Istanbul's Erboy
Hotel is
located in the up-and-coming hotel
district of Sirkeci which
is close to the highly efficient Zeytinburnu-Kabatas
tram—the Gülhane tram
stop is only a few steps away (Google
map).
Gülhane Park is just around the corner,
and Old
Istanbul, home to Topkapi
Palace, the
Blue
Mosque and Aya
Sofya, is just
a short uphill walk (or one tram stop)
away.
A downhill stroll quickly brings
you to Eminönü, Sirkeci
Station, the Egyptian
(Spice) Bazaar, Galata
Bridge,
Golden
Horn, and the ferries to
the
Bosphorus,
Haydarpasa
Station, Üsküdar, and Kadiköy.
The Erboy has 85 guest rooms, all
with private bathrooms and televisions.
Some of them are designated for non-smokers.
The décor is smart, unfussy
and, above all, spotless.
The ground-floor Pasazade
Restaurant has
been decorated to look like a Turkish
mahalle (neighbourhood)
of little wooden Ottoman houses.
Not surprisingly it’s
Ottoman cuisine that
features most prominently on the
menu. The fixed
menus are a great way to sample
a selection of dishes you might not
have thought of otherwise: çiplak
börek ("naked" borek), for
example, or ekmek kadayifi (crumpets
in a thick syrup with clotted cream).
In high summer the Istanbul
Terrace Restaurant opens on the fifth floor.
Its terrace offers a panoramic
view out towards Topkapi
Palace and the
Bosphorus.
The downstairs Blues Bar features
a Happy Hour from 16:00 (4 pm) to 18:00
(6 pm) daily.
This is a great hotel for people on
a tighter budget who still want to
be close to all the sights. It’s
also convenient for a cluster of good,
cheap lokantas (simple
restaurants) frequented by the Turks
who work around Eminönü in the lively
district called Hocapasa.
The Erboy Hotel is
part of the Sirkeci
Group Hotels owned by Mr Faruk Boyaci which includes
the nearby Orient
Express Hotel and
Sirkeci
Konak Hotel.
When you make a reservation, please
