Where the hotel is
Eresin Crown Hotel is a city hotel on Küçük Ayasofya Caddesi, in the Küçük Ayasofya quarter of Sultanahmet on Istanbul's historic peninsula. The Little Hagia Sophia Mosque and the Blue Mosque are both a short walk away, Hagia Sophia Square is a few minutes' walk, and the Grand Bazaar can also be reached on foot. Topkapı Palace is a short drive. Nearby hotels include Hotel Amira Istanbul, Bucoleon Palace Hotel and Hotel Sultan Hill.
Istanbul traffic can be heavy, especially at rush hour, and the way to Sabiha Gökçen means crossing the Bosphorus. When you book your return transfer, allow extra time before your flight. Your driver collects you at the hotel at the agreed time, and the price stays fixed whatever the traffic.
