We stayed in Istanbul at Erguvan Hotel for a week. We had an option of complimentary breakfast at the time of booking. The staff were quite helpful and very professional in answering useful questions about maneuvering the city and using public transport. The staff regularly clean the rooms and the ambiance is very sanitary. We took the option of airport transfer from the Hotel to airport, and they take the standard fare for the same. The location provides wonderful morning views of the old city looking over Bosphorus and the port as well as the Blue Mosque. The area seems to be safe for travellers, there are several dining options in the area that stay open till late which is a plus. Blue Mosque, Aya Sofya, Topkapi palace, Grand bazar, metro rail, Basilica cistern are all in a walking distance. We would recommend to anyone for short stay and vacation.

Such a charming little hotel with very friendly staff and a perfect situation. Unfortunately very let down by the cleanliness of the restaurant but mostly the rooms. The hotel is in desperate need of redecorating and will then be a very nice place to stay. Such a shame. I hope they get it right.
