7.8/10

Staying on the ground floor was wonderful, but the absence of an electric kettle could be problematic when traveling with a child. Additionally, the lack of a lift in the building can be hazardous if your room is on the 2nd floor.

Rooms

7.0

The room on the ground floor was delightful, but not having an electric kettle poses a challenge, especially with a child. Also, the absence of a lift in a building with rooms on higher floors can be risky, especially when traveling with a toddler.

Service

9.0

From the moment we checked out to our return trip to the UK, our experience at Erten Konak hotel was excellent. The non-smoking, neat, and clean room, along with the helpful and friendly staff, particularly Kadir, who assisted us with everything, made our stay truly enjoyable.

Location

8.0

The location of the hotel is excellent for exploring Sultanahmet's attractions. It's just a short walk to Aya Sofia, the sea, and major landmarks like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace.

Dining

The dining experience was very good with a nice variety that catered to different dietary requirements. However, there is room for improvement in service and offerings.

7.4/10

The hotel rooms were really clean and spacious, although the lack of an electric kettle was a big inconvenience for us, especially with a child. Additionally, not having a lift in the building, particularly when staying on the 2nd floor with a toddler, felt quite risky. The room itself was not different from the pictures, but we would opt for the 3rd floor next time due to our height.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were clean and spacious, meeting our expectations from the pictures. However, the absence of an electric kettle was a letdown, especially with a child.

The service was mostly friendly and helpful, although we were taken aback when told to move to a different 'building' for 2 nights without much explanation or compensation.

8.2/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and very clean, but some areas were a little dusty which made it challenging to fully unpack. The service was exceptional with a 'can-do' attitude from the staff, especially UmitTaruk who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The location was fantastic, close to the main attractions of Sultanahmet, making sightseeing convenient. The dining options were good with a decent variety, although seating at breakfast was limited at times.
