gracious hotel in Istanbul
This hotel has a fantastic location to sightseeing in the old city. It was clean and the decore was tasteful and put together well. The staff was helpful. It had one of the most delious breakfast buffets that I have encountered in my travels. The only down side was that the hotel staff would come in to the room even when the do not disturb sign was up.

4 Star Service + 2 Star Room = EC
The Ersine Crowne has a lot to recommend: very clean, well-appointed lobby and rooms; friendly, competent, capable staff; fine breakfast buffet; decent location ... The problem, for me at least, was the room size. Far too small. No matter how clean or lovely, for the price it was a shoebox. Now that Istanbul has become very expensive, this is to be expected. But at $180 a night I could have gotten a better room in an equally if not more expensive city - like New York, or San Francisco. For its service, cleanliness and elegance, the hotel deserves its 4-star rating. But the rooms are 2-star size, even by Europe's Liliputian standards (and these days, Istanbul out-Europes Europe in everything from food to nightlife). Perhaps if Ersine Crowne lowered its prices I'd consider returning, and it is a hotel I would recommend, but next time I return to what is truly one of the world's greatest cities, I'll shop around.

Great Location
The Eresin Crown is a small boutique hotel. The rooms are on the smaller side but very clean and neat. The bathroom was spotless and all marble. The staff took care of all of our needs. We requested a taxi at 6:00 AM and it was at the front of the hotel in five minutes. The staff double checked the fare with the driver so we would know what to expect. Location is excellent for all of Istanbuls attractions. We felt very safe and comfortable at this hotel.
