Erten Konak is located in the historic district of the city (Sultanahmet district) in a quiet residential area 5 minutes. from the Blue Mosque and 10 min. from Hai Sophia. The hotel includes 8-10 rooms, on the first floor there is a good restaurant.
Hotel advantages:
1. Quiet, cozy area, close to sights. At night there was no noise from cars, away from street cafes.
You can’t get away from evening, night and morning services, in which hotel in Sultanahmet you didn’t check in, but, in my opinion, they add charm to the city even more.
2. Quite affordable prices: 100 euros for an ordinary room, 140 for a suite (breakfast is continental). The room has everything you need: a good repair, a large bed, a wardrobe, bedside tables, a table with chairs (in the suite), a refrigerator with a mini-bar, a safe, a TV with a couple of sea otters in Russian. language, Wi-Fi, the bathroom is cramped, but clean, tidy, plumbing in excellent condition (jacuzzi - in the suite).

Hairdryer, bathrobe, slippers, a set of 4-5 towels (changed every day), the most amazing thing is that shower gel, shampoo, etc. were added every day.
3. Friendly staff.
4. Arranges airport-hotel transfer (paid separately and in cash only), all other services can be paid by credit card.
5. A good restaurant, not cheap, but not too expensive either. Delicious coffee and baklava, by the way, you can order coffee late in the evening and at night, but not food and drinks.
6. Residents are mostly Europeans, so in the evening there is order and silence in the hotel.

Hotel cons:
1. Cramped rooms, suites are larger than the standard by 3-6 square meters. meters. On the last floor, the ceiling is very low (approximately 2.00 -2.10 m), but the standard height of the walls is 3.5 m. The bathroom is also cramped.
2. The staff speaks only Turkish and English (but even with a little knowledge of English and / or the presence of a dictionary, you can always find mutual understanding).
3.
Every day for breakfast the same thing, the variety, perhaps, only in fruits.

In general: the impression of the hotel is very positive!!!
If you are going to see the beauty of historical Istanbul - you are here!!!

By the way, based on my own experience - dollars, of course, are taken, but not everywhere and not as willingly as our fellow citizens describe, therefore - do not be lazy: change money at exchange offices.

Happy pastime in this wonderful city!! !
