Great location
Short walk to the Blue Mosque....a great view of which can be seen from the roof terrace of the hotel...the hotel borders a portion of the original Hippodrome foundation, dating back to the first century AD! Nice restaruarants and shops located nearby, but a bit of a longer walk takes you to the Grand Bazaar. A taxi stand nearly next door affords one of inexpensive trips to other sites farther afield. Recommend this hotel higlyly

Excellent location, Superior Staff
I stayed at this hotel recently with three friends, and we all loved staying at Erguvan. The location was perfect, our rooms were cleaned everyday and the staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make our stay in Istanbul memorable. We would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Don't expect anything extraordinary
For a four-star hotel as Erguvan was advertised on your website, I had a small room with an extremely small bathroom with a tiny shower in it. Out of the 5 nights I spent here, I had no hot running water on two nights. No special amenities that you would expect from a four star hotel except the magnificent view from the breakfast area on the top floor. So don't expect anything extraordinary and you'll be fine. I won't stay here again.

Erguvan Hotel - Istanbul
Overall the hotel a pleasant surprise. We booked based on a reccomendation from another on-line travel contact. The location was amazing, fairly quiet at night but just a few steps from the center of old town Istanbul. The rooftop breakfast was always a pleasant morning experience although the food was a little too local for our tastes. I usually don't consider breakfast as an adventure (wrong time of day)! We did have a minor issue with our airconditioning system that took 2 days to fix but it was not from lack of trying on the part of the staff. Take them up on their airport shuttle service. That way when you step out of the door or the hotel, you are instantly in Istanbul! The staff were very helpful and assited in arranging guides, tours and reccomendations. Definatley adds to the Istanbul experience! Will use them next time!

Excellent location
This hotel is centrally located to all the great local sites. The breakfast was ample and nice. The staff was very courteous and attentive. Our room on the third floor had a view of the Sea of Marmara. The view from the terrace (4th floor) is absolutely gorgeous - the Sea of Marmara and the Blue Mosque! The room has a nice big safe big enough to put a laptop in for security.

Great Hotel
We were warmly greeted at the hotel and ushered quickly to our room which was appreciated since it was evening and we were tired. Although the room was small, it was spotlessly clean and modern. The hotel is equal to a small European family-run establishment, and we were quite pleased that we stayed there. The breakfast buffet is large and varied, and the view from the terrace is magnificent. The water in Istanbul is not potable and that's an inconvenience, but we were able to walk across the street and buy several large inexpensive bottles of water. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to friends and family!

The hotel's location can't be beat if you want to be able to walk to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Hippodrome. There are several restaurants recommended by Rick Steves that are located close by. One of them, Doy Doy, has an excellent rooftop view of the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, and good food.
