Great location. Great and helpful staff, always friendly and nice. The breakfast was on the a panoramic restaurant from which you could see all the city, food was great. Wifi was quite quick when compared to other hotels.

Adrian United Kingdom

Great location and amazing view from the hotel room and the terrace. Feels like a small family hotel with two rooms on the floor. The room has everything you need. Would definitely come back when I am in the city next time.

Natela Russia

perfect location for sightseeing and enjoying Istanbul

Petr Russia

The hotel manager is a very sweet and helpful person and in general all the staff are really amazing. After a long day we felt that we were returning to our own home. The location was incredible too. The room was cleaned every day. Breakfast was served at the top terrace level of the nearby hotel with amazing view. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I greatly enjoyed my stay at Merial Hotel! The location is amazing -- it is 7 minutes away form the Archaeological Museum and 10 from Hagia Sofia, and there are many restaurants and shops nearby. The room was very comfortable, clean, and nicely looking, and the WIFI worked really well, which was very important for me. Breakfast was very good -- at the top terrace level of the nearby hotel -- and came with an amazing view! I will be definitely staying there again!

Marina United States

We were a short distance from the Hagia Sophia, right in the heart of the city, the location was incredible! The staff was kind and helpful, they gave us useful tips too. The room was really small but clean, but we didn’t plan to spend much time there either way, so it was perfect for us. The breakfast was at a different hotel, but it was really close (40-50meters) and it was a panorama restaurant so we could see the hagia sophia. All in all, it turned out to be a lot greater than we expected! Definitely recommend!

The stuff was nice and benevolent. The owner is a very helpful and kind. The location was good as it is close to all popular sights. The tram station is in 5-7 min. The breakfast was with a great view in an opposite hotel.

Fantastic location so close to everything. Breakfast was great and the staff were lovely

Jessica United Kingdom

The hotel front desk manager Gorham is a fantastic person very careful and helpful and in general all the staff are really gentle. Unbeatable location right besides Santa Sophia mosque and breakfast in a roof terrace with awesome views.
