NOT a hotel but a run down apartment building
The location was good - 15 minutes from the blue mosque. Listings and reviews on hotels.com and trip advisor were misleading as some made it out to be a hotel, which is what we were expecting. We booked an air conditioned double room. Instead we were given a 'deluxe suite' which consisted of an open plan kitchen/living room, a bathroom and a double bedroom. Only the living room (which we only used for breakfast) was air conditioned and the weather was very hot in the middle of August. We complained and asked for an air conditioned room (which we had booked) but there were none available. They gave us an old fan instead which was not very effective. A traditional Turkish breakfast plate was delivered to the room each morning but was fairly limited. The bathroom was unventilated and smelly, with a shower full of mould. They also charged us extra for the same airport bus than other local agents were charging but were unable to explain why. Would not stay again.

needs updating...
the carpet was dirty, their was mold in the shower and you can smell the sewage in the bathroom. The room needs updating, the television didn't work. Even though the room was large, the neighborhood wasn't the greatest and the room was so depressing, we switched hotel after first night. Definately not a four star more like a 1 or 2

Good clean home-like hotel that worth the money
We had a suite room for four people. The room is large, clean and nice. The slight problem is the bed size is a bit small than anticipated as it was mentioned to be "king size" but turned out to be double size. The sofa bed (for the third person) and the another sofa (for the fourth person) in the lounge were decent sizes. The staffs were very friendly and helpful and the hotel really feels like home.

They charge airport transportation way too high
This is the first time I visited Turkey. The hotel location is OK, not very close to the center area, so I have to walk for 20 minutes to visit the main attraction. The staff was friendly, and room was clean. The only thing I felt terrible was that they charged me 70 Lira (about $30) for the transportation from the airport to the hotel. All other companies which offer transportation service only charge 5 euro. It is almost 4 times than the normal price! It was robbery!

A very nice & exceptionally comfortable place.
Heading back to USA from a job in the middle-east, I wanted to spend a couple of nights in Istanbul. We came into IST in the middle of a snowstorm, which blanketed the city in a couple of inches of snow/ice. I was very pleased with the friendliness, cleanliness, and location of Blues Eye Suites. The breakfasts were quite extensive, fresh-cooked, and simply exceptional (wide variety of selection). I plan to go back, for sure; I hope that my next visit, I will not go into Istanbul being so tired (so that I can visit more of the historical sites, in future). The Blue Eye Suites was simply a wonderful place to stay !

Good location but not so good hotel.
Location was very good. However rooms were not clean, dust everywhere, duvet had spiders in it and blankets were not clean, very noisy at night time, we booked a twin room, and got there and it was double room, so had to upgrade to an apartment, which was more costly.
Response from Veysel on Mar 28, 2015
Hello again Dear Our Guest ; We are seeing that you couldn't have a twin room in our hotel but if you have a look at property info you'll see that we have no twin type room and sorry for other problems. Thanks & Regards Veysel

Good budget hotel, great staff
This was the cheapest hotel i could find in the tourist area of Istanbul. It was a good option. About a 10-15 walk to the blue mosque and closest tram station. Same amount of time to the grand bazaar and baths. The rooms were small (at least mine was - other rooms seemed bigger), the breakfast was ok, def filling. the best part of my stay was the hotel staff - there was a young man who was extremely helpful and very friendly - spoke english very fluently. I would stay here again but maybe request a bigger room (I had a double but there was no real space for anything else in the room - maybe next time i will request for two twin beds).

Great location, wonderful service, hard to find
The employees were top notch - helpful, kind, friendly. The food was GREAT. Thank you for that! The room was comfortable and nicely decorated. My only complaint is that the shower was broken so I could not adjust the spray and the toilet leaked. The hotel owners should probably fix those issues. This hotel is in a loud neighborhood and if you don't enjoy the city sounds, you may not like staying there.

We got an apartment upgrade (instead of a room) and in fact, it was all we needed. The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming and everything was perfect, with the exception of the breakfast. He did, however, manage our expectations by warning us in advance, which helped a lot.

Nice cosy place for the family.
The hotel was clean and tidy, and the continental breakfast was okay. This is not a 5* hotel, if you require such a service, then look elsewhere. It is a small and cosy place with about 5 apartments in total, if I recall properly. Ali (a young and polite chap who managers the hotel for his employer) was very helpful in providing useful directions for our day trips/visits.

Unbelievable Service!
I was probably one of the most stressful guests to stay at Blue Eye Suites with getting locked out of my room, having too much luggage to fit in a taxi, asking specific days for breakfast, asking to go to the pharmacy on a holiday, and so on. Yet, in spite of all the trouble, the service was extremely helpful and also did so with a smile. I would definitely stay here and suggest my friends and family to stay here, too! :)

Blue Eye Suites is a good choice
WitwEith the kind and helpful host Ali the Blue Eye Suites are a good choice for a pleasant stay near all the major sites in Istanbul We stayed in the rooms below the street with a charming little "terrace" behind the house The Room Service was wonderful and for the price we payed you can barely find a better place in that area altogether a good alternative to the far more expensive suites more up on the hill many interesting sites in easy walking distance

Lurad och besviken kund
Detta hotell är en bluff som inte finns. Blev flyttad till ett annat hotell brevid utan någon förvarning. Fick reda på detta av en tillfällighet utanför det stängda hotellet, efter att ha stått utanför det i ca 4h. Detta är inte ett 4-stjärnigt hotell, snarare ett 2-stjärnigt. Rummen är mycket slitna, lyhörda och smutsiga. Hotellet ligger nära sevärdheter , men det ligger i ett slumområde. Frukostbuffen är allt annat än imponerande, med ett par brödbitar och lite smör. Låt dig inte luras av detta billiga pris, HOTELLET ÄR INGET KAP, välj hellre ett annat hotell, annars får du vara beredd på en RIKTIG LÅGBUDGETUPPLEVELSE och din semester kommer att bli förstörd. Fick byta rum flera gånger under min vistelse på hotellet. Hotellet har dessutom felaktigt uppget till hotels.com att jag och min sambo avbokat på plats, vilket lett till att vi inte har fått några bonuspoäng - detta har inte rättats av hotellet trotts flera påstötningar på hotels.com.

Quel galère. Et à la fin de mon séjour j'avais mon vol prévu pour le soir j'ai voulu laisser mes bagages chez eux pour profiter de cette dernière journée mais il n'ont pas voulu. Quel déception

En säng istället för tre som utlovat
Vi var tre kompisar som åkte och bokade ett rum med en kingsize-säng och två enkelsängar, alltså tre separata sängar. När vi kom dit fanns endast en queensize-säng och en bäddsoffa. När vi påtalade detta så sa de att det är hotels.com som skriver beskrivningarna på sin sida och att de inte ens har ett rum med tre separata sängar i. Dessutom var standarden på rummet inte vad vi hade förväntat oss. Efter mycket strul och dyra samtal hem till Sverige och hotels.com löste receptionisten det så att vi fick byta till ett annat hotell som mötte våra förväntningar, och att det skulle ske på Blue Eye suites bekostnad. Så hotellet och rummet som sådant ger jag inte mycket för, men ansträngningen från receptionisten får bättre betyg.

Huippupalvelun hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla
Olin neljän päivän matkalla Istanbulissa kaverini kanssa. Hotelli osoittautui erittäin hyväksi valinnaksi; sijainti ok, huone todella siisti ja mukava, hyvä aamiainen ja erittäin ystävällinen henkiläkunta, joka oli enemmän kuin innokas neuvomaan reittejä ym. Hotellilta kävelee n.10 minuutissa Siniselle moskeijalle, myös raitiovaunulle n.10-15min matka (todella mäkisiä katuja, vie enemmän aikaa). Hotellin lähellä kahviloita, ravintoloita ja kioskeja/pikkukauppoja. Erittäin vahvasti suositeltava hotelli!

Blue eyes suites, gute Lage und guter Service, TOP
Die Wohnungen befinden sich in Sultanahmet,es ist schwer zu finden, weil niemand blue eyes suites kennt und es keinen offensichtlichen Anzeichen vor der Wohnung gibt.Ich bin mit einem Taxi angekommen, dass mich 50 TL vom Flughafen Atatürk gekostet hat. Der Taxifahrer musste die Rezeption anrufen, um herauszufinden, wo die Lage ist. Sobald wir es gefunden haben ist eigentlich die Lage recht gut, zumal dass ich nur für 2 Nächte kam. Die Lage war nur ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß von der Blauen Moschee entfernt. Man kann vieles an einen Tag erledigen: Hagia Sophia, die Zistern, Topkapi-Palast, Bosporus-Kreuzfahrt-Tour und Taxim. Da ich gerne spazieren, war ich sehr zufrieden mit der Lage. Ich hatte gehofft, dass ich vielleicht früher einchecken kann, aber ich musste bis 14 Uhr warten, in der Regel erlauben blue eyes suites keinen frühen Check-In. Die Angestellten waren großartig; sie halfen mir meinen Aufenthalt zu planen,gaben mir einem Regenschirm, das Frühstücksbuffet war sehr lecker, meiner Meinung nach hätte das Frühstück schon um 7,30 anfangen können (es geht von 8,30 bis 10,30), aber das ist auch meine einzige Kritik. Das Zimmer war geräumig,obwohl ich ein Einzelzimmer gebucht habe. Das Bett war ein Doppelbett und sehr bequem und das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Weiterhin war ich über die Größe des Badezimmers überrascht weil es fast so gross war wie mein Zimmer. WiFi-Signal war sehr stark. Insgesamt war ich sehr zufrieden mit meinen Aufenthalt.

Для потраченных на денег -- отель вполне хороший
В марте порадовала цена. За 5ночей вышло около 98евро, это вполне ок. Отель небольшой. Номера светлые (4окна), но холодно. Уборка ежедневно. Wi-Fi быстрый и входит в цену. Пешая доступность до достопримечательностей. Завтраки для этой категории (3*) вполне ок. Отзывчивый персонал на ресепшен. Я обращалась к Вейселу и Шахину. Помогали, откликались на все. Шахин помогал даже в том, в чем явно не обязан. Индивидуальный подход и вежливое внимание к гостям. Говорят по-английски. 2 грузинки работают на кухне, приветливые, они неплохо русский знают. Район хоть и милый, идти к трамваям вверх по очень крутой горе. Убила ноги. Холодно и окна тонкие, в 5 начинает орать муэдзин, так что сон прерван. Между номерами оч.высокая слышимость. Не было покрывала, в ванной никаких душевых принадл. нет, заплесневелые потолки, нераб.душ Чтобы выключить бра, надо вылезти на холод и топать к двери, бред. Не работал 3 дня телевизор. ! В день отъезда продлили номер до 20, заплатили. Каков же был наш шок, когда вернувшись перед выездом, обнаружили, что номер вымыт, а вещи выкинуты из шкафов, чемоданы в угол, а еда в дорогу изъята, нету. Всегда считала, что если люди оплатили номер, вещи в нем неприкосновенны! Вообще не ясно за что оплачено!Они просто убрали номер, будто мы съехали в 11, стандартный выезд! За недорого все неудобства перетерпеть вполне можно. Но увидев цены на май – 50 т. на 6 ночей за двоих, я обалдела. Нельзя в этот отель за 50 тыс ехать: разочаруетесь

Familiäres Hotel an guter Lage
Sehr nettes Hotel an guter Lage. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuss schnell erreichbar. Hilfsbereites und freundliches Personal. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig, wenn auch etwas fettig gekocht. Das Zimmer war sauber und gut ausgestattet mit TV, Klimaanlage, Schrank und eigenem kleinen Bad. Leider hatten wir nicht wie versprochen kleine Badezimmerprodukte zur Verfügung und der Safe hat nicht funktioniert. Und obwohl es Satelliten TV gab hatten wir nur 1 deutschen Sender und ein paar englische, bei denen allerdings keine Filme, sondern nur Nachrichten liefen. Das war für uns ein kleiner Minuspunkt. Das Wifi hat dafür tadellos funktioniert. Ein wirklich empfehlenswertes Hotel mit familiärem Charme :).
