The Meretto Hotel Istanbul Old City Reviews

Great hotel with short walk to tram and bus to airport, not to far from tourist sites, walkable or take tram, tram goes straight to port, breakfast in hotel was ok, staff very friendly and informative, breakfast is served top floor where there is also a bar.

It was a great experience in Istanbul. At first glance the room was small and a bit old, but the service was brilliant. They cleaned the room every day, we had new slippers every day, the hot water was perfect and the breakfast was delicious, as well. The melon and the watermelon were really sweet and tasty, thank you! The reception is always there to help, we had a great Russian speaking manager who always talked to us and asked how our day was like. Unfortunately, we didn’t take any excursions because we are experienced enough to travel on our own , but they offer different kinds of entertainment, just ask them. The location was perfect for us, we could reach each of the parts of Istanbul - we experienced all types of public transport - buses, trams, metro stations and even Marmaray which is also 10mins walk from the hotel. The exchange office near the hotel was the most beneficial of all we saw in the city, don’t hesitate to exchange there. But be careful - on Sundays they sell the local currency a bit cheaper than in the evening, and it’s better to buy liras on weekdays. And be careful with the city view - we booked the room with the city view - but we had a terrible view on the old building and the rubbish on the ground , that was a bit disappointing because we paid for this room more because of the view. And there was only one socket , it was really uncomfortable. We had at least two phones, two watches and earphones to charge every day.

The single room is really small with a small window and the TV doesn't function. The breakfast is good but it was the same everyday, perhaps staying for 2 nights is good enough.

Location is good. And staffs are all kind and friendly. Amenities are almost nothing but price is good! That’s enough

Quite nice hotel. Small one , but very clean. Breakfast is very tasty. Near aksaray metro station 5 min by walk , and near tram station 3 min . Recommend this hotel for short stay.

Excellent hotel, very cozy, well located. Metro station and tram stop nearby. Delicious breakfasts, you can feed the seagulls. The staff is just super. Special thanks to Orhan. We will definitely come again.

Well-located hotel, very close to everything. A fairly comprehensive breakfast with constant refills. The only downside was that we were on the ground floor, too much noise from the reception desk.

Despite the fact that the toilet door was difficult to close and the view from the window was on a large gray wall, and the furniture required updating, staying at the hotel brought a lot of positive emotions. First of all, I would like to note the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. They treated us to tea, answered all questions, organized a fantastic excursion walk along the Bosphorus... In the spa - fantastic Aisha! Delicious breakfasts and excellent transport interchange (metro, tram within walking distance)

J'ai adoré mon séjour. Le service est incapable tout le monde est très accueillant. Le resto est impeccable avec beaucoup de choix. Merci particulièrement à Mouhamed vraiment 10|10 pour sa gentillesse et sa polyvalence linguistique.

スタッフの方は皆さん非常に親切でした。

My son was there at the beginning of June. He bought some fake sneakers, and they were stolen from his room. I've tried to speak to a supervisor, but they haven't answered. All they did was send us a four-minute video to prove they didn't steal them from inside the hotel. And the rest of the day? Where are the images? I imagine anyone who comes in already knows there are cameras, so they're not going to leave with the sneakers in their hands... but not a single detail. They go to the pool and charge for it, and the tourist tax is the same... disappointing.

I can thoroughly recommend this small Hotel. The reception staff, cleaning team & breakfast service are all so friendly & helpful. It is excellent value for money, including breakfast on the upper floor, with a view over the city & free bottled water in your room each day. The location is close to the Havaist airport shuttle bus. The Aksaray T1 tram station is minutes away. I will most definitely return to this Hotel. If you need anything just ask- for me, the room was too warm & the manager sorted it for me instantly. There is a fridge in the room, tea making facilities & the shower is brilliantly strong. The bed is firm, there is no external noise & I slept well. The room was spotlessly clean.

Great hotel. Clean and comfortable with excellent customer service and fabulous location. Sahin was amazing, went out of his way to make us feel at home. So sweet. Looking forward to return. The hotel is very close to the Blue mosque and the Grand Bazaar so makes a nice walk each morning.

We had a great time. The receptionists are kind and always trying to help. Also the breakfast crew is very polite and friendly. Rooms are always very clean and very confy. We loved our time there! The breakfast is both salty and sweet and there are so many kinds of food! It was really great. Thanks to everybody!
