Merial Hotel

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

Everything great.

Cozy and conveniently located N/a

Everything was nice. Great location and staff, delicious breakfast. There is a construction at surrounding buildings so it may be noisy during the day.

Location Breakfast

The free breakfast that was provided was fabulous.

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.

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!

Excellent small hotel

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.

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.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast is great and the location is amazing. Great value!

Exceptional

they did not have the room we booked

Cozy rooms, excellent breakfasts and smiling service.

I would like to express my gratitude for the highest service of the hotel and separately to the staff:  waitress Nara at the hotel restaurant, Gurhan and Murat at the Merial Hotel. I flew to the Merial Hotel for the first time in winter and celebrated my birthday. In the restaurant, Nara organized a wonderful greeting, a delicious cake, and I was happy. She is always responsive and friendly, helped with the choice of dishes, organized a table by the window)) The views from the restaurant are just a bomb, you don't want to leave the terrace. The food is varied, you can change different food every day. In the summer, I returned to the Merial Hotel for the second time, everything was also super, it is worth noting the responsiveness of the Gurhan and Murat staff, and also the girl cleaning the hotel; the hospitality is on top, daily high-quality room cleaning, change of towels and gels and shampoos are always reported. The Merial Hotel is not a 3-star hotel, its value in stars is much higher in terms of service and quality. I returned to the hotel for the second time and I will definitely return again. Thanks for everything ?
