Erten Konak is a nice antique hotel in a great location. It’s near shopping, restaurants, tram…. Staff were very nice and willing to help. Marco who worked at front desk was very helpful and nice. He carried our luggages upstairs. The hotel has nice decor and history. Our stay was marvelous. We will come back.

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.

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

Property is in such a conjusted area that the driver could not get by the Hotel. We had to drag our bags up the uneven road. Hotel didn’t even have elevator. Spiral stairs and was so difficult to get our bags to our room.

Perfect location on a nice quiet street very close to attractions, restaurants and shops. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast Fine rooms, a bit run down bathroom and the cleaning wasn't perfect. But overall a very satisfactory stay.

This hotel was so cute. It has a lot of personality. It’s walking distance from Aya Sofia, the metro station and the Grand Bazaar. The best thing about it was the staff. They were so nice and became friends. They also helped me get great deals on all the little tours and trips I went on. I would definitely go again and recommend this hotel to all my friends.

It was pretty property, quite old fashioned and fits in with the vibes of the area. There was an unpleasant strong smell from the bathroom but found that in many places in Istanbul so that wasn’t too great - perhaps to do with plumbing in Istanbul in general?. The view out the window was pretty nice though. It’s a decent hotel, mostly clean. Was really there to sleep and explore the city, decent price. Expect what you pay for. Staff were polite enough and eager to help.

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.

The property is ideally located for Istanbul’s sights. All the Turkish will say walking is impossible but it’s all within 300 meters to 1.5 miles. The property is very old and needs updating with decor and refreshing of painting and decorating. House keeping is terrible as the beds had hairs the toilet had hairs. Floor was not mopped and my used towels were just folded back and reused. The hotel cuts corners everywhere to maximise profits but there is very little to no consideration of tourist stay. Please do not travel to this hotel. You will be highly disappointed. It’s no more then a 2 star hotel. What a disappointment!

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.
