The hotel is perfectly located close to Galata Tower. The staff are friendly, and the view at breakfast was amazing. Our bedroom was large with a balcony. The hotel is in need of maintenence but is exceptional value for money. We would stay again.

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!

Nice and comfortable stay

My recent stay at this hotel was fantastic, largely due to the exceptional service provided by Avnee and Can at the reception. Avnee's warm welcome and Can's attentive assistance made my stay truly memorable. Their dedication to customer service is commendable, and I look forward to returning in the future. Thank you, Avnee and Can!

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

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.

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.

4 Günlük Otel Konaklaması

Resepsiyonda 'Murat Bey' karşıladı. Güler yüzlü ve sıcak bir karşılama yaptı. Murat Bey'e hangi sıkıntı ile gitsek bize yardımcı oldu. Öncelikle Murat Bey'e teşekkür ederim. Odamızın, günlük temizliği yapıldı. Genel itibari ile temizdi. Tek sıkıntı klima motor sesi biraz yüksekti. Kahvaltı konusunda açık büfe kahvaltı seçenekleri iyiydi. Otelin konumu Galata Kulesi'ne mesefasi çok yakın, Eminönü ve İstiklal Caddesine yakındı. Meroddi bünyesinde olan diğer otelde 'Barnathan Otel' akşam yemeği yiyebilirsiniz. Manzarası şahane. La Porta otelden gittiğiniz zaman ilk alkolsüz içecekler ücretsiz ve yemekte %10 indirimden faydalanabilirsiniz. Burada tek bir sıkıntı yaşadık. İlk gün otel müşterisi olduğumuzu söylemeyi unuttuk. Yemek ücretlerimizi ödedik. İkinci gün tekrardan gittiğimizde otel müşterisi dediğimizde bizdeb ayrıca servis ücreti alındı. Bu duruma şaşırdık. Ve Ön Büro Müdürü 'Şenol Bey' ilettik. Durumla ilgilendi. Kendisine de teşekkür ederiz.
