The hotel was near to Sultanahmet station, and it was very close to every other city's cultural centers as Blue Mosque,Aia Sopfia or Topkapi.The staff was very nice and gentle, and you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Bosphorus.You can find all that in very good price.

The rooms have a great... More

We got this hotel by mistake for our last night returning from Athens in order to get out flight early in the morning. Fortunately we had to spend only a half of the night as we had to leave at 3:30. This hotel is possibly the creepiest I've been. The hallways smell cigarettes, the room smells rotten food and the... More

We stayed in the Meddusa just before Christmas, a place we'd been to twice before, and were shocked to wake up one morning and find that someone had been in our room while we were asleep and taken one of our handbags. The receptionist didn't speak much english and kept saying it wasn't a problem. We asked for the manager... More

We had an enjoyable stay at the meddusa hotel. The location was ideal. 10 mins from all the main attractions in the old town, the blue mosque, grand bizarre, Hagia Sophia and spice bizarre. Helpful staff and nice breakfast. Great value for money. Would definitely stay there again.

The employees are very welcoming, and despite certain language challenges, truly tries to make the stay as pleasant as possible. The rooms (we stayed there twice, and tested three different... More

Small, cramped and noisy. On the first day our room had a view of the septic tank, and the triple room was so small it had no room to even put one suitcase on the floor, let alone 3. I had to do gymnastic contortions in order to reach my bed. No table/chair or mirror due to the size. The... More
