How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
Where ERK Hotel sits, and how far the landmarks are
ERK Hotel stands on Kum Meydanı Sokak in Istanbul, postcode 34110. Measured in a straight line, it is about 0.4 km from Topkapı Palace, about 0.5 km from Hagia Irene and about 0.7 km from Hagia Sophia. Sultan Ahmed Mosque is about 1 km away, Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.3 km, and Galata Tower also about 1.3 km.
Sirkeci railway station is the closest transport landmark at about 0.2 km. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.6 km away, in a straight line, and the hotel runs an airport shuttle for a fee.
Double rooms from 15 m² to 22 m²
Every room at ERK Hotel is a double room, and the range runs from 15 m² to 22 m². The two smallest are the Budget Double Room and the Economy Double Room, Non Smoking, both 15 m² with one double bed. The Budget sleeps up to 3, while the Economy is non-smoking and sleeps up to 2, so a third traveller rules out the Economy.
In the middle sit the two Standard Double Rooms, each 18 m² with one double bed. The plain Standard sleeps up to 3; the Courtyard View version sleeps only 2 but looks onto the courtyard. At the top are the two 22 m² Superior rooms: the Superior Double Room has a queen bed and sleeps up to 3, and the Superior Double or Twin Room, City View has a city view and sleeps up to 2.
For a couple who want space and a view, the Superior Double or Twin Room, City View is the pick. For a third person sharing, the Budget Double Room, the Standard Double Room and the Superior Double Room each sleep up to 3, and the Superior Double is the largest of them.

A spa, hammam and sauna, a lift and massage services
The hotel's facilities include a spa, a hammam and a sauna and suits travellers who want to unwind after a day out rather than only sleep. There is a lift, and massage services and beauty services are among what the hotel offers. The airport shuttle is paid, as is the general shuttle service.
Rooms are air conditioned and heated, with soundproofing in some, and the hotel is non-smoking throughout apart from a designated smoking area. The front desk runs around the clock, with concierge and tour desk services.
Check-in, check-out, children and pets
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed at the hotel. Pets are not allowed.
Who ERK Hotel suits, and who it does not suit
The hotel suits couples and small groups of up to three who want to be close to the major landmarks: Topkapı Palace, Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque are all within about 1 km, in a straight line. The spa, hammam and sauna add a layer of comfort that the room sizes alone would not suggest, and the paid airport shuttle eases the roughly 30.6 km trip from Sabiha Gökçen.
It does not suit pet owners, since pets are not allowed. Anyone wanting a room for more than three people, or anything larger than 22 m², will not find it here: every room is a double, and the maximum any of them sleeps is 3.
