I had a lovely stay at Hotel Erguvan for two nights. The location couldn't be better—just a short walk from the iconic Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. My room was clean, comfortable, and featured a beautiful view of the Marmara Sea. The breakfast served was good, with the added pleasure of enjoying it on the rooftop terrace. However, I did find the cobbled streets a bit challenging for anyone with mobility issues, as the hotel is situated on a hill. Overall, I would certainly return! 😊
