About

Erenler Hotel & Hostel

Erenler Hotel & Hostel sits on a quiet street in Sultanahmet, Istanbul's historic peninsula. It's a short walk from the tram station, making it easy to reach the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Grand Bazaar without a car. The building is simple, with a mix of private rooms and dormitories, and guests consistently praise the location and cleanliness.

The property runs as both a hotel and hostel, so it suits a range of travellers — from solo backpackers in the dorms to families in the triple or twin rooms. Staff are a noted highlight, with a 9.2 rating for helpfulness, and the hotel offers practical extras like luggage storage, laundry, and tour assistance. The vibe is no-frills, but the value in this part of town is hard to beat.

What works, what to weigh

Strengths

4 reasons to book

  • Helpful, friendly staff — Guests praised the team for arranging an early morning taxi at a good price and providing helpful assistance throughout. The staff rating reached 9.2.
  • Strong value for the area — With rooms starting from 22 GBP and a value rating of 8, this is an affordable base in one of Istanbul's most touristy districts. The property also offers a 24-hour reception and luggage storage.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Basic rooms in the economy category — Some rooms (Economy Shared Bathroom options) have no listed amenities — no air conditioning or heating — and share a bathroom. One guest called the vibe 'vintage' and 'utilitarian,' so don't expect luxury.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this property isn't an option — the policy is clear.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight won't be accommodated. The hotel is 2-star, so don't expect extensive on-site facilities beyond the basics.
