I had a wonderful experience staying at the Meroddi Bagdatliyan Hotel. The location was perfect, situated in a quiet alley near Galata Tower, allowing me easy access to major attractions while enjoying peaceful nights. The staff were friendly, making my stay even more enjoyable. I would, however, have appreciated a bit more variety in the breakfast options, but overall, it was a great choice for a budget-friendly stay.

Staying at Meroddi Bagdatliyan was generally a good experience, with friendly staff and a great location near Istiklal Street. However, the rooms were quite small and sometimes noisy due to nearby renovations, which affected my comfort. Breakfast was decent but could get crowded. Overall, it's a good option for budget-conscious travelers. 🌟

Rooms

The room I stayed in was indeed small, but nicely decorated. I found it a bit cramped, especially with two suitcases. The soundproofing could be better as I could hear noises from the neighboring rooms.

The amenities were basic but adequate. There were no mini-bars or room service, which was a bit disappointing. I did appreciate the hairdryer and the essentials like shampoo and soap.

My stay at Meroddi Bagdatliyan Hotel was a mix of positive experiences and challenges. The location was great, just minutes away from Galata Tower, which made exploring the city easy. However, I encountered issues with staff communication and the readiness of my room upon check-in, which left me frustrated. Overall, while the hotel had lovely features, some service aspects need improvement.

The room I finally stayed in was nicely appointed, offering comfort and a pleasant atmosphere. However, the bed was a bit small for my taste, and I did hear some noise from the corridor.

The service overall was a mixed bag. On one hand, some staff were friendly and eager to help, like Erkan, making me feel welcomed. But the lack of communication about my room and shuttle service had me feeling quite frustrated.

My stay at Meroddi Bagdatliyan Hotel was quite mixed. The location is fantastic, nestled in a vibrant area near Galata Tower, but the rooms were disappointingly small and not well-maintained. The staff was friendly, which added to the overall experience, but I encountered several inconveniences that detracted from my comfort.

Rooms

5.0

The room was very small at only 11m2, making it challenging to navigate with luggage. While it was nicely decorated, the amenities were lacking, such as an ineffective fridge and poor water pressure. The noise from neighboring renovations was disruptive, and cleanliness could use improvement.

Service

Staff were generally friendly and attentive, showing a willingness to help. However, there were moments when communication faltered, especially regarding room issues. I also experienced some frustration with security practices concerning room keys.

The hotel's location in the lively Galata district is one of its best features. Everything was easily accessible within a few minutes' walk, and it offered a charming atmosphere filled with local shops and restaurants.

Dining

Breakfast was simple and adequate, but it could be improved. The buffet did not have many warm dishes, and the quality was below expectations. It was just enough to start the day but not much more.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel offered basic facilities such as housekeeping but lacked attention to detail, like maintenance of shower equipment. There were also no additional services like room service or laundry that one might expect.

I had a pretty great experience at Meroddi Bagdatliyan Hotel. The location was awesome, just a short walk to Galata Tower and Istiklal Street. The breakfast was good, and the staff were super friendly. However, I faced some issues like being moved to another location last minute and some minor problems with my room’s AC. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone wanting to stay near the city's heart.

Rooms

I was upgraded to a different building which was frustrating, but the room was clean and spacious once I got settled. However, the view from the window wasn’t the best, facing a closed well yard, and the AC wasn't working properly at first.
