I recently stayed at Merodi La Porta in Istanbul’s Galata neighborhood with my cousin, and we had such a wonderful experience. The location was one of the best parts of our stay — the hotel is very close to the Galata Tower and within walking distance to so many of the places we wanted to visit, explore, and eat around Istanbul. It made getting around the city really easy and enjoyable.

We also felt very safe throughout our stay, which was important to us as travelers. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always helpful whenever we needed anything.

Another highlight was the breakfast that was included with our stay. It was absolutely delicious with a great variety of fresh options every morning — honestly one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve had.

Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend Merodi La Porta to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located stay in the Galata area.

Diabetes, the staff was very friendly and professional, and very accommodating and helpful. The room was clean. The restaurant was a great. And it was walkable distance to a lot of restaurants stuck a lot of tower even going across the phosphorus to the bazaars and mosques. It was such a great time and their communication was amazing.

A perfect location in my fav city, just a few metres off the galata drag so it's still quiet snd calm, while being in the middle of the action.
The breakfast is abundant, healthy, with a fantastic view. The staff here really go above and beyond to accommodate and be helpful. Some of the most genuine and kind people I have ever met. I recommend the airport transfer, about 10 euro more than a regular taxi, but worth at least upon arrival for a smoother experience.

Check-in was terrible. When we arrived, they said there was “a problem with our room” and we were instructed to go to another property, and then another property. We booked with our friends and they did nothing to try to accommodate us. The room was OK. The breakfast location was great, but it was not on the property we were staying at.

Review is more about Meroddi in general.
On arrival at La Porta, after midnight, we were told we weren't staying there but had been moved to another Meroddi property close by. The upgrade to a 2 bedroom was appreciated.
Streets are cobblestone and taxis aren't always able to take you to the door. Our property had no lift, so be prepared to lug luggage up narrow often spiral stair cases.
Breakfast was great (although in another location).
Location is walking distance to Galata Tower, trams, food and shopping.

Our room was spacious and clean. The hotel is around the block from the Tower, which is nice and quiet. The tower area is vibrant and fun to be at night. A lot of restaurants, cafes and shops. We felt safe in the area. To get to the hotel we had be dropped off at the tower and walk to the hotel. It’s down an ally, the ally was dark and not clean, so it felt sketchy. At the end we liked being off the main road.

Ideal location for young people/couples to stay. The city was busy, the views around were good plus good restaurant options - walkable distance from tram to get to anywhere you’d want to go in Istanbul.

The staff was super friendly, especially Sevgi from guest relations was super helpful and catering. Greeted me and my partner with amazing decor and postcards with complimentary refreshments.

Highly recommended!

Hello, I like this property because was close to Galatta Tower, my favorite place in Istambul. I like the shopping and dinning. It is wonderful. The hotel inside is quiet and safe. Breakfast very good. Staff at the reception was the best, they do the best to make you comfortable. Maintenance staff was very nice and same staff at breakfast time. I will reserve this place again if I travel. I did not like outside because street was not clean. Thank you so much Meroddi La Portal. Maria Egoavil

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.

Excellent stay at Meroddi La Porta

Superb stay at Meroddi La Porta. It is a great value given the wonderful service from the staff, who really looked after us (thank you Umil and Cagatay!), the incredible proximity to Galata Tower (literally around the corner), and the comfortable (small) rooms and wonderful and scenic breakfast. We wanted to stay very close to the tower and not spend too much and are very happy to had found this hotel and would recommend it highly. This neighborhood has a lot of cobblestones and hills and requires normal walking ability. The street itself is small and a bit alley-like, but the location around the corner from Galata square makes it a superb value.

Comfortable option in Beyoglu

Modern, comfortable and clean hotel located just a few hundred meters from Galata Tower (the street it is on is not very charming, but the area is!).
Breakfast buffet is offered on the terrace: nice views, but a little chilly in the cold months.

I didn't need to have much interaction with the staff, but they seemed friendly. However, when I asked about the closest airport bus stop and how to reach the hotel from it, they answered that they could arrange a private transfer for me. Not what I asked!!
Other than that, I had a pleasent stay.

部屋は半地下二階でしたが、湿気もなく、清潔でした。
スタッフは気さくで親切でした。
朝食は彩りキレイで種類も多く味もまずまず。ビュッフェの飾り付けをシェフが毎日写真に撮っているので相当なこだわりがあるのでしょう。
この宿泊料金で、本当にこの長所が込みなのか心配になりましたが大丈夫でした。ダイニングは5階で、夜は開放されているので夜景がきれいです。
新市街のガラタ塔至近なので周辺の雰囲気、利便性も最高です。1本だけ奥にはいるので前は寂しいですが、安全性は問題ありません。

Unterkunft in einer Nebenstraße zum Galata-Turm. Während die Hauptstraße abends brechend voll wird, bleibt diese zum Glück recht leer. Vor dem Hotel sind jedoch oft Lieferwägen und Einheimische bis spät in die Nacht. Ein paar Meter weiter befinden sich zahlreiche Mülltonnen, die wohl zu den vielen Restaurants gehören. Da kommt zwischen 5 und 6 Uhr morgens die Müllabfuhr und sammelt den Müll ein. Da wir das Zimmer zur Straße hatten und ein Fenster nicht ganz dicht war, haben wir alles Recht laut gehört. Auch die Türen und Wände sind recht hellhörig.

Das Zimmer war super. 2 Flaschen Wasser, Tee und Instant Kaffe waren vorhanden.

Highlight dieses Hotels ist meiner Meinung nach das Frühstück im obersten Stock. Mit hervorragendem Ausblick und einer guten Auswahl an Speisen.

Das Personal war immer super nett.

Insgesamt definitiv zu empfehlen.

Bizi uygulamadan tuttuğumuz oda yerine yine aynı firmanın farklı bir otelinde ki odaya (Bağdatliyan'a) yönlendirdiler. Bizim tuttuğumuz odadan daha eski ve bakımsız odada kalmak zorunda kaldık. Farklı binadaki odayı bizim için ayarladiklarini söyleyerek elimizde valizle 3 bina dolaşmaktık. Binalar hep yokuşta olduğu için baya rezillikti. Oda çok karanlık ve boğucuydu. Kahvaltısı idare ederdi.

Nos cobraron aproximadamente 100 euros la gracia de la carrera lo único bueno del hotel es la ubicación. De resto nada que ver con las fotos está muy deteriorado
