Therefore, it seemed not an easy decision to make. However, choosing to stay at Meroddi Pera Hotel just proved to be a right decision. Located in a narrow, quiet passage only 40 meters parallel to Istiklal street, heading downhill towards Galata Tower (200 meters) and Karakoy bay, is easy to find and close to all means of transportation. Sishane metro station is 300 meters uphill, with connection to Ataturk airport (50 minutes journey). Buses and trams leave from Karakoy, right next to Galata Bridge, ferries, by far the best way to explore the city, depart from Karakoy Bay. Once wandering around on foot is preferred, this a right place to stay. Many sights of interest lie within walking distance, with magnificent views and numerous cafes, restaurants and shops around. Not to miss, definitely, is breakfast! It is offered in a place right next door to the property, with choices more than enough to begin the day. Scrambled eggs and orange juice made of freshly squeezed oranges easily match any 5 star accommodation. Room was clean with a queen double, very comfortable bed, wooden floor, minibar, bottled water offered for free and shower with a marble floor. View is nothing special, but had windows towards three directions. Area looked safe, reception is 24/7 available. Great value for money, indeed. Recommended, would stay again.
