“Convenient location but substandard”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

Ersu hotel was recommended to me by a friend who had stayed at the same hotel. But when I checked-in the lobby had a rancid smell along with the smell of smoke (unavoidable I guess in Turkey). The room was small but good enough for a single person. the room looked clean but the bathroom was the dirtiest I have seen....the shower-head had all sorts of gunk on it and the water flowed out of the stall in trickle. The food was substandard....they had the same fare throughout my stay of 4 days.... there was hardly any fruit or yogurt served during breakfast. THis was a disappointment. I guess you get what one pays for and the room rates are quite cheap compared to other hotels in Sultanahmet.

Room Tip: Check the state of bathrooms before checking in.

“good location, average hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

A bit dark, a bit noisy, dated basic rooms and not very clean; bathroom ok and clean; staff very friendly and willing to help, location - PERFECT. For the price paid (30-40 EUR per night a standard double), it was a fair choice and i would stay there again.

“Hard to find but nice place to stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

The hotel was a bit problematic for my taxi to find since it is nestled inside an alley. The room itself was small and uninviting but the hotel is close to many restaurants and bars. About a 15 minute walk gets you to the train station and harbour. Another 20 minute walk in the other direction gets you to the spice market and other attractions. Everyone spoke English so there is no problem finding your way around or asking for directions.

“Nice location, friendly staff.....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2011

Hotel is excelently located - it is in the city centre, 5-mins walk from Hagia Sophia & Blue Mosque... Staff is friendly and rooms are not big, but quite cosy (clean & with all you might need for a short stay). Internet in the hotel lobby is free of charge but it doesn't work as it should (at least, it did not function for me!).
One remark: bring a book when staying in the room during night, since all their TV channels are in Turkish (only 1 is ocassionaly without sinzhronization).
Food is excellent (we did have only breakfast but you should try their cheese & cheese pies; jymmmuuuuuu!!)....
