My stay at The Meretto Hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the Aksaray tram stop, making it easy to explore the city. I appreciated the clean and well-maintained room, and the breakfast options were quite varied and tasty. However, the noise from the busy street outside can be a bit bothersome at times.

I had a pleasant stay at The Meretto Hotel Istanbul Old City, with the location being absolutely perfect for exploring Istanbul's attractions like the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. The staff, particularly Orhan and Sahin, were incredibly friendly and eager to assist, which made me feel genuinely welcomed. However, I found the breakfast variety limited, as it leaned heavily towards traditional Turkish dishes, and I wished for more options. Overall, it was a good experience with a few minor drawbacks. 😊

I had a rather mixed experience at The Meretto Hotel Istanbul Old City. On one hand, the location is simply unbeatable for exploring Istanbul, making it easy to reach key attractions. However, the issues with room cleanliness and poor soundproofing really detracted from my stay. Overall, I think there are definitely better options for the price around Sultanahmet.
