Erboy Hotel

“Gets my recommendation.”

Four of us recently spent five nights here. For location, rooms, food, service and price, I really think it would be hard to beat.

Four of us recently spent five nights here. For location, rooms, food, service and price, I really think it would be hard to beat. Our transfer to and from the airport was booked through the hotel and worked seamlessly. Our rooms were on the second floor, overlooking a quiet side street and had a Juliet balcony. Each room has a fridge and just across from the hotel there was a shop that sold milk. This was a useful addition to the tea/coffee etc. in our room. All of the staff were unfailingly pleasant and helpful. The rooms, in fact everywhere, were kept spotlessly clean and towels and bedding were changed frequently. Breakfast was a daily exploration of far too many tempting offers!

“Great Loaction. I would stay here again”

We stayed at the Hotel Erboy for 3 nights in mid April. We chose it for three reasons. First, it was rebuilt less than a decade ago supposedly to higher earthquake standards.

We stayed at the Hotel Erboy for 3 nights in mid April. We chose it for three reasons. First, it was rebuilt less than a decade ago supposedly to higher earthquake standards. I'm surprised that more hotels in Istanbul don't mention earthquake standards. Second the location is excellent, 10 minutes walk to the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi, Basilica Cistern and Blue Mosque. Third, it has well deserved good reviews. We paid slightly more by booking a triple room to give us more space. I'm glad we did, it gave us the room we needed for our luggage etc. It was a corner room on a high floor and had a reasonable view towards the Bosphorus. The bathroom was tiny though. The breakfast was good. We ate in the restaurant there one evening. The food was slightly variable but mostly very good and reasonable value. The staff on the front desk were very helpful. We used their airport pickup service. In the time we were there it went up from €50 to €60. Was it worth it? Probably - it was reasonable easy although we did have to wait about 20 minutes at the airport to be picked up, And when waiting for the transfer back, our car was nearly 30 minutes late 'stuck in traffic'. In fact, we stayed our final night in Istanbul at hotel near the airport to avoid the long trabsfer from the city centre. One warning - it takes a long time to get through Istanbul airport with long queus at bag drop and particularly at passport control. Plus the airport is so huge that it takes 15 minutes to walk to the departure gate. If I went back to Istanbul, I would stay at the Hotel Erboy again.

“Not 5 *”

Hotel was not 5 star unfortunately, their rooms are basic and breakfast standard and there is no iron in the room or the hotel. The location is undoubtedly perfect however staff dont advice you about things to do nearby . I definitely would not stay in this hotel again however the location is A1
