Where the hotel is
Blue Sea Hotel is a city hotel on İstasyon Caddesi in the Postane neighbourhood of central Tuzla, on Istanbul's Asian side near Sabiha Gökçen Airport. The Tuzla seafront and the Sultan Ahmet Mosque in Tuzla are a few minutes' walk away, and Tuzla Seaside Park is also a short walk. Pendorya Mall and the Pendik seaside promenade park are a short drive away. Tuzla Garden Hotel, Yoga Butik Otel and Tuzla Pars Otel are close neighbours.
If your departure is from Istanbul Airport, the return trip crosses one of the Bosphorus bridges and Istanbul's heavy traffic, so leave extra time for the drive. The easiest approach is to book the return from Blue Sea Hotel at the same time as your arrival transfer; free cancellation keeps your plans flexible.
