Meroddi la Porta Hotel

We had an awesome stay in this hotel. Thanks to Reha in the front desk who went above and beyond in customer service in our 3 night stay. On our last day, he helped me and my wife dragged our luggage to the end of the street because the taxi cannot enter the street at that time. Breakfast is delicious and the view from the restaurant at the 5th floor is beautiful.

Meroddi la porta attracted me with the price, the location, and the recent renovations, and we were wowed by our experience there. If you can, ask for a 4th floor room with a balcony. You will be away from the street noise and will have a view over the old city. The location is perfect, as you can walk or take a tram easily to most tourist places, and take the metro to the airport, and also have access to the better food and nightlife of the Galata / Taksim/ Karikoy neighborhoods. The food and view from breakfast is amazing, as well. Others have commented on the less than desirable immediate garbage collection point in the alley in front of the hotel, but we never felt unsafe. Tbe desk people and kitchen staff were always friendly and helpful as well. 110% recommend!

The staff was very friendly and helped us with words in Turkish! Ali at the front desk was very helpful and nice. The location was fantastic with a corner store on the corner, Galata Tower 2 min away and tons of restaurants/transportation options. The only thing is it gets noisy around midnight, when garbage gets collected in the street below.

Came in from the UK for business. I absolutely love the fluffy pillows! The bed is amazing. The curtains keep the sunlight out for when you want to stay in bed in the daytime. I stayed in the studio and it's really clean. Very friendly and helpful staff and manager. I highly recommend please.

Nice hotel for a short break right by the Galata tower. Helpful staff and decent breakfast.
