Top Blue Mosque Hotel Reviews

Seven Hills Palace & Spa

Seven Hills Palace & Spa

8/10 Good
"A fun hotel with wildly painting ceilings and walls. Our room was very expensive, huge and looked over the Bosporus but also overlooked a dining patio that provided diners with a direct view into our room. Fortunately the patio was generally empty. Room had some issues - handle fell off door, coffee machine didn't work at first (and the instant coffee delivered to us when we complained was not well received). New coffee pods were never delivered after we requested them. Breakfast was good. Tourist map provided had such tiny print it was not possible to read. It's a bit of a walk to the main sites, so older tourists might want to keep that in mind. But the walk is interesting, through some of the genuine (not touristic) streets of old Istanbul."

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is an absolute gem! Location-wise, you really can’t get more central if you’re there to explore Istanbul’s Old City and all the major attractions. It’s tucked away on a small, quiet street, yet it offers STUNNING 360-degree views of Istanbul. Our room had a direct view of the Blue Mosque — literally so close, it felt like I could reach out and touch it! 😍 The views are breathtaking day or night. Just WOW!!! The staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and accommodating, and the breakfast was simple but delicious. The only thing we noticed in our room (#805) was a slight sewer smell from time to time. Nothing major, but noticeable enough to mention. That said, between the unbeatable location, wonderful staff, and THAT VIEW, it was honestly something we could easily overlook. Would absolutely stay here again! ❤️🇹🇷"
