We stayed at Erguvan Hotel for four nights in June 2008 after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. This was the final hotel in our 5 week trip to Europe and it was the best hotel we stayed at (and it wasn't the most expensive hotel). The rooms were immaculate, the location was fantastic and the staff were lovely. The only criticism would be that the sound proofing between the rooms wasn't great, so if you had noisey neighbours you could hear them. We would definately stay at the hotel again if we were to go back to Istanbul. Little tip ... if you are going to get a taxi back to the hotel at night, take a little map with you (there is one on the back of the hotels business card) as the taxi drivers can't find the hotel.

We stayed at the Erguvan for a long weekend mid-July. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful, and the cleaners did a fantastic job everyday. The location is very good, only a 5 minute walk from the Blue Mosque and a fantastic artisan market. The views from the roof terrace were fantastic. The outdoor restaurant slightly up the hill and across the street from the hotel was fantastic. My only complaint about the hotel really is that the soundproofing in the hotel is terrible. You need to be a deep sleeper or not worry about noise as the cleaners start at 8am and with the hard floored hallways you can hear them banging about. Also as we were on the first floor we could hear anyone talking in the courtyard as it tends to funnel noise straight up, we could also hear the t.v the guy on the desk was watching late Saturday night (to the point I had to call and ask them to turn it down!). The beds I found to also be on the hard side. However overall a nice hotel. I would class it more in the posh backbackers level.

We stayed in Hotel Erguvan for 2 weeks for our honeymoon in July 2006. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful and made you feel at home. It's in a convenient location with several restaurants around and a convenient store right across (great for buying water!). You can hear the call for prayer every morning and people selling in the streets. The full breakfast buffet on the hotel terrace was the best part, although repetitive (lots of selections but always the same ones...). Not a busy hotel - run by a family. There is a computer in the lobby and chess game - played a few rounds with hotel staff! lol There is a TV in the room and internet - a bit slow. Its walking distance from the blue mosque and saint sophia. Location was safe and secure. Wish i can go back! :)

The Erguvan is an excellent small, boutique hotel with a fantastic location in a wonderful city. Very, very clean (bathrooms and linens were immaculate). Lovely decor (even the tiles in the bathroom were unique!) and very efficient and friendly service. Rooftop restaurant adds to great ambiance of hotel. The Erguvan is a top rate hotel all the way--at a price most travelers can definately afford!
