Front desk staff were very helpful and tried their best to tend to all needs. Mehmet was a great help providing information and helping with check in and out. Cleaning staff need to be quieter as they start very early in the morning. We woke up around 7:00 am every morning because of the noise they were making and talking loudly considering that hallways were in marble and wood which make noises more vivid and transferable

Very classic, well managed, good location hotel
Very classic, well managed, good location hotel. Their roof-top restaurant for the breakfast is one of the bests. The only shortcoming is a small room but enough for couples. Highly recommend.

Overnight stay in Meroddi Barnathan
My wife and I had an overnight stay at Meroddi on the way back from another trip. The hotel gave us a free upgrade to a Suite with amazing views of Galata and Istanbul. The staff were always very friendly and hardworking. We had a memorable stay and I would recommend this hotel if you want to be in the middle of the Istanbul action!

Great Hotel
The hotel had a great location, pop out the door and your in the middle of a busy shopping, and food district. The rooftop bar/restaurant had a great feel and picture perfect views. The food was great and reasonably priced. The wine was expensive US $12 glass but $75 for two with drinks is reasonable. The service was great. The room was clean and beautiful, had real style. The staff was always helpful and courteous. Would defiantly stay there again.

No bad for what you paid
Hotel is old but restore is in a great location, you can walk to everywhere from there, the service at the property restaurants is really slow and bad i will no recommend to eat there there is many more restaurants around, and forget to use the elevator, is very small and in the evening the blocked for the terrace use , try to stay in 1st floor, the view in the terrace is a plus to see sunsets.

istanbul stay
were suprised how hilly the location was. If we had known we might have chosen another location. the small street was extremely busy with tourists, locals, cars and scooters which made it extremely noisy. earplugs were supplied by hotel, however triple glazing would be better. on the plus side the hotel has great views from breakfast terrace to the bosphorus and sultanhamet side of istanbul. hotel room was large ,spacious and cleaned thoroughly every day. food was good. 20% discount on food and drinks made it very competitive with other restaurants in area and in some cases cheaper.

First thing to get out of the way - do not believe the quoted room sizes! We booked a "Deluxe Room with Sea View - 291 sq ft" and were given one that was 12ft x 10 ft (so 120 sq ft?) including the bijou bathroom! There was barely enough space to squeeze around the "Queen Size bed" - which in this case meant 'small double' - 6ft long so my feet hung over the end. It was so small we resented the space taken by the tiny 18 inch wide wardrobe. We queried this with reception but were told that we had the room we booked. So if you are considering this hotel go for the Deluxe Kingsize (and expect a standard roomsize so you won't be disappointed). Also ignore the "sound proofed rooms" feature - unless that refers to the earplugs that they give you on arrival? We were on the 4th floor directly below the restaurant so there was a bit of noise from there as well of course from the morning call to prayer (unavoidable in central Istanbul). Apart from this the hotel was great (seriously we enjoyed it!). Breakfast on the roof was gorgeous: for both the views and the food. The service was excellent: all the staff were so friendly and helpful. Everything was spotlessly clean and good quality. The location was perfect - in the heart of Galata (the tower is 100m away) with fabulous bars and restaurants in easy walking distance - though the walk down the hill to the Galata bridge is steep but downhill and it's even steeper coming back! I would recomend this hotel but do book a kingsize room!

IF YOU ARE A FOREIGN TRAVELER, DO NOT BOOK HERE!!! IT IS A SCAM!!! I am from the USA and vacationed in Greece. I used Turkish Air and had a 15 hour layover in Istanbul, so I decided to do a layover tour of Istanbul to see the Hagia Sophia, etc. I chose this hotel for 3 reasons - 1) It was located by the Galata Tower that I also wanted to visit, 2) Because my flight would get into Istanbul at 11:30pm and I wanted to ensure there would be no problems with check-in at such a late hour, 3) They had lots of amazing reviews. Unfortunately when I arrived, the front desk initially told me that they did not have a reservation. After talking with Expedia's customer service, they found my reservation. What had happened is that the hotel was fully booked. And even though I had made my reservation months in advance, the hotel gave away my reserved room and transferred my reservation to one of their other properties that they owned. According to the hotel, my new room was an "upgrade". I had paid extra to booked a nicer room (one with a guaranteed sea side view), but the room I received looked like I was staying at a hostel. You can see for yourself, the property they placed me in is the Meroddi Pera Flat. The hotel even had the audacity to charge me the full booking price! And I could do nothing about it because otherwise I would have no place to stay that night in Istanbul. The hotel totally took advantage that I was a foreign traveler to scam me! Do not book here!

I booked deluxe room but it was too small. There was not even enough floor space to put two medium suitcase. Bed was comfortable but could not sleep because of a lot of noise from restaurant and kitchen. Some days noise carried on until 01:00 morning. Staff are very friendly and helpful but if I could not sleep in piece, I don’t see point of booking this hotel for holiday

Beautiful hotel, great location
The hotel is fantastic, a beautiful building with a stunning rooftop view of the Galata Tower and Bosphorus water view. The incredible breakfast buffet can be eaten up there in the morning and for drinks and dinner. The area is right in the thick of the shops and restaurants, bars and a great location. We loved it. My only negative which sadly let down the amazing team at this hotel was the rooftop restaurant staff service for dinner. We booked for a special occasion dinner and they wouldn’t let us book an actual table as we were told first come first served. When we arrived we were seated at a less than desirable table and I asked to move to a table with a view when one became available. When one did I asked if we could move there and they said no, the table was reserved, and promptly moved a couple who’d just arrived, to the better table. There were many people up there just there for the view, one drink and no food. Some sat for more than an hour after finishing their drink which is poor table management. Priority should be for guests and for those dining. They need to allocate times for tables when busy. It just got worse after this as no one served us and we had to go up to get a menu and then to order our drink and then again to remind them when the order never came. This happened throughout the whole meal and ruined our special night. Worst service we have ever had anywhere. Great hotel though, loved it.

The property is situated on the edge of few main attractions. You can visit Istiklal street, Taskin Square, Galata tower within few mins walk and if you want to walk to Blue mosque, aya sophia, spice bazar, Galata bride, Eminonu you can reach there within 35 mins walk. Hotel staff from reception to kitchen staff all were very cooperative and friendly. Breakfast on the hotel top roof is mind blowing, you can see the whole Istanbul from the hotel top while having your breakfast. In short, it’s worth to stay at this hotel and I strongly recommend this hotel to every one who is interested to stay close to the main attractions.

Good location, close to Galata, ferries and the shops of Taksim. Wonderful terrace and great food, although breakfast not great with coffee poor and wait for hot food. Very friendly staff. We were on floor 4, the noise of tables and chairs being cleared last thing at night and 7-7.45 in the morning was drastic!!

I would like to know who will refund me for the room charges. The room that I got was not the one that I paid for. It barely had enough room for me to walk around. Extremely small, NOT WHAT I PAID FOR. I would like for someone to reach how to me because I have asked to speak to someone like a supervisor in the past but was unable to. If I don’t hear from someone it was the last time I used Expedia.
