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.

Just not like the photo, very disappointing.

Claims to be a Boutique Hotel with 16 rooms on 4 levels, (no lift!). Some Deluxe rooms look beautiful from photos, but we booked Special Room, a standard double room, which also looked stylish and large, on the photos. The ground floor room given to us was tiny, dilapidated, and nothing like the photos! No space around the bed, for an armchair, as pictured. Wall Paint was dirty, and scratched with lumps peeling off. Looks like it has had no maintenance in 20 years. Sheets were good, but pillows too hard and doona was too thick for summer. Shower rose kept slipping down, water stayed lukewarm. I’m glad we only booked one night, this was very disappointing! It’s not too hard to paint a room.

Stay in Erten Konak Istanbul, Turkiye

It was just an OK trip. Since we had luggage the room we reserved was not given to us. We had reserved a room with sea view in the fourth floor, but we were asked to climb a very very narrow stairs for 5 flights, which was not possible. So we had to settle for a smaller room in the first floor. Being an inferior room we should be getting a partial refund at least. Also the room which we reserved for $70+ from US, was listed for $32 on hotels.com website itself, when we reached there. Still we were charged in full. The pictures shown on their website is old. The furnitures were very very old. The bathroom had good and fine fittings. Air conditioner was fine and good. Breakfast was good enough though very same repeated over and over again. No drinking water was provided. The tour contacts from the hotel desk was good. And they arranged good taxi service for good price.

Total Disappointment

Staff didn't speak much english, so a lot of misunderstandings. Room was not cleaned everyday. We took garbage out twice. Told them my bathroom lamp was broken and they never fixed it. They arranged for an english speaking Aqva tour, and the tour guide didn't speak one word of english. They took us in a raggedy van that was dirty and had the side door broken. Driver didn't give us any information. I felt robbed. On top of it, they dropped us off very far from the hotel and one of us had problems walking. I wouldn't recommend this tour to anyone. I feel we deserve to be reimbursed.

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.

Mixed

Thank you for the friendly helpful service, however, I must be honest: the rooms and common areas needed better cleaning. The stair carpets were old and dusty. There were layers of dust in many areas and the first smell you encounter at ground level is Cat odours. I have a severe allergy to dust and Cats. It is otherwise a lovely building with excellent staff - who genuinely made an effort to be helpful and were genuinely friendly - for that I say thank you and wish you all the best. Once the issues are resolved I’d highly recommend this hotel to all - as good quality at a reasonable price.
