Erguvan Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent
"Nice and cozy family run place in a good neighborhood. The best part was that is a very short walk from the Sultanahmet bus stop for the Havaist Airport bus. We even boarded the bus for the return trip to the airport at 4:00 AM with no problem. Cheapest and most efficient airport transportation around."
