the staff towels not being replaced after a couple days
- Honggoo (1/5): Bad -
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mohamed (6/5): Pleasant -
- Leonardo (5/5): Passable - Ground floor room, there was no privacy. The doorman or doorwoman sleep in the entrance on a couch just few meters from ground floor room...
- Mark (9/5): Superb -
- Sanjay (3/5): Poor - Location good No facility
- Saif (9/5): Superb -
- Ross (3/5): Poor - Good room and comfortable bed. Great location. This is a really good place to say but unfortunately I had a bad experience as I arrived at 7am in the freezing snow and rain and was outside for an hour as no one was at reception. I got flu and very sick as a direct result. Its a shame as it's a good room and good location. If you're on the first floor you can hear people talking downstairs. Sorry!
- Roman (10/5): Exceptional - Design style if the room
- William (8/5): Well located, very helpful staff highly recommend - Very well located for walking to major attractions. Lots of restaurants both high end and budget friendly. Lovely staff who were very helpful. Facilities good, although compact. But so much to see and do so not an issue
- Ali (2/5): Very poor -
- Mohamed (8/5): Solo Traveler - Turkey Istanbul - The place makes you feel like a home with a great family.
Room is nice and affordable also it's clean with nice AC, small kitchen, small refrigerator and table.
Bathroom is great it has hot shower and toilet.
Location near to metro by 20 mins walking and also near to famous mosques also bus like 10 mins.
Location is not very crowded and this is an advantage not like taksim.
The location has everything around restaurants, bakery, super market, money exchange office and many clothing shops
I extended my stay for another 4 days because of the hospitality.
They need only one thing to have a nice rooftop to stay and enjoy talking upstairs.
There's a crazy 🤣 cat there take care from it hehhehe Nothing really just didn't accept the credit card and asked for cash only while it's mentioned that hotel accept credit cards.
For the other days they accepted credit card.
- Niklas (5/5): Passable -
- Lauren-jade (3/5): Poor - Location is great - within walking distance to a ton of shops and restaurants. 1. No towels or bath mats.
2. Tiles in the shower are not non-slip, so you take your life in your hands when having a shower.
3. Shower door was broken.
4. Half a roll of toilet paper given for 2 people for 3 days.
5. No one there during check-out. You put the key in the door and leave.
6. Aircon set at 25° with no option to change it
7. Difficult to find. Both of our shuttle services struggled to find the place. No signage.
8. Room was dirty when we arrived. It felt like they were not expecting us.
- Yulia (5/5): Passable - The size of the room was good It was noisy in the building, couldn't sleep much
- Kim (4/5): Inexpensive, but you get what you pay for - Very close to the center of old town, just a 15 minute walk to Aya Sophia , nice to have a small kitchen and the staff are excellent! The price was inexpensive. Our shower door didn’t close, it was off the track completely, the shower was not clean, the worst hard pillows ever! As a result, not much sleep. And there was no signage, so difficult to find at night.
- Vasile-simion (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (4/5): Disappointing - The young man who opened the door & organised us was very helpful. The locale was terrific. The bathroom screen was broken & off it's rails. It fell on both of us each time we showered. There was no drainage in the shower. By night 3 our feet stayed permanently in water. Water leaked from the fridge & the air con barely worked. It was very poor & unfortunately for us.
- Sheila (6/5): More down market air- bnb than hotel - The staff were friendly although only one spoke basic English. He was very kind in helping me to move. Owner uninterested in refunding when I felt unwilling to remain. The location is too far away from tourist action. 25 min walk up a very steep hill to get to places like Hagia Sophia; 15mins to Grand Bazaar. Undesirable area feels "unsafe" for solo females. Very difficult to find- there is no sign outside, and only a digital keypad entry. No hints provided to would-be tenants,to how to get in! The bathroom basin taps flooded the bathroom, no attempt to fix them.
- Edgar (8/5): overall good experience - Berkhan and the kid receptionist were really helpful and accommodating. They have a lovely playful cat. Room is very clean and tidy. Location is close to touristy places like Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosques. Some weird loud noises on the other side of the wall. Cash payment only. Should put a name outside of the apart hotel (at first was having a hard time looking for the place). No lifts.
- Alin (8/5): Very good -
- Kennedy (3/5): The hotel of cat litter - Good location Everyday you step in cat litter when you open the door. Everything smells like cat crap. My shower door was broken, I had no shower head and it was noisy every night.
- Khalid (1/5): Bad - Nothing was good about this hotel Everything
- Jamhour (10/5): Exceptional -
- Haitham (7/5): Good - awesome location, very good room size. room needs lots of renovation many things are partially broken ( but honestly everything is working fine ).
DONOT get room 401 (the ground floor room) at any cost. it is in the entrance of the building and always noisy with zero privacy and sound proofing. i think you will have much better experience with upper floors rooms.
- Tigran (10/5): Exceptional - Great service
Staff was very friendly and helping
- Yasin (7/5): Good - Not bad location.. clean room.. The bed was too noisy and not comfortable..
