Sirkeci Ersu Hotel & SPA

The location in the Sultanahmet Old Town is very near Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapi. The hotel is right on a tramline and very close to Galata Bridge, the ferries in Eminönü and the underground Marmaray subway line - makes traveling around the city easy. The bathroom is small but with a big shower space and excellent hot water and water pressure. Breakfast is quite good - many choices, especially with vegetarian dishes - the hotel serves real drip coffee, unlike many hotels in Turkey that serve Nescafe. Much of the food is made in-house by staff like our Georgian friend Maida. Unlike many places, tea, coffee, juices and water are available for free in the lobby throughout the day. Kristina from Armenia at the front desk was also great. and very helpful Internet and elevator worked well. Room safe is secure. A number of good and cheap places to eat nearby (find Hodjapasha pedestrian street but avoid tourist traps on main street). Unlike many places in Istanbul, sauna and steam room are available free of charge to guests. Massages highly recommended. Bed linens and towels changed more than is usual in this city. Room had airconditioning, but didn't need it. Nice porch to sit outside on next to pedestrian street.

It’s a good Hotel - the staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Kristina, if you have problems about your stay at the hotel just go to her she’ll find immediately a solution for you or if you have any questions about your stay in Istanbul she’ll give you very good tips. Room service comes every day - they come in only if you push the button next to the door. Kristina if you see this, we thank you very much

excellent staff very friendly, amazing location close to all the main attractions clean rooms . if you are looking for something clean and comfy just to sleep and be around everything totally recommend it

I had a brilliant stay there. I liked everything from the reservation desk to the room. Ha! Breakfast was nice. Staff was very friendly and nice. Also, Staff is fluent in English and Russian. So, visitor won’t have communication issues. I am so grateful to Kristina 🌹 she helped me a lot during my visit the city. And guys (I don’t know their names), instantly fixed some stuff. in addition, location is perfect if you’re going to travel throughout the Istanbul. 7 mins to Marmaray station, 3 mins to Gulhane tram station, abt 10 mins to Eminonu tram, ferry, bus stations.

The location and staff are the most fabulous things about this hotel! It is within easy walking distance of most of Istanbul’s most famous monuments! The staff are welcoming and accommodating. The place is also a very fair price, very cheap especially for the location. The rooms are on the smaller side but the air conditioning is great and we didn’t find it a big deal.
