Everything. It is a small hotel but it has everything you need. The rooms were clean, comfortable and very quiet. The personnel were very friendly and always ready to help us. Special thanks to Ali who was very supportive during our stay. The terrace for breakfast had beautiful views to the city and the breakfast was very good with some different choices every day. The location was good. It is one street behind the Galata Tower, the street as such was very dirty but it is so close to Galata Tower that it evens out. We feel the price was good for the hotel.

Dear Meroddi La Porta Hotel Team, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the extraordinary experience my sister and I had during our stay at your hotel in Istanbul. It truly surpassed our expectations in every way. Allow me to highlight some of the most memorable aspects of our time with you: 1. Unmatched Hospitality: Under the exemplary leadership of Sevgi, the hotel manager, the level of hospitality extended to us was beyond compare. Sevgi is a true gem whose dedication to providing exceptional customer experiences is palpable. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care left a lasting impression on us. She is a great example of a person who truly loves humans and what she does! 2. A Cut Above the Rest: Having stayed at luxury hotels like Armani, ETRO, I can confidently say that the unparalleled atmosphere created by Sevgi and her team sets your establishment apart. 3. Thoughtful Gestures: From the personalized welcome gift to the handwritten note in our room, every detail was carefully curated to ensure a memorable and welcoming experience. 4. Attentive and Intuitive Service: The entire staff at the restaurant and reception desk, demonstrated exceptional attentiveness and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Sevgi’s leadership style has a profound impact on the entire team. She has assembled a team of remarkable individuals who seem to anticipate our needs with uncanny accuracy. Their genuine care and ability to see each guest as a person, not just a visitor, made us feel truly valued. It seemed as though the restaurant staff could read our minds or had eyes in the back of their heads. Their intuitive service inspires and added an extra layer of comfort and enjoyment to our experience and memories. Big hello to the restaurant staff! 5. Charming Ambiance: Despite its not a huge size, the hotel exudes charm and elegance, offering a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city. 6.

The hotel staff Sevval is very gentle, helpful. Breakfast was tasty and rich of delishes cookies, fruits, vegetables, cheese, omlet, tasty coffee.. The room is big and comfortable. The cleaning is very very good and every day! Every day they bring 2 bottles of water.

It's not about the hotel, but the street is very very dirty, next to hotel is garbage from all area, and in the night the car come to take it off, what make so much noise.

I had a great stay near Galata tower. It was very central and lively area. The hotel and staff was great. Very kind and helpful. I enjoyed the breakfast on the roof, it was a nice view. As it was my birthday on one of the days there, they gave me a delicious chocolate cake with some nuts and sweets. It was very thoughtful! I had gotten an upgrade because of some issue in the app, it was a family room, definitely too big for me but it was well kept and cleaning staff kept it clean when I wasn't around. In general it was a great hotel and area to stay and I highly recommend it!

Only thing I didn't like would be the walk up to the are as Galata/Beyoglu area is very up hill with old roads. So public transport doesn't get there easily. But taxis were able to arrive there so it was nice.

The location is perfect, the staff is friendly, breakfast with the view on Old istanbul, rooms are very clean and confortable.

Only the street. It should be cleaner because it is the first impression of a traveler.

This hotel is super convenient, located less than a minute's walk from the Galata Tower, but what's even better is that the street it's on is really quiet and calm. The breakfast here is amazing, with a fantastic spread that caters to everyone's preferences, including freshly made local specialties like borek, gozleme, and menemen. You'll enjoy your meal on the top floor, where the breakfast room offers breathtaking views of the Golden Horn, stretching from Sultanahmet to Fener and encompassing both bridges. Our room was a good size, very clean, and well-maintained. Housekeeping serviced it daily, providing fresh towels and linens. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place!

The windows don't open, but the room is equipped with air conditioning.

La Porta is located right next to the Galata tower, and it's easy to get around Istanbul from there. Karaköy pier, tram stations, metro etc. were just a short walk away. Staff were super friendly and brought us some free snacks with a hand-written note. Breakfast was great too, it's on the top floor with a view, and there's something to eat for everyone. While it's not a luxury hotel and the rooms are quite small, I feel like it's great value for money. Good for people like us who mostly just sleep there and spend their days wandering around Istanbul.

The hotel alley is quite dirty and filled with trash. The room was hot, so we had to sleep with the window open. Some nights, there was a lot of noise coming from garbage trucks and cats fighting. Bathroom had a bad smell at times.

Great location, next to the Galata Tower! The rooms are a bit smaller than expexted but still comfortable. The rooms are being cleaned daily and the staff is so thoughtful, they even left a welcome treat in our room with a personalized message. The breakfast doesn't include a great variety but it is still enough to get you started for the day, considering the price! Thank you for the comfortable stay!

The street is right behind the Galata Tower where most of the shops leave their rubbish late at night for the rubbish truck to pick up. Well it wasn't a problem for us as the hotel is great value for money but maybe it's something you should keep in mind.

The staff was very nice. Extremely helpful and smiley, friendly as well.. Rooms are nice and well designed. From the guys in reception, to the house keeping, guest relationship, kitchen all were very nice..

It is shown as with an elevator so we booked accordingly. However there is a misinformation here that, it has two buildings in where there are hotel part and apartment type of rooms.. In apartment types (kitchen included) there is no elevator.. No balcony. So a smoker should go all the way down. . Also might be tiring at some poitn...+ For breakfast, you have to go downstairs, go out from the building, enter the other building, take the elevator and go to the fifth floor.. Apart from these (still not a big deals) it was perfectly valued for the stay and cost of it.

Blending warmth, modern comfort, and exceptional hospitality, Meroddi La Porta is truly an unforgettable stay. Istanbul is my favorite city, and no stay compares to Meroddi La Porta. Recently, I was lucky to return to this hotel for a second time in 4 months. Once again, the staff and facilities exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine hospitality and care. The location is unmatched, but what truly sets this hotel apart is its people. Every staff member—front desk, housekeeping, and breakfast team—goes above and beyond. Sevgi, who handles guest relations, is exceptional: warm, kind, and attentive. She remembered me from my last visit and made both stays truly unforgettable. The rooftop breakfast is a highlight, with breathtaking views of Galata Tower, rooftops, bridges, and the Bosphorus. My balcony room was a peaceful retreat—spotless, stylish, and beautifully maintained. The hotel blends modern finishings with warmth and comfort, from crisp white linens and fresh towels to an immaculately kept space that feels like home. Meroddi La Porta is a rare gem. I can’t wait to return. Çok çok teşekkür ederim ve inşallah görüşürüz! 🤍- Kirsten Harris
