Hotel Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

Unfortunately I cannot call it a pleasant experience. The Merwano is a small hotel located in one of the alleys leading to Istiklal street. It I'd near the subway station, in walking distance of Taksim Square and near lots and lots of clothing stores if you're interested in shopping. But about the hotel, we'll I can't say much. The rooms are tiny. The bathroom is even tinier. There isn't even enough room for you to take a shower. The staff speak limited English. The building has recently been renovated and the appearance of the rooms and hallways looks clean. After spending the first night we asked for an extra blanket which they didn't supply. They simply said that they didn't have any extra blankets! They didn't clean the room at all during the 3 days we were there. Breakfast is served in the bar downstairs, outside the hotel. So we had to put on our coats and jackets to go to breakfast since our visit was in winter. The lady working at the bar and serving breakfast was always in a bad mood. We were scared to even ask for some salt. Breakfast was a plate with some cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers, exactly 4 olives, individual jam and butter, and a hard boiled egg. We had to book this place in the last moment just because our reservation with another hotel wasn't confirmed in time and our travel agency didn't give us enough information about this hotel. So I would not recommend this hotel especially if it is your first visit to Istanbul.

Fantastic property right by the waters of Bosphorus. Very friendly staff and amazing facilities. It also has a free transfer to the other Four Seasons in Istanbul at Sultanahmet - great way to explore both amazing properties.

The best hotel in Istanbul! The hotel is connected to Zorlu Center which has all the Luxury shopping brands and several dining options to choose from. The hotel itself is clean, best customer service, and has all the facilities you need. The Spa is really recommend as it is one of the largest in Istanbul.

A very perfect accommodation experience, especially drinking, first-class quality and service, plus the location of the hotel, it is really beautiful!

It's okay to upgrade the family sea view room to the executive sea view suite. When you come to Istanbul, you must stay in Peninsula. It has new hardware, good services and a big swimming pool.

The location is close to the Blue Mosque. The bathroom is clean, the facilities are good, and the front desk is very friendly~ The key to visit is a bit old and it is inconvenient to open and close.

Hotel staff are professional and helpful. Location is also superb. Nonetheless we are disappointed that certain facilities, like the terrace, are closed “in preparation for high season”. There is no swimming pool at this establishment either - while the hotel provides shuttle transport to their other location on the Bosphorus it is at least half an hour bus ride away. This makes it not the best value for the money in our opinion. The famous view of the Blue Mosque is also fully blocked by a taller Seven Hills cafe nearby. You can find better value elsewhere. And don’t go if scenic views or swimming pool are important to you.

They did not return the remaining amount of the insurance to my own account, noting that the period has become long since it is more than a month and the amount has not been recovered. I do not know what their problem is.
