The Meretto Hotel Istanbul Old City in Istanbul

Hotel assigned an awful room M1 for me the 1st night, which was dirty, smell, door lock not working, noisy etc…. Luckily give me the next room for the rest of the journey

I loved my stay. The service is outstanding, everyone is very welcoming. The restaurant is impeccable with a wide variety of choices. Special thanks to Mouhamed, a real 10 for his kindness and linguistic versatility.

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.

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.

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.

The hotel’s in a great spot, right by the tram and bus, just two stops from the Grand Bazaar. The rooms are clean, and there’s a good variety at breakfast. The owner, Orhan, is super friendly. He gives great tips on places to visit and always makes sure you're comfortable. We asked for some comfier pillows, and he brought them to our room right away. He even treated us to Turkish coffee twice and checked in after we left to see if we made it home okay. We’ll definitely be coming back!
