I was original booked at the sister hotel 'Old City Viva Hotel'. Upon my arrival I was told they were over booked,so transferred us to 'Metropol Hotel'. Which I must say was a blessing in disguise. It looked nicer than the one I was suppose to stay in. I was little concerned as I didn't want to be charged twice... More

We stayed at the Metropol for 4 nights. The room was small but very clean. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good. The location of the hotel is in easy walking distance to things we wanted to see, also a short walk to the tram stop. Restaurants and cafes very handy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay... More

We stayed at The Metropol for three nights. We were a party of four, so had to use two rooms, but reception made sure we were right next door to each other. The rooms were dated but nice and clean, offered air on and free Wifi in room. The hotel was part of the old city and close to good... More

Great position in the old city. Situated on a car free road allowing you to walk freely around the shops and restaurants. Close to the Blu Mosque and Sofia Maria Church and also the port, all walking distance. Staff were helpful, when a tour bus failed to pick us up on our last day the reception manager personally tracked them... More

This hotel is a little old fashioned and basic but is clean and is fine for a short over night stay. The single rooms are very small and dark but have good showers, toilets and basic air conditioning. The staff are friendly and the location is ideal for walking to any of the main attractions. The breakfast buffet is also... More

I have stayed here so many times. Friendly staff, fine aroma for sleep, nice breakfast. But there is not a private park place of hotel. Be aware of mafiatic parking parasites.

Metropol hotel is close to the riverside and is 1-2 kms from Aya Sofiya and Blue Mosque. The rooms are clean but very tiny, elementary and do not have any amenities for Tea/Coffee etc. The whole place has a old, worn out feel to it. Located in a congested narrow lane the view from the room is very bad, mostly... More

highly recommended in the heart of old city, nice clean room, good friendly staff especially waiter "serkan", average breakfast but no doubt I'll go back very close for all the attractions (galata bidge & tower, bosphure docks, sultan ahmet area) and all walking distance i didn't use any transporation during my 3 nights stay.
