Als je een hele kleine maar prima hotel wilt hebben met alle highlights op loopafstand en de tram om de hoek dan is dit de place to be. Uiteraard kan je overal op af aanmerkingen over hebben. Maar het ia prima bivakkeren, je haalt het ontbijt in een ander hotel wat ook onder dezelfde vlag valt. Het is van 1 eigenaar. Maar even terug op het hotel zelf. Het heeft een ienieminie lift maar het past net met 2 personen en bagage. De kamer is klein maar heeft eennkast een tafel en een bad met douche. De bedden zijn wel hard maar alles word netjes schoongemaakt dagelijks. De heren van de receptie zijn heel lief en willen je met alles helpen. Dus voor relatief weinig geld is het een leuk hotel.

otel konumu gerçekten çok iyi. Ama kaldığım odada su gider borusunun yukarı katlarsakilerin sifonu çekmesiyle kafama dökülüyormuş gibi ses çıkarması her defasında uyandırdı. 101 nolu oda bu açıdan kötü. diğerlerini bilemiyorum. Do not choose h room #101. he noise from waste pipes will not let you sleep well. very good location.

Great time in nice place

Perfect localisation, main attractions like Haga Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topcapi Palace on foot distance. Which saves a lot of time in queues to get the tickets to the museums and sites. Not a very big hotel, but cosy and clean. Breakfast in hotel near by with astonishing panoramic view on main attractions and Bosphorus. Very friendly owner and the rest of the staff. Easy way to get from the airport by Havaist shuttle bus service to Sultanahmet. Wonderful stay, wonderful memories of the moments in İstanbul

it is a very small hotel. The rooms are done with a local touch which is nice. The bathroom with the bath tub you can sin in is great. Kettle and fridge in the roo. Breakfast is good and taken in a bigger hotel next door on the rooftop with great scenery. the manager M. Gurhan became our private turist information center. Clean hotel but would need to give a good wash and white to the curtains ( just me being picky)

Moh, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value

The location of the hotel is without a doubt beyond perfect if you intend to do sightseeing in Istanbul. All the main sights in Sultanahmet are within walking distance and public transport connects the hotel with the rest of Istanbul very well. One thing to consider before booking this hotel, is the relatively small size of the rooms and the bathroom. For short stays it should not be a big issue but if you're staying for more than 3-4 nights, you might want to look elsewhere. Probably the biggest issues for us were a distinctive smell of sewage and noise. The most disturbing was the noise of running water when people in other rooms were showering or using the toilet, especially at night. To conclude, we had a nice stay at Hotel Merial. You get a good value for the price you pay. However, be sure you are ready to make concessions as regards the issues I explained above.

5 stars service

I was treated like a family member by the manager. He was extremely helpful and always ready to give me advises and information. The breakfast included in a nearby restaurant with a panoramic view was a great way to start the day. If you are looking for a comfortable room very close to all the main attractions that Istanbul has to offer, look no further !

Nice Hotel close to all attractions

Very small hotel, but it was exactly what we wanted. It was quiet and clean and close to all the main attractions which was in walking distance. The staff were friendly and willing to help. Thanks again Merial hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

It is very well located and is a practical hotel

This hotel is not for fancy travelers. It is nice and small. For me was a nice hotel because has all the things that I expect: a good bed, nice and simple bath, air conditioned and full of small details. There is not a restaurant inside but I do not miss It because is surrounded with a lot of restaurants (small ones, expensive ones, any kind) The service is excellent and everybody are disposal to help you. The hotel is for short time trips. This hotel is for lonely travelers or maybe two. Not recomended with kids.

Une service a la turque

Quelle service. Merci encore a Engin, le concierge de la journee. Il ma aide de trouver mon pere qui a eu un probleme de visa. Il a passe des heures au telephone pour telephoner lapolice a laeroport. Apres il m'a aussi aider de trouver la valise de mon pere. Tous le mnde etait genial. Tout le monde etait vraiment sympa. Lhotel est tres bien situe, a pied pour tout. Meme de mosque bleu. Demandez une chambre derriere pour ne pas avoir le brui de la rue et les chants de la mosque. Le petit dejeuner est sur le toit avec une vue magnifique a presque de 360 degrees. Cest un tre bon rapport qualite prix, pour le placemen et la service. Ces dommage que ils ont perdu 90 % de touristes en tuquie. Cest vraiment un beau pays avec des gens le plus accueillant que jai vu. Jai voyage dansplus de 50 pays. Cest la pemiere foisque je me senscomme chez moi.

200%. Top service

service was 200% . Turkish people were the nicest. And this hotel was full proof of it. My dad had visa issues problem. We were supposed to meet at thehotel. After 4 hours of waiting for him, i started getting really worried. special thanks t Engin who spent hours on the phone caling the airport lookingformy Dad. After 10 hrs we finally found that he was sent back. At least i was assured that he was safe, thanks to the help of engin. He even helped me look for my Dad's lost luggage after. That is what you call A class service. as for the rooms, just make sure to ask for the rooms not facing the streets to avoid thenoise of the street and mosque. Otherwise, the rooms are big, clean and comfortable for European standards.
