Amazing décor. Hotel is very old and it shows but well maintained. Breakfast is included and is more than adequate. Staff are very helpful. Things to remember: Istanbul is very hilly, you need at least moderate fitness if you plan to walk much; and the airport is a long way away. 75 minutes on a good day. The hotel recommended taxi at 45 euros is worth considering.

We really enjoyed our stay at Erten Konak! It’s in a great, walkable neighborhood, nearby all the Sultanahmet attractions. The cleaning and front desk staff were excellent and made for a very enjoyable stay. We especially appreciate the advice and recommendations of Mart. We hope to come visit this beautiful city again.

Wonderful place to stay

I had a great time, the staff was really very friendly and always willing to help. Extremely well located if you want to visit historical Istanbul; it's right in the heart of it. Great value for the price. Beautifully decorated, super breakfast buffet, spacious enough rooms. I would definitely recommend this hotel, don't hesitate. The only shadow was due to my neighbors: teenage Italian girls with one in particular who was extremely loud, literally shouting at people constantly. Whether in her room or in the hallway, we could very clearly hear her screaming day or night. But this was obviously not due to my hosts, who tried their best, and finally succeeded, at having this person's parents remind her of what is respect.

A cozy hotel with convenient location in old town

A cozy and clean hotel. The staff are super friendly. They allowed us to leave our luggages there when we arrived early and after our stay. The room was cleaned everyday with changing towels. The bathroom is a bit crowded- we understand it’s like historical building you can only do so much. In general a great experience and would highly recommend! Btw, there’s a nice grocery store close by and their persimmons are the best we ever had! And unbelievable affordable!

We stayed 2 nights in an economy room Althought this hotel is in the historic area of istanbul and there's a lot of action on the streets, inside is quiet and peaceful so you get a break from a long day of touring. The staff went above and beyond to help us in our tour planning and to accommodate us. It would have been nice to have an accent light in the room because the ceiling one is quite powerful
