My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and in a good location, but they were noisy at most hours of the day and night. The service was amazing and very friendly, especially in assisting with HES codes. The location was fantastic, close to major attractions. The dining experience was correct, and the rooftop area offered a picturesque view. Overall, a decent place with some drawbacks.

The hotel is located in a quiet street in Sultanahmet, within walking distance of major attractions like Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Blue Mosque. The rooms are small but perfectly suited for a city break, and the service is extremely accommodating. However, there is some noise from the road that can be heard.

I can't help but rave about the amazing location of this hotel; it's within walking distance of all the major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The rooms are well-prepared before check-in, but I have to admit they can be a bit small for three people. Despite this minor setback, the service was exceptional, from the daily cleaning to the helpful staff who even assisted me with rearranging my flight. The dining experience, though, was a highlight on the top floor of a neighboring hotel, serving up delicious homemade pastries with a stunning view of the Bosphorus. The facilities were top-notch, and the hotel's close proximity to everything makes it worth every penny.

The hotel's location is superb, with proximity to essential attractions, making it convenient and budget-friendly. The rooms, although slightly small for three beds, are impeccably clean and situated conveniently on the street side. The service, especially from Mrs Kiraz, the owner, was exceptionally accommodating and benevolent. The dining experience was a treat at a nearby hotel, offering a delicious variety of Turkish and continental options. However, the absence of dining directly at Merial was a small inconvenience.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated with a gentle touch of Turkish culture in the accessories. Despite facing the street, the rooms were spacious enough for two or three people. The service was exceptional, especially dealing with Serkan, who went above and beyond by arranging a car for us from the airport. The multilingual staff were kind and helpful, making our interactions delightful. The location was perfect, situated in the old part of the city, close to all the main attractions like Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Blue Mosque. The panoramic view of the Sultanahmet area was breathtaking. The dining experience in the hotel's rooftop restaurant offered a wonderful landscape of the Bosphorus, creating a memorable meal. Overall, a great value for money with excellent amenities.
