Hotel Erten Konak (Istanbul, Turkey)

Previous guests agree that this hotel's situation in two historically-protected 20th century houses is very appealing, providing not only a beautiful building in which to stay but also inspiration for the decor throughout. The hotel is well kept, and guests agree it is clean and modern with character that makes it a unique option they would recommend or return to.

Not only are staff at this hotel reportedly warm, welcoming and efficient in their work, but they are very knowledgeable with excellent recommendations on what to see and do, and where to eat in the area.

While not every room faces the way of the famous structure, many previous guests enjoyed a direct view of the beautiful building and say it was one of their favourite aspects of their room. Some mention being able to see the Blue Mosque directly through their window from bed.

There is general agreement among previous guests that the range on offer for breakfast is a bit limited with cold meats, cheeses and fruits the predominant option. It should be noted however that this is a fairly standard breakfast selection at Turkish accommodation providers and there were many guests who delighted in such dishes.

Some previous guests found that their rooms had fewer working electrical outlets than they would have liked, with several reviewers reporting outlets that did not work and blown light bulbs that were not replaced.

Most reviewers did not find the hotel's lack of elevator to be a significant negative, but do feel the need to warn future guests that they will be required to climb stairs.
