We were transferred from the nice Venus hotel to the Meddusa hotel. The walls were paper thin and the party upstairs keeped us awake until 2:30 am. The second night was a little better however you could hear movement around the hotel all night long. the rooms were simple and clean. We preferred the Venus hotel. more

Rooms very clean, beds very comfortable - easy walking distance to top sites/restaurants/shopping, etc. Small roof terrace with wonderful views of Bosphorus where you can have a great breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful. Excellent 2 Star hotel. Chris and Veronica more

Stayed in Meddusa for only 1 night in October 2009. There is nothing to complain about this hotel. Hotels in istanbul is overpriced and if you are looking for a nice and cozy sleep in a budget with own ensuite, then this is the one . This small hotel is just 5 minutes walk from Sultanahmet tram stop, although you... more

I recommend this hotel! It's situated in a tourist and animated district. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is chic and smiling. There is a beautiful restaurant. You will find all Turkish specialities. A beautiful place!!! more

Bad points: Extremely small rooms, many mosquitoes at night, no water for 24 hours during our stay of 4 nights, not clean bed linen, torn towels. Good point: Location. Typical Turkish breakfast (but the food is low quality) is served in a terrace with nice view. The reviews that I read about Meddusa before booking the hotel were, overall, very... more

I had a quite satisfactory week-long stay at the Meddusa. The place is a bit threadbare and my room (first floor on street side) was not as quiet as I'd have liked. But great location, friendly staff (not great English skills), clean (but a bit threadbare) room. Breakfast never changes but includes cornflakes as well as the usual yogurt/cheese/bread/cukes/tomatoes/olives/tea/instant coffee/juices.... more

I booked this hotel on the basis of price and other good comments. I did not have a good experience. On arrival in spite of having paid up front a month in advance I was told there was no room avavilable for me so I was taken to a supposedly same standard hotel around the corner. It was not the... more

A lovely location for a short stay in Istanbul. It's not on a slope, so that's a big plus. Deniz is very kind and friendly. Breakfast is on the terrace and there's instant tea available. I also liked the yogurt with honey available every morning. The slightly down point is that the room can be a little small. And the... more

If you look for a cozy, low budget hotel, Meddusa is the right place for you. The rooms are not very big but very clean with fresh towels every day. The place is very near to all the main sights in Sultanahmet, no need to use the public transport. Staff was very friendly, willing to help in every situation, so... more
