Meroddi Barnathan Hotel

The hotel was just magical. We had breakfast on the rooftop every morning and always made sure we had a drink there before leaving in the evening!

Great for those who like antique hotels. The building is historic and elegant. Rooftop restaurant offers great meals and the best view. There’s live music twice a week in the garden restaurant. Great vibe, friendly front seat staff. Wonderful. I will definitely stay there again.

The location is perfect for sightseeing. Close to metro. The rooftop restaurant is amazing for sunset. Fluffy towels and friendly staff.

I would stay at this hotel again. I had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, making the stay even more enjoyable. The location is excellent, situated in a very central area that's convenient for exploring the city. One of the highlights was the rooftop. The views are absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay.

Otel konum itibariyle çok güzeldi, bina mimari tarzı ,oda tarzı olarakta gayet güzeldi. Tek problem oda küçük olduğu için yatak ebatı da çok küçüktü bu nedenle gece ayaklarımız dışarda kaldı ancak rahat ve temizdi . Otelin otoparkının olmaması dezavantaj

Otel oldukça temizdi. Odamızdaki musluk damlıyordu, epeyce zor kapattım. Otel ara sokakta olduğu için camlardan manzara sınırlıydı. Ama terasın manzarası harikaydı, Galata kulesi, Haliç, Köprü her yer çok güzel görünüyordu. kahvaltı lezzetli ve yeterliydi. Otopark yürüyerek iki dakika mesafedeydi, gecelik 90 TL ücreti vardı (semt için makul). Genel olarak güzel bir konaklamaydı, personel ilgiliydi.

Terrazza spettacolare, colazione super, boutique hotel accogliente e curato in ogni dettaglio... camera al 4 piano con vista torre... tutto perfetto, posizione comoda x visitare la citta a piedi..

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.

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.

Kahvaltı enfes, çalışanlar çok ilgili ancak tarihi yapı konforsuz, gece boyu sokak gürültüsü var. Otopark fiyatları çok yüksek (günlük 850tl)

Tertemizdi

Oda temizdi Personel yakın ve samimiydi sadece biraz bilgi alımında yeni personel olmasından kaynaklı olabilir eksiklik vardı ama onun dışında çok memnun ayrıldık konaklamamızdan

Otelde restorasyon sürüyor, oda boya kokuyor, banyoya yeni silikom çekilmiş çok havasız. Sabah 9:30 da yan odamozdan gelen matkap sesiyle uyandık. Asansörde ve kahvaltı alanında hala işçiler çalışıyor

The hotel was a mixed bag. Half of the first floor of rooms where the elevator is under construction. Dust everywhere (that was our floor. Work and some noise even during weekends. Windows not really

tertemiz ve çok iyidi

Konum Harika ve Odalar tertemiz. Kahvaltı personelinin ilgisi için teşekkürler.

This is a very charming and cozy Ottoman era historic hotel, with beautiful hand painted designs on the room walls. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure in the shower. It's very clean. The staff were all fantastic - friendly and efficient. The front desk staff went out of their way to be helpful and they speak perfect English. The daily hot and cold breakfast buffet was scrumptious! All kinds of fresh baked breads and pastries, fresh and dried fruits, salads, cheeses, yogurts, olives, jams, nutella, eggs, sausages and more. The waiters are very attentive and the hotel plays beautiful background music in the lobby - bossanova and classic soft jazz from the 1940s or 50s, giving you a feeling of stepping back in time. The hotel is located in a central location, 5-minutes' walk to the Galeta bridge and 1 minute to the Galeta water tower. It's close to public transportation and walkable to most historical sites, (Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, Grand Bazar, Ottoman palaces, cruise boats on the Bosphoros, and more. There are cute cafes, restaurants and shops all around the hotel. As a woman, I felt very safe walking alone in this neighborhood, even at night. There are lots of people around and the shops are open late, so it has a bustling feeling. I will definitely stay there the next time I go to Istanbul.

Καθαρό δωμάτιο,πολύ καλή τοποθεσία,ευγενικό προσωπικό και εξυπηρετικοί όλοι τους.

Room 147 4th floor is very loud during breakfast and dinner. Due to being on the top floor and dining area above the room. When chairs are moved around you’ll hear everything down in the room. It gets pretty annoying if your trying to get some sleep during breakfast time which is 8am-11am.

The standard rooms are very small, barely any space to move around for 1 person. The terrasse has a perfect view of Galata Tower. However the workers on the terrasse have an attitude and one worker started talking to me very rudely in front of all guests asking me my room number and raising his voice, when he had already taken my number when I got to the breakfast area a couple of minutes ago, it was embarrassing, they think I will try to steal breakfast from them? We were staying for our honeymoon, none of the staff mentioned us anything even though I had left a message about it. The breakfast spread was also very poor, seems like there is a lot of things going on but no taste and the service is slow for beverages. We had to ask 4 times before getting our glass of juice and by the time we got served we were done with the breakfast. You will definitely be wakened up by the morning prayer call, no sound isolation. If you are looking to stay close to Galata Tower with a nice view terrasse, this is the hotel. The front desk staff were okay, nothing special. Some of the staff from breakfast ruined our stay with their attitude and their behaviour, because of that, I will stay somewhere else next time.

Great location but small rooms.

Kahvaltı taze temiz ve çeşitlilik açısından güzeldi oda temiz calışanlar kibar ve ilgiliydi sadece odalar biraz küçük ve banyo dışında bir yerde de makyaj için ayna olsaydı guzel olabilirdi onun dışında manzara konum harika zaten

We stayed for 4 nights. The hotel is an old building, with loud noises coming from outside and inside. We stayed on the 4th floor and the floor above us was the rooftop breakfast area. Every morning, a lot of noise interrupted our sleep coming from the kitchen and seating areas. The room heating didn’t work and the family had 2 terrible nights. The staff onsite is inexperienced and completely clueless how to help the guests. The breakfast is good. The rooftop views are excellent while enjoying the breakfast. Overall, the value for money is terrible- look for better options to stay. This hotel is everything but luxury. Frankly, it spoiled our vacation in Istanbul, which otherwise was perfect.

Rooms are so old, No teeth washs in the shower, the safe locker not fixed, lighting is bad, not all of the switchs lighting work , then we wait from 10 untill 2 pm to make check in

Die Zimmer sind zu klein,man kann sich kaum bewegen. Und extrem laut es hellhörig man hört alles husten von nebenan, Toilettenspülung, draußen ist es dauerhaft laut und die Betten Übels hart. Für den Preis was wir bezahlt haben haben wir schon viel mehr erwartet.

This hotel have a very very small rooms The location is very good and everything is near by But we made our stay enjoyable with staffL Ibharim and others at the front desk who were very pleasant and very friendly and polite Breakfast was good and the supervisor I think her name was Sophie was very nice All the breakfast staff were very nice to us The stay was very pleasant and we had fun Lots of things need to be improved

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!

The stuff were not professional and trained .

The hotel was well located for the type of trip taken. Everything about the hotel was very good, with the exception of the excellent service. All hotel employees encountered were friendly and professional. Of particular note was the outstanding services provided by the front desk staff Some of the best service I've ever experienced at a hotel.

Great location next to the Galata Tower and loads of shops and eateries. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Nice place and views, right next to the Galata tower. Be prepared to climb a lot since the hotel is on a hill. Some of the rooms are very small. Would have rated higher but the hotel over booked and moved us to their sister hotel for one of the 2 days.

Nuestra experiencia en el Meroddi Barnathan Hotel fue muy decepcionante. Antes de nuestra llegada me había puesto en contacto con el hotel para asegurarme de que la habitación reservada era una Suite Superior con vistas a la ciudad. Me lo confirmaron por correo electrónico. Sin embargo, al llegar nos asignaron una habitación en la segunda planta, sin vistas. Al reclamar, la recepción respondió de forma poco amable diciendo que “era una suite igualmente” y que “no se puede contentar a todo el mundo”. No se trata de hacerme feliz, sino de cumplir con lo contratado. Además, el hotel ofrece transfers al aeropuerto por 40 €, y eso fue exactamente lo que solicitamos en recepción. En lugar de gestionarlo, nos dijeron que un taxi costaba unos 45 € en efectivo o unos 49 € con tarjeta, y acto seguido afirmaron que el pago con tarjeta “no funcionaba”, proponiendo llamar a “un amigo” que esperara mientras íbamos a sacar dinero. Tuvimos que salir a la calle y pedir nosotros mismos un taxi, pagando con tarjeta sin ningún problema, lo que demuestra que la información facilitada por el hotel no era cierta ni profesional. Para rematar, al llegar al aeropuerto nos dimos cuenta de que habíamos olvidado una tarjeta de crédito en la habitación. Llamamos de inmediato; nos dijeron que lo comprobarían y que nos devolverían la llamada en diez minutos. Tres horas después, al volver a llamar, se limitaron a afirmar que “no había nada”. Estamos seguros que la dejamos sobre la mesita. Un Trato pesimo!

The standard rooms are very small, barely any space to move around for 1 person. The terrasse has a perfect view of Galata Tower. However the workers on the terrasse have an attitude and one worker started talking to me very rudely in front of all guests asking me my room number and raising his voice, when he had already taken my number when I got to the breakfast area a couple of minutes ago, it was embarrassing, they think I will try to steal breakfast from them?

Mr Omer and Mr Senol are absolutely fantastic. I really like this hotel and their exceptional staff and service.

If you’re thinking about staying at this hotel don’t think twice . Ibrahim the front desk clerk was accommodating and went out of his way to make our stay that much more enjoyable. The staff , food and view and location was 5 star !

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!

Excellent room, delicious free breakfast and the customer service provided by the front desk staff was exemplary.

Great location next to the Galata Tower and loads of shops and eateries. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

リノベーションしているフロアの部屋だったので、エレベーターを降りた時、目の前が工事中だったのでびっくり、ただ部屋そのものは静かでよかった。丘の上にホテルがあるため、坂の上り下りが少し大変。朝食はテラスでガラタ塔を眺めながら食べることができ景色が最高。ただ朝食は8時からで主要な観光場所がオープンする９時前に着こうとするとゆっくり朝食を味わえなかったのが残念。

Está ubicada estratégicamente en uno de lls puntos más atractivos de Estambul. Es fácil moverse desde ahí caminando a las estaciones de transporte público.

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.

We absolutely loved the location by Galata Tower. Our cozy room had and amazing view of the tower and was exactly what we needed for this only one nigjt stay in Istanbul . We managed to take hammam recomended by the front desk manager Ibrahim. He was very friendly, professional and helpful. Highly recommend this place :)

Otel konum olarak çok güzel yerde çalışanlar güleryüzlü ve terası müthiş Galata’nın dibinde

Great location

Beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. The staff was friendly and helpful. The view from both the Sea View suite and the rooftop restaurant were incredible. Would absolutely stay again.

Good location

Odalar temiz ve guzel ancak, eskisi gibi otel musterileri kahvaltiyi terasta alamiyor, manzarası olan bi yerde manzaraya karsi kahvalti edememek eksi, daha onceki konaklamama gore kahvalti cesitleri de azaltilmis, onceki konaklamamda kahvalti olaganustuydu su an normal seviyede

Staff was kind. Breakfast was great! So many walkable store fronts and close to Galata Tower!

Beautiful, elegant hotel, full of charm and you just can’t beat the location. A few minutes walk to Istaklal street, in one direction and to the Pier and tram (to get to mosques and bazaar) in opposite direction. Our room was beautifully decorated, spacious, with a beautiful bathroom but the room was lacking light with only two of the three lamps available working. There is no full length mirror in the room but staff kindly delivered one to our room upon request. Breakfast was located on the 5th floor which included outdoor terrace. The view from the terrace is just amazing! The breakfast buffet was generous and while most staff were friendly the woman behind the bar, with long black hair was extremely rude every single day!

The standard rooms are very small, barely any space to move around for 1 person. The terrasse has a perfect view of Galata Tower. However the workers on the terrasse have an attitude and one worker started talking to me very rudely in front of all guests asking me my room number and raising his voice, when he had already taken my number when I got to the breakfast area a couple of minutes ago, it was embarrassing, they think I will try to steal breakfast from them?

Mükemmel kahvaltı çeşitliği ve kaliteli ürünleri güleryüzlü ve yardımsever personellerle konumu mükemmel olan bir otel

Breakfast on the rooftop was great

El edificio es bellísimo, con el encanto de tiempos antiguos. El jardín además de elegante es acogedor y tiene una vista privilegiada de la torre Galata. La terraza debe ser una de las mejores vistas en Estambul! El desayuno, el más completo que conocí en Turquía . Deja algo que desear la atención de los meseros. Y la primera noche no tuve agua caliente y la repuesta de recepción fue decepcionante. Fuera de esas dos cosas el Hotel es Maravilloso

Excellent location very friendly helpful staff superb breakfast

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.

Замечательный отель возле Галатской башни. Всё основные достопримечательности в шаговой доступности. Очень вкусные и разнообразные завтраки! Сыры, колбасы, овощи, фрукты, омлет, мюсли, сухофрукты, йогурты, варенья сортов 5, не меньше! Вкусный чай и эспрессо нам тоже понравился. Спасибо большое персоналу за прекрасный отдых!
