Erguvan - Special Class in Istanbul

Deze gast heeft geen reactie geplaatst.

A clean and reasonable priced accommodation in close location to the Blue Mosque and other interesting sites in the old part of Istanbul called Sultanahmet. A better internet service would give this accommodation a higher rating for this business traveller. The breakfast room on the top floor provides a nice view to the ships anchored outside the Bosphorus […] and a wide view of part of the Sultanahmet part of Istanbul. Lees meer

Wevstayed for one night in April. Room was fine but he temperature could not be adjusted. Opening the windows let the street noise in. Not a windflower sleep.

Excellent location and friendly staff.

We had booked a triple room in the hotel for 4 nights. First night we were asked to move into a double and single room as they did not have a triple room available though we had booked it a month in advance. Then when we moved to triple room, there was no wireless in that room and different staff members kept us giving different reasons. Breakfast was […] pretty ordinary. Only saving grace for the hotel is location but I am sure there would be better alternatives available in the same location. Rooms were clean but given the price they charged, that's expected and certainly not enough to rate it high. Lees meer

Good location, can walk to the sights. Great view of the Blue Mosque from the terrace. Nice breakfast on the terrace.

This hotel was in a great location in Sultanhamet area to walk to all the major sites -- and easy to get to the tram to travel to other parts of the city. It was clean and the people were friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent.

great htl for an extended weekend trip. Close to down town, touristic attractions etc. Small room but clean and equipped with the necessities. NIce staff and the breakfast is OK. We can recommend this hotel for a short visit.

Great location ... and excellent staff -- exactly what I was looking for. Manager on duty was extremely helpful ... told me about Salat times (checked on-line to get the correct one); gave me room even though check-in time was much later; adn helped me with the directions to get to Blue Mosque and other sight-seeing in that area. It made my 1-day trip […] a memorable one! Lees meer

excellent hotel , i spend 2 days , near old part of city , also not far from metero will take u to takseem

clean, well maintained, excellent friendly staff

All staff was extremely helpful but Mr. Eyup was exceptionally so. They booked tours for us who were very professional and responsible in their dealings.

This was a very a charming hotel and what could easily be considered boutique level in the United States and Canada. The downside was that being this is an Islamic country (however secular Istanbul is) the Mosque blares the morning waking up prayer over loud speakers early in the morning. Western travellers especially may find this as unnecessary noise […] pollution unconducive to sleep. The breakfast was alright having a good Mediterreanean selection of foods. In this case it was above and beyond the plastic pastries we call a Continental Breakfast in the States. Location wise the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are almost right on top of you. This is coupled with a selection of many Kebob houses and street merchants dotting the Tram station area and street. Overall book this room and enjoy the 3-5 minute walk to to the tram that will get you to downtown. I doubt you will regret it. Lees meer

Great Location in Sultanhamet. Great breakfast with a view of Blue Mosque and Marmara Sea at breakfast. Good english speaking staff too.

Very nice and convenient hotel

Hotel very close to main attractions. Staff very helpful.

Everything was perfect.

We spent 5 nights at the Erguvan and were delighted as soon as we walked in the door. The rooms were clean and tastefully decorated, the hotel staff bent over backwards to be helpful and the room, lobby, and restaurant were clean and well kept. The property is so convenient for seeing the major sights in Istanbul, only a few minute walk from 'The Blue […] Mosque', 'Hagia Sofia', and the hippodrome. The only complaint I have is that the sound within the hotel carries and at times was a little noisy. I would recommend it to anyone Lees meer

Great location walking distance to all interesting sights,(and walking is the best way to get around Istanbul) simple rooms,modern bath,very clean. hotel staff was incredible..so helpful. arranged tours, cars, and reservations. Just delightful stay.

The staff are good and helpful. We only ate at hotel once but was excellent.

Eleven us stayed there It was fantastic considering price and location. So very accomodating Would definatel do it again. well worth the $$$$$

Spent two nights at this nice little hotel located in the very heart of Istanbul's old city. We arrived early in the morning and although our room wasn't ready we were escorted to the top floor breakfast room for a meal. The view was stunning! When we returned half an hour after the room was supposed to be ready, we were told that the cleaning personnel […] weren't done. While waiting we were given free drinks and snacks. The location is perfect for exploring the older parts of the city. Although the hotel is situated in a part of the city that is full of tourists, there is not much traffic, so one gets to sleep in relative calm. Istanbul is a huge city, but we had no problems getting around as the public transport system works better than in most European cities. This four star hotel is great value for money and is highly recommended. Lees meer

WONDERFUL 22 ROOM HOTEL IN A PERFECT LOCATION....., SMALL AND CLOSE TO THE BEST ATTACTIONS....I WOULD REVISIT..... AND A GREAT VALUE......

Very conveniently located in Sultanahmet. A very nice boutique hotel with very helpful and pleasant reception staff. Breakfast a little below par for westerners.

This is more a pension or a "boutique" hotel, rather than a four and a half star hotel. Our room was comfortable and very clean. The location in the Old Town was quite good, except it was an uphill hike, on cobblestone streets, to get to all the places we wanted to go. We certainly felt safe walking around there. The buffet breakfast was good, not […] great, but the view from the rooftop "restaurant" was fabulous. Lees meer

The Erguvan Hotel has it all....an excellent location, very reasonable rates, great free breakfast and very helpful and friendly staff. Oh yes, and the rooms are spacious, clean, and quiet. Perhaps the best asset is the incredible location, but the staff is helpful, informed, and friendly. It's everything you want in an urban hotel except a high price […] tag. Lees meer

Great service and very close to Hagia Sophia and other tourist attractions. The hotel was clean and quiet. We used one room with 2 beds and one with 3 beds. The room with 2 beds was cosier and had a much nicer view over the city. I can really recommend this hotel.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Erguvan. The staff was just as friendly and helpful as previous posts had led me to believe and the hotel was quite comfortable and extremely well located in the historic section of Istanbul.

We stayed in the Hotel Erguvan on our trip to Istanbul, and the location could not have been better. We were a 5-minute walk from the Blue Mosque, 7 minutes from the Sultanahmet tram station (our route in from the airport), 10 minutes from the Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern. The hotel itself was nice and new. The front desk staff was incredibly […] patient and helpful in mapping out our trip, complete with restaurant recommendations and other suggestions. The hotel offers a free, rooftop terrace breakfast buffet; the food is just ok, but the view is a great way to start the day. Overall, I strongly recommend this hotel as a great choice for a trip to Istanbul. Lees meer

This was my first time in Istanbul, so I cannot compare this hotel to others in the city. However, if I were to give it a star rating based on Western standards, this hotel will have a hard time making it to a two star level. The four star rating (and the price that goes with it) is highly exaggerated. Although the bedding was comfortable, but the bathroom […] in the "standard double" room is very small. There is no bathtub and the shower area is the size of a laundry sink. Breakfast is served on the patio, but the pictures are highly exaggerated and the quality and quantity of the food available is a joke. I would not stay there again. Lees meer

This is a great little hotel, located in the sultanahmet area of Istanbul. It has old world charm but with lots of conveniences. The hotel is reasonably priced and the staff was very helpful. I would recommend this hotel highly.

this is a great hotel, moderately price, and conveniently located. The staff was very helpful, and the old world charm of the hotel makes it an ideal place to return to after a long day of site seeing.

I would highly recommend this hotel to any guest traveling to Istanbul. The location is fantastic- 5 mins walking to all the attractions yet quietly peaceful. The staff was pleasant and incredibly hospitable allowing me to check in early offering coffee and cakes since I just missed breakfast. The room was well appointed, clean and comfortable.

Great Location , Amazing staff specially Mr. Ayoub who was always available to solve your problems and directed you to the right place. :)

The hotel was very clean, and every staff member went out of their way to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. The hotel is as close as they claim to the Blue Mosque (6 min walk), Haggia Sophia (8 min walk), Grand Bazaar (12 min walk), Spice Bazaar (30 min walk). Fantastic breakfast spread. Free wi-fi in the rooms and a computer in the lobby […] if you don't bring yours. The only downside was that the bed was a little hard for me; it didn't bother my fiance, though, so maybe I'm just being too picky. Lees meer

I recommeded to everybody tourist this hotel. good location , clean , good food , etc....

We arrived to find everything in order and that the accommodations were as described or better. The hotel is very close to the Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia and most other tourist attractions. We found the breakfast to be very good but the wine in the terrace restaurant was very expensive and out of line with local establishments. Bottom line, this is a great […] place to stay (but drink elsewhere). Lees meer

The hotel staff was great. The rooms are clean and nice. Location is excellent. There is a computer you can use free of charge and free wifi in the room. Breakfast was decent. My complaints -the walls are like paper, we were on the first floor and it was very noisy. The shower leaked and so it was awkward to shower and not soak everything in the bathroom. […] I don't know if it is possible to get a smoke free hotel in Istanbul, but this certainly was not one.

My room was not quite as big as the one shown on the picture, but it was perfectly comfortable and clean. It was right next to the elevator which I thought might be noisy, but it did not bother me whatsoever. The location of the hotel is perfect, and easy to access (from the Sultanahmet tram stop). Free wifi is a bonus (although the signal in my room […] was intermittent). I will certainly consider this hotel again when I return to Istanbul! Lees meer

Our one week stay in Istanbul was made wonderful by the Erguvan hotel. They helped with lost bags, made good recommendations and allowed us to economically stay within walking distance of all the major attractions in Istanbul. One of the best New Years eve destinations!

Our travel to Istanbul for the second time in two years was terrific and more than we expected, except the hotel was smaller and with fewer amenities than our first experience. The rooms were clean, and adequate but smaller than the year before and that was our biggest disappointment. The staff was very pleasant and very helpful in recommending places […] to go things to see and really saved us a lot in finding taxis that did not gouge our pocketbook. The maid was a little forgetful. she forgot soap and minor things but these were easily rectified with a quick call to the front desk. Breakfast was free and very good, although not hot. Caution, the restaurant list it's prices in Euro and if your not careful that can add up quickly and the food was not that good, but OK. This is a clean, friendly, small hotel centrally located in old town, Sultanahmet. Very close and accessible to the many attractions there. I would stay there again. Lees meer

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would stay there again without any complaints. It is clean, friendly, nice rooms. The location is superb, but the neighbourhood is not the nicest, safe, but not as nice as some other areas...but good value.

Fantastic location... great breakfast (with a view of the Bosphorous).. the rooms quite reasonable in size considering it's old Istanbul... the bathroom is compact but functional. Would not hesitate to stay here again if ever our travels take us back there..
