Guest Reviews
- Ildikó (10/5): Perfect choice for sightseeing for affordable price - Perfect location for sightseeing, clean and comfortable room, excellent breakfast in the rooftop restaurant. The wifi was very weak on the fourth floor, although it was mostly unavailable..
- Ritvars (10/5): -
- raffaele (10/5): Istanbul è davvero una città da visitare - Colazione ottima, variegatissima e a buffet. Staff gentilissimo e disponibilissimo. Nara che è la ragazza della colazione, è una persona veramente speciale, attenta alle esigenze di tutti e ultra disponibile per non citare che è sempre sorridente. La struttura dove abbiamo dormito. È molto comoda, pulizie giornaliere e ricambio asciugamani giornaliero. Il receptionist è una persona gentile e disponibile. Nulla
- Simona Florica (8/5): O experiență frumoasă pentru prețul decent. - Ca este situată într-o zoana foarte bună și este în apropiere de obiectivele turistice. Mai este un avantaj ca micul dejun s-a luat la un restaurant de lângă (Hotel Adamar) cu o priveliște uimitoare și mâncare foarte buna. Camerele mici comparativ cu cele de pe site. La wi-fi nu am putut să ne conectăm, iar tv nu funcționa și la baie curgea apa de sub ghiuveta:(.
- Ginamq (10/5): - El personal muy amable, la ubicación perfecta y el desayuno 10/10
- Juha (9/5): Vastinetta rahalle. - Todella avulias ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Aamiainen joka tarjoillaan viereisessä hotellissa on todella runsas ja hyvä. Aamiaisella on runsaasti paikallisia ruokia ja vaihtuvuutta päivittäin. Meillä oli huone sisäpihan puolelta ja todella hiljainen. Sijainti myös hyvä, kaikki kohteet kävelymatkan päässä.
- JOSE LUIS (8/5): - Excelente desayuno.
Este se ofrecía enfrente en otro hotel. Más espacio en la habitación.
- Brigita (10/5): Viskas buvo puikiai. - Čia lankėmės jau antrą kartą, nes viskas atitiko mūsų lūkesčius. Malonus personalas. Puiki strategiškai vieta. Daug kas pasiekiama pėstute. Pusryčiai šalia esančiame viešbutyje, kur nuostabus vaizdas į miestą, aukščiausiame aukšte. Už keleto mėnesių vėl vyksime į Stambulą ir vėl lankysimės čia, nes puikus kainos ir kokybės santykis.
- Marisel (9/5): - La ubicación y el desayuno Habitaciones modestas pero justificadas por el precio
- Elena (10/5): - Great value for money. Center, key attraction points are nearby - if you're a tourist, it's a strategic location. Comfy bed, good sleep. Clean. Breakfast with a view. I love Istanbul, so I'm a bit biased - but I would stay here again 😊 PS - my room was on the 4th floor with windows to the street. For one person it was just right.
- Ritvars (10/5): -
- Strouf (9/5): - Hezký malý hotýlek ve skvělé lokalitě, pár minut na metro i na tramvaj, k Hagia Sofia a do nádherného parku Gulhane, který když projdete tak se dostanete na fantastické místo odkud je nádherný výhled na Bosporský most a evropskou i asijskou část města, velmi milý majitel/recepční a dobrá snídaně v hotelu přes ulici v restauraci v 6. patře s terasou a úchvatným výhledem
- Maciej (8/5): - Skromny, ale czysty obiekt z tradycyjnymi tureckimi akcentami w aranżacji pokojów. Świetna lokalizacja dla zwiedzających historyczne obiekty centrum Stambułu: Hagia Sophia, Pałac Topkapi, Błękitny Meczet, Cysterna Bazyliki, Park Gulhani, brama Wysokiej Porty dosłownie kilka kroków od obiektu. także tradycyjne atrakcje jak hammam czy pokaz tańca derwiszów, dobre restauracje i sklepy do wyboru. Łatwy dojazd także w inne dzielnice miasta. Codzienne sprzątanie. Dużym plusem są śniadania w panoramicznej restauracji w sąsiednim obiekcie: piękne widoki, a same śniadania dobrej jakości. Praktycznie brak kawy/herbaty w pokoju.
- Laurence (9/5): - Excellent location. Very close to Hagia Sophia.
Staff were friendly.
It felt safe.

- Lucie (10/5): - Proche de tous les sites touristiques,du tram, quartier vivant, petit dej sur le toit de l' hôtel à côté..chambre bien décorée,nous n'avions pas de vue ( mur) mais cela ne nous à pas gêné car la chambre est coquette! Transfert retour vers l' aéroport avec l' hôtel simple à gérer pour pas beaucoup plus cher.
- Inna (10/5): -
- Cristina (10/5): - Everything. Location, cleanliness. Nothing.
- Marina (10/5): - Un hotel, cómodo, limpio, con personal super agradable, muy bien situado, a pesar de estar en el centro no es ruidoso, con una calefacción maravillosa. El desayuno buffet muy variado , riquísimo con una terraza y unas vistas impresionantes. Lo recomiendo totalmente. No puedo comentar nada negativo porque no lo tiene.
- Doris (10/5): -
- Park (1/5): Merial hotel 후기 - 오후에 프런트에 계시는 할아버지는 친절하고 위치가 좋음 낡아서 화장실 수전은 물이 사방으로 나오고 더럽고 24시 프런트라고 했으나 해지면 사람이 없음 해지고 도착한다고 미리 연락했음에도 불구하고 사람이 없음 전화하니 전화도 안 받고 결국 터키인 친구가 전화 해서 불러줌 시설도 낡고 난방도 안됨 방음도 안되서 방변경으로 요청했으나 체크 아웃 후에 확인 하겠다고 함 ;;
- z (8/5): - 性价比 太靠近马路边了,噪音有点多。
- Maycka (9/5): Valuable for your money - The location was exceptional.
The breakfast buffet was pretty good, if you like eating salty food.
The view from the restaurant was exceptional.
Mural, was very kind helping me with the local information and with the water.
- amina (9/5): -
- Yalcin (9/5): - Die zentrale Lage und das Personal war sehr freundlich hilfsbereit und das Frühstück war phänomenal. Ich bekam ein Zimmer an der Straßenseite es war sehr laut,
nach Frage
an der Rezeption bekam ich einen ruhigen Zimmer.
- Simone (9/5): Piccolo gioiello dietro Santa Sofia - - posizione comoda,
- colazione eccezionale e fatta in uno splendido rooftop,
- cambio asciugamani giornaliero, anche se non richiesto. nulla
- Hsiang fei (10/5): 👍 - 友好的員工 市中心的地點 每日豐盛的早餐加極美的日出
建議事先告知抵達時間 飯店不會一直有人在
- Leïla (8/5): - Le personnel aux petits soins
Hôtel propre
Petit déjeuner très bon avec vue de0uis le 5 ème étage sur Istanbul Tout est bien
Juste noter que le petit déjeuner est dans un autre hôtel a 2min a pieds
- SACHI (10/5): - フレンドリーなスタッフ
観光地に近いロケーション
空港からシャトルバスで来る場合は、トラムに乗ろうとせず徒歩でアヤソフィア前の広場を突っ切るのが最短です。 特になし
- Radek (10/5): - Perfektní lokalita, snídaně sice vw vedlejším objektu, ale s krásným výhledem na město a dobré jídlo. Pokoj přiměřeně veliký a denně uklizený. Určitě se vrátím!
- Osivcic (9/5): -
- Andrius (10/5): Stambulas yra labai gerai ;) - Pusryčiai puikūs - skanu, o ir pasirinkimas gan didelis. Vaizdas nuo terasos (ant stogo kur pusryčiavome) - nuostabus. Draugiškas viešbučio administratorius, maloniai pasikalbėjome (gerai kalba angliškai). Lovos patogios. Yra liftas tik labai mažutis (max. 3 žmonės) Trūksta tik peleninės prie lauko durų. Administratorius sakė, kad kiek tik padeda - tiek dingsta :D :D :D
- PANAGIOTA (9/5): -
- MARIUS (10/5): Amazing place in Istanbul! - The rooms are very nice decorated, the staff is great, and they actually upgraded one of our rooms that we booked. everything was very clean, and the room was cleaned daily. the beds were very comfortable and big.
Breakfast is served across the street, in a panoramic restaurant with amazing view over Istanbul, especially Hagia Sophia. there is a lot of turkish dishes so for someone that is not used to this kind of food it might seem different at first, but overall the food is very good.
The location is also amazing and we were able to see a lot of attractions without traveling by bus or car.
Would definitely stay here again! the street was a bit noisy at times
- Lucyene_dt (10/5): - A localização é excelente, porque fica a poucos metros das principais atrações turísticas, o que facilita os deslocamentos. É possível chegar na região de Karakoy e Taksim de T1, e tem uma estação muito próxima. O café da manhã é maravilhoso, no rooftop de um outro hotel, que fica a 30 metros de distância. Chegamos de madrugada e havia uma pessoa nos esperando para nos receber e fazer o check in. Tem elevador. O quarto e banheiro não eram muito grandes, mas é muito confortável para um casal.
- Vince (10/5): - Nagyon jo lokacio, kozel mindenhez. A vendeglato nagyon kedves es segitokesz votl. Kicsit talan vilagos volt a szoba, hiaba a sotetitok. Es reggel hangos volt az utcara nezo szoba. De a lokacio tokeletes.
- Benjamin (8/5): Excellent séjour - Localisation excellente pour visiter Istanbul ( quartier historique)
Chambre agréable et confortable, ménage +++, accessibilité même tardivement, petit déjeuner très bien surtout car de 8h à 10h, vue mémorable Sonorisation légère, et la culture du klaxon rend le repos moins facile.
- Fátima (8/5): -
- Sergei (10/5): - Хорошая локация, вежливый и доброжелательный персонал, отличные завтраки, уютный номер.
- Andrea (10/5): Un lugar céntrico y con buena relación precio-calidad - Excelente ubicación cercano a lugares turísticos de interés, buena comunicación y atención por parte del anfitrión, siempre dispuesto a ayudar con lo que fuese necesario. El lugar de desayuno si bien no se encuentra en el mismo edificio, está muy cerca y cuenta con una vista excepcional y muy buena comida. Nuestro vuelo de regreso salía al final de la tarde y nos guardaron el equipaje muy amablemente para poder aprovechar nuestro último día en la ciudad. De igual manera nos ayudaron con la contratación del traslado al aeropuerto a un precio muy conveniente.
- Sergei (10/5): - Всё комфортно и удобно, центр рядом. Завтраки очень хорошие, большое разнообразие блюд. С террасы ресторана, где мы эавтракали, прекрасный панорамный вид на город. Персонал вежливый и доброжелательный.
- Azra (10/5): - The rooms and breakfast at the terase overlooking Istanbul were great. Location is the best for visiting the atractions in Sultanahmed and it is very close to two tram station - just a few minutes walk. A lot of good cafes and restaurants are in the neighborhood. The staff Everything great.

- Enguel (10/5): - Precio, calidad y muy ubicación.
Ademas del trato del personal, siempre amigable. Interior a una terraza un poco oscura y sucia
- raffaele (10/5): Istanbul va visitata se si vuole assaporare un po di cordialità mista alla cultura orientale - Staff estremamente cordiale e disponibile. Pulizie giornaliere eccellenti. Colazione abbondante con vista spettacolare della citta. Posizione assolutamente centralissima. Vicinissima a molti siti e alle fermate dei bus. Assolutamente consigliatissima. nulla.
- Beate (7/5): Für eine mehrtägige Stadtbesichtigung lag das Hotel mitten im Leben. Bitte die asiatische Seite Istanbuls besuchen, lohn - Sehr zentrale Lage Uns haben Nachttischlampen gefehlt, wir mussten immer die etwas ungemütliche Deckenbeleuchtung einschalten. Das Bad hatte einen tollen Fußboden und eine sehr schöne Wandlampe. Leider war es nachts sehr, sehr laut, wir hatten ein kleines Zimmer zur Straßenseite. Zum einen der Straßenverkehr und das Gehupe, zum anderen wurde nachts das Nachbarhaus entkernt und der ganze Schutt wurde geräuschvoll in einen Laster gekippt. In der einen Nacht bis 2:00 Uhr morgens. Das Frühstück im Obergeschoss des Nachbarhotels war toll und unser Wirt war sehr, sehr freundlich!
- Danijel (10/5): Awesome! - Everything was nice. Great location and staff, delicious breakfast. There is a construction at surrounding buildings so it may be noisy during the day.
- Natalia (10/5): -
- Razvan (10/5): -
- Abdurakhmanova (10/5): - Удобно расположенная гостиница, в шаговой доступности от главных туристических мест - площадь Султанахмет, Голубая мечеть, Айя София, Гранд базар, Египетский базар, близость к трамвайной линии Т1, множество кафе и ресторанов поблизости, внимательный и отзывчивый персонал, особенно мистер Мурод и весельчак Аладдин, конечно же великолепные завтраки с видом на Босфор Шум от стройки вблизи отеля, конечно это не вина отеля. Отсутствие фена и электрочайника, а также холодильника в номере
- Anneso (8/5): Très bon rapport qualité prix - Très bon emplacement !
En plein cœur de sultanahmet
A quelques minutes a pieds des attractions et de station tram, métro...
Beau petit hôtel charmant et typique
Très très bon rapport qualité prix
Des chambres corrects literie confortable
Super petit déjeuner servi dans l'hôtel a côté qui est équipé d'un rooftop panoramique avec une vue magnifique sur la ville et le bosphore ainsi que les attractions.
Aucuns regrets quand à la location de cette hôtel pour notre séjour d'une semaine Régulièrement des travaux donc plutôt Bruyant ! 3 fois sur la semaine nous avons eu cette gênance.
- Gihad (10/5): -
- Djon Gir (7/5): -
- Louis (10/5): - Super beliggenhed.
Morgenmad med fantastisk udsigt.
Værdi for pengene.
Gode faciliteter.
Flot værelse og badeværelse. Væggene var tynde, så jeg kunne let høre naboværelset eller værelset ovenpå.
- Hamza (10/5): -
- Matheus (10/5): Awesome stay we had! - The host was wonderful!
He made us fell really like home!
breakfast is delicious and great view.
Perfect localiztion. allwas great!
- Cagnotto (10/5): - Posizione eccellente, a due passi da tutte le moschee e le attrazioni principali. L'host è una persona gentilissima, ci ha persino offerto delle bottiglie d'acqua quando siamo arrivati, essendo molto tardi ed i locali tutti chiusi.
- Éva (9/5): - Nagyon kedves volt a személyzet,eredetileg 2 egyágyas szobát foglaltam,de maguktól felajánlottak egy franciaágyas szobát.Mindennap takarítottak,a szobák tiszták voltak.
Kb.150 méterre helyezkedik el számos látnivalóhoz pl.Kék Mecset,ill. a T1- es villamoshoz.
A reggeli kiváló volt,változatos,gyönyörű kilátással.A panoráma étterem kb.10 méterre van a másik szállodájukban. Nem volt ilyen.

- Salvatore (10/5): For sure I’ll come back again !!!! - Location, cozy place, and excellent breakfast in a trrrace with a beautiful view of the old town and its monuments. Everything was a visitor expect to find in a hotel.
- Iurii (10/5): We’re so happy we chose Merial Hotel Sultanahmet in Istanbul! - We loved everything about our stay.
The room was super clean and cozy.
The location is perfect right in the heart of the city. We enjoyed walking around all day and discovering Istanbul on foot.
The breakfasts were amazing tasty, hearty, and served on the rooftop of a nearby hotel with a stunning city view.
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.
We stayed on the 2nd floor in a room. The mattress was very comfortable, the bathroom spotless, the shower great, and the air conditioning worked perfectly.
We truly felt happy and comfortable here. If you’re looking for a hotel in Istanbul — don’t hesitate, this is the one!
- Bevin (9/5): Yes. Book now. - Second time I have stayed here so that says something about the property. The manager was a great fellow, very friendly. So close to all the big attractions of Sultanahmet, a million restaurants, and tram. Quaint little rooms that are clean and quiet, and our room had a view of the Ayia Sophia. Breakfast is at a nearby sister hotel and is one of the best spreads I have seen. Would I stay here again ? You bet ! There is nothing not to like about this hotel.
- David (10/5): Exceptional - Great host, clean room, perfekt location, amazing breakfast
- Nijole (10/5): Good - Good Nothing
- Bas (10/5): Great location & breakfast, fabulous staff! Recommended! - The location of the hotel was perfect, within only a few minutes walking distance to the cities major sightseeing spots. The breakfast is served in a nearby hotel (20 meters), with a fabulous rooftop terrace. The breakfast was a healthy mix between western and local cuisine. The hotel room was clean and modern, actually looked a lot better than on the pictures. The hotel is relatively small (only 9 rooms) and the building has an escalator (4 floors).
The staff at this hotel is just great. Very welcoming, always in for a nice talk and provided great dining and sightseeing tips. Also cleaning service is super fast, mostly done during the time you are getting breakfast. Nothing, all was perfect!
- Fareez (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maulidia (10/5): Great value for money - Very close to main attraction areas. The staffs were very helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable. Great value for money. View from my room was basically walls of other buildings (?), but I only stayed for a night so I did not miss much. Curtains could be made wider as they were barely covering the windows.
- Yuliia (8/5): Very good - A dinner bed, a good hotel location. Price-kacheswa ratios. Anyway, despite the shortcomings, I was satisfied and I would return to this hotel again.
Breakfast at the hotel against, on the roof overlooking Istanbul. Construction outside the window until midnight and from 5 a.m. Very loud. Other people's hair on the floor, a dirty refrigerator, and dirty spoons.
- Biljana (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast was a bit small, could have more varieties.
- Alsina (10/5): Stayed here with my friend from April 1 to 7. We originally booked a room with one bed, but the person at the reception -
- Ionel (10/5): Exceptional - Location
Breakfast
- Jim (9/5): Great location close to Hagia Sophia. - The free breakfast that was provided was fabulous.
- Dean (10/5): Clean comfortable and safe small hotel in a great location. Fantastic breakfast and lovely staff. - Our stay was cut short as my wife broke her arm. Our short stay was fantastic. The hotel is small but clean, comfortable and cute. The staff are so friendly and the breakfast served at a nearby hotel was fantastic. TV was difficult to control.
- Gabriella (8/5): Great location all things considered! - Location location location! It’s in the epicenter of old town, right next to all the major sites. The bathroom floors were heated! Such a nice touch given we had a cold front in March! The rooms are serviced daily which was great. Breakfast is served in another hotel on their rooftop terrace which has a magnificent view. We enjoyed that. The breakfast itself was just okay, but the view: wow! The property is small, the rooms are small, barely any space for opening bags and walking around the bed. There is construction going on next to the property, so the owner had us stay at another much smaller and not as comfortable hotel 2 doors down because of this- he said. The next day he moved us to our room. The following night the construction trucks were on full blast until 1 am. I mean, not the property’s fault but our sleep was affected that night. This happened in March 2025. This noise seems sporadic. No noise the night before… 🤷🏻♀️
The rooms were as described and other than this we truly enjoyed the fantastic location of this little hotel. It has an elevator so once inside there are no stairs; but there are 3 large steps down to the small reception area. The owner (?) was fantastic. Always on site and always helpful. Many thanks to him!
- Margriet (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent small hotel
- Zhekun (10/5): Exceptional - 一切都很好,网速也很快

- Amanda (9/5): A Hidden Gem in Istanbul's Historic Heart - Merial Hotel Sultanahmet, Istanbul - 4.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐½
A Hidden Gem in Istanbul's Historic Heart
This charming boutique hotel in Sultanahmet perfectly captures the essence of old Istanbul. The Merial Hotel may be small in size, but it more than makes up for it with its warm hospitality and character.
Location: Perfectly positioned in the heart of the old town, making it an ideal base for exploring Istanbul's major attractions on foot.
Rooms: While compact, the rooms are impeccably clean and thoughtfully decorated, contributing to the hotel's authentic atmosphere.
Breakfast: Though served at their sister property a minute's walk away, this slight inconvenience is transformed into a highlight thanks to the stunning rooftop terrace views of Istanbul. The breakfast itself is a delightful start to the day.
Service: The elderly owner deserves special mention - his genuine warmth and hospitality embody the best of Turkish hospitality. The staff's accommodating nature makes guests feel truly welcomed.
Perfect for travelers who appreciate intimate, character-filled accommodations over large chain hotels, and who want to experience authentic Turkish hospitality while staying in the historic heart of Istanbul.
Tip: Request a room in the upper floors if possible, and don't miss breakfast on the rooftop terrace.
- Miny (9/5): Great central location - Best location in city, close to all the attractions and public transport.
Breakfast was great with best views of Istanbul. Rooms are quiet old, so the wall paint was cracking, they definitely need a little renovation, but for the price it was good.
- Nora (9/5): Superb - Very friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast is great and the location is amazing. Great value!
- Muhammad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Antoine (6/5): Pleasant - quiet and nice they did not have the room we booked
- Kwiatkowska (10/5): Exceptional - Cozy rooms, excellent breakfasts and smiling service.
