4.5 stars - almost 5!
Pros:

I marked this down.5 star due to the tiny bathroom with a raised edge on the shower that i stubbed my toe on daily & the full length mirror facing the toilet (no one needs to see that!!!)
the staff are fabulous, happy to help friendly and approachable.
the rooms were compact but came with a fridge, kettle with tea and coffee supplies. All rooms have individual air con so you can tailor it to your preference (loved this as i like an icy cold room) beds extremely comfortable. although the bathroom is small the water pressure in the shower is excellent.
Daily breakfast is geared more towards the Turkish - very carb heavy and potato/cheese dominant. but those spinach pastry things are to die for and my kryptonite!!!
what's really fabulous about this hotel is its location - 1min walk to a tram stop, approx 1km either direction to the spice bazaar or blue mosque, hagia sophia - everything is walkable!!!
multiple shops and restaurants are just a step away!!
highly recommended place to stay and if i'm ever back here again (never say never) i'd definitely choose this hotel!!

Pros:

I recently stayed at Erboy Hotel and had a mixed experience overall.
Pros:
    •    The service was generally good, with staff being polite and helpful at the front desk.
    •    The location is excellent — very central and convenient for exploring Istanbul’s main attractions.
    •    The breakfast had a good variety of options and was a nice way to start the day.
Cons:
    •    Room cleaning could have been better. It felt like it wasn’t done thoroughly during the stay.
    •    The hotel restaurant/room service was disappointing. The food didn’t match the menu description, and we were served (and charged for) a meal we didn’t order. The chicken was undercooked (pink inside), and when we tried to explain the issue, the staff didn’t understand due to a language barrier. When we raised it with reception, we were told it wasn’t their responsibility.
    •    The single beds are quite small, which might not be comfortable for everyone.
Overall:
Erboy Hotel has a great location and decent service, but the restaurant experience and room upkeep fell short. If you’re staying here, it might be best to dine out and manage expectations when it comes to room service and cleaning.

Nightmare in Erboy
Pros:

Room was a cubicle size when we asked for a standard double. When we inquired why the room looked different from what is on booking.com the receptions answer is that their double rooms are in various sizes and our was one of the small one. So you arw basically taking a chance with them as you may end up with a room that has no space to put youd luggage nor walk about when you put your luggage on the floor.

Reception told our local agent they will provide another room the next day but next day came and there still was no room. Their stories changed daily.

However, their solution was that we pay for an upgrade. Worked out well for them as they made more from us for a triple room. Not for us. Very unpleasant stay.

Comfy Hotel in Sikerci
Pros:

I haven't been to Istanbul in about a decade, so it was lovely to see that the hotel has stood the test of time. The check-in process was flawless, and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff were lovely, and my stay was without incident. While the breakfast was okay, it felt a bit monotonous and repetitive. However, you can easily explore nearby places to eat since you are in the heart of the Sirkeci area, which has plenty of tourist sites, shops, and eateries within walking distance.

Overall, it was a lovely stay, and I recommend this boutique and affordable hotel to those looking for accommodations in the area.

Pros:

My family of 4 stayed at this hotel in the family quadruple suite and we felt it was great. Good facilities, great staff and close to a lot of the main attractions and a tram station (Gulhame). Restaurant upstairs on the terrace is a good place to have dinner after a long day of exploring the sites! Highly recommend

BEWARE - 50 Euros for late stay Scam
Pros:

My name is Doctor Miah and my wife and I stayed for 5 nights at Hotel Erboy.

I was disappointed to learn at the end of my stay that I was charged 50 euros extra for a late stay - I needed to stay an extra 2 hours for my flight!

There is no policy for this and the receptionist made this up and said this was the policy for today. He admitted that there is no policy but said I would have to pay for half day which he said was 50 euros but checking online this is approximately the same as a full stay with breakfast on the Hotel Erboy Website. I felt ripped off. This is ridiculous behaviour and I have lost trust in this hotel as it behaved like a market trader trying to scam you!

Pleasant days at the Erboy Hotel
Pros:

I stayed at the Hotel Erboy in April and loved it. The location is excellent, easy access to various tourist attractions, a safe and beautiful area. The room was very nice, spacious and clean. The hotel has a lift, which helps with large suitcases. I had breakfast at the hotel and there was something different every day. The food was very good and varied. I loved the sesame rings (simit), they were medium-sized and very tasty. The best I've had in Turkey.
Mrs Egle helped me choose places to visit. All the staff were very friendly.
I loved it and would recommend it. I'll be back. Thank you!

Close but far from the historical sites, advise young couple.
Pros:

I had 6 days in Istanbul and I decided to divided the days in two places. This hotel was in Sultanahmet area. I thought will be close to the historical site but for me at 78 I find it to far to walk. So I took the tour. Breakfast nothing special and I was surprise was not turkish bread something that I was looking for. Around the hotel was narrow streets, cheap stores and very crowded.

Solid choice: quiet and well-located
Pros:

This hotel is close enough to the must-sees in Istanbul that I feared it would be noisy on the Saturday night I stayed there. I wrote in advance, asking for a quiet room, and they said they'd do what they could but reminded me they're in a busy area. I needn't have worried: it wasn't noisy at all.
