The hotel is in a very good location. The maintenance of the rooms is minimal and the room conditions is not good where the painting is old and the beds are not comfortable. The hair dryer and the TV were not functioning in my room. Overall, I would say the stay was ok, the staff were really friendly and helpful. However it could have been way better if they pay extra attention to the areas listed above. ā€œMore maintenanceā€.

Horrible

The worst hotel I've ever been to. We stayed for 6 nights without anyone clean our room , we have to ask for towels or shampoo. Bathroom is full of roaches and ants, no working tv or fridge, very slow wifi. That profile picture doesn't exist. Except location and one of the guy in front desk Abdul nothing positive I can say about this hotel.

This was the most unpleasant holiday accommodation I have ever experienced. The room was disgusting: - filthy/stained and smelly bedsheets with bits of dirt in the bed as well, I don't even wanted to know what that was. - black mold and stains on the bedroom ceiling and in the bathroom - bathroom and room size very small - bathroom glass panel door was jammed and falling over when trying to slide close - we could smell cigaret smoke all day, which we think is because the owner who was smoking on the terrace repeated times per day - the breakfast buffet was very bad quality (hardly any choice and the options that were there were not edible) hard dry bread, very pink and odd looking meat. we looked at the food and immediately decided to leave and eat elsewhere even though we'd paid for breakfast here at Meddusa. - the last point but not least: the owner or person in charge is very rude and arrogant. I had caught a cold in the hto air balloons in Cappadocia so asked this person if he had any paracetamol or something alike to reduce my fever and he abruptly said no. Usually hotels have first aid kits and basic medicines but that's understandable if they dont have it, it could have been said in a much more human and pleasant way. After that I asked him if there was any shop where I could get something from but he just ignored me. This is just an instance to give as an example but he was rude and arrogant in many more situations which made me really feel unwelcome.

I would like to get my money back I did not spend a night as soon as I saw the hotel I wanted to check out, but the reception said ā€œno refundā€ and I had to stay 1 night. The restroom floor was very dirty and dusty. There were dead roaches under the wood planks. The bed sheets, blankets and pillows were very unsanitary and has yellow stains on them. I would love to get my money back.I am going to post all the pictures on line for review.

Horrible stay

They have us a room which is supposed to be for x2 ppl and we booked for x3 ppl! No room for luggage, no room to stand, no room to pray. Toilet was horrible! Gutter smell, broken toilet seat, shower literally where the toilet was! They need to rearrange this room! Completely refurbish the toilet! We even raised it with the manager and nothing was done!

I was very disappointed with the condition of the room, especially the bathroom. According to the reception the light of the bathroom blew up before we checked in and were told that the electrician will come in the evening. The electrician came when we were sleeping so couldn't be fixed. The place needs renovation.

Old and small room

The room was very small and beddings looked very old. Especially, the restroom was so small, it barely fitted one person. Also, the restroom was at much high level compared to the rest of room, you had to took step up to get into restroom. Worst was shower head was in the restroom also without any barriers. When you were taking shower, the water got on the toilet covers and others.

Great location and price

We had a lovely three nights at the Meddusa. Wonderfully located halfway between Aya Sophia and the Grand Bazaar, 7 minutes walk from each, but quiet. Yes, the rooms are pretty small and a bit dated, the bathrooms very small, but it's all clean and there's air conditioning and at this price, you don't get five star luxury. And who goes to Istanbul to sit in a hotel room? Very friendly and helpful staff, a good breakfast and from the roof terrace, you can see the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, the Bospherous Bridge, Galata Tower and the Suleymanie. Not many hotels can boast that. We had three very good, nights sleep in the heart of the old city for a very good price.

Cheap, good location. They need to renovate some.

Cheap, good location, good breakfast on a rooftop terrace with a good view. Yes, I would recommend for the price. Small cramped room but clean and warm with clean linen. The hotel just needs to some simple renovation of their bathrooms and rooms and would be perfect.
