“Tiny Rooms. Tiny Breakfast. Convenient Location.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

If u r backpacking, and need a room at cheap price, then u may opt for Metropole. Its located conveninetly near the riverside, main road which has lot of eating options, and is 5 mins away from Aya Sofiya and Blue Mosque.

Rooms are very tiny, and if u r 2 people, with big suitcases or luggage, u may be constrained for space. Bath is also very tiny. The staircase is dirty, and the elevator doesnt give u a safe feel. However the rooms are clean, even if outside the rooms, and the reception areas are dirty.

Pls ask for a room away from the street as the night can be noisy with some construction work which was on during our stay.

Room Tip: Pls request for a room away from the noisy street. Lower floors are preferable, as lift is mostly bu...

“Amazing”

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.

“Pretty ordinary”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

Its really old and the rooms are dated. Our bathroom was pretty bad - the shower door was cracked and came off the rails easily. Breakfast is ok. The hotel manager was very helpful and very nice and the location is excellent. The hotel isn't too bad, its just I didn't think it was very good value for money. Shop around and book early in Istanbul.

“Could have been better”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

person found this review helpful

This hotel is in a great location. It is close to the Tram, and major througfare. Major attractions are within walking distance. The breakfast that was provided was adequate, and staff was helpful.
The rooms are rather tiny but clean. Biggest complaint was the construction of the tunnel nearby that went on all night and the rock hard mattresses.
Would stay again.

“Nice little 3 star hotel close to main attractions.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011 via mobile

My wife and I stayed here after a hiking holiday. It is cosy and welcoming. The main attractions and bazzars are all within walking distance, we did 4 major attractions in one day! Breakfast is basic but OK - juices are dreadful and coffee is weak. Most staff are helpful but a few .. well not everyone loves their job.
