How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
Sultanahmet: landmarks and airports, in a straight line
Meddusa Hotel stands on Nuruosmaniye Caddesi in the Sultanahmet district of Istanbul. Measured in a straight line, the area's main landmarks sit close by:
- Basilica Cistern: about 0.3 km
- Hagia Sophia, Hagia Irene and Sirkeci railway station: about 0.5 km each
- Sultan Ahmed Mosque: about 0.6 km
- Topkapı Palace: about 0.8 km
- Süleymaniye Mosque: about 1.2 km
- Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW): about 30.7 km
- Istanbul Airport (IST): about 34 km
Four rooms, from a 14 m² single to the 30 m² family room
The hotel has four room types. The Double or Twin Room and the Single Room are both 14 m²: the Double or Twin has one queen bed or two twin beds and sleeps up to 2, while the Single has one twin bed and sleeps 1. Between them in size sits the Triple Room at 17 m², with a double bed and a twin bed, sleeping up to 3.
The Family Room is the largest and the only one that sleeps four: 30 m², with a double bed and two twin beds. Its name points to its size and bed count rather than to who may stay in it, since children are not allowed at this hotel. It works for a group of adults sharing, or for two adults who want the extra space.
For a couple, the Double or Twin Room is the straightforward choice; a solo traveller takes the Single Room at the same 14 m² footprint. Three adults share the Triple Room, and four take the Family Room.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double or Twin Room | 14 m² | 1 queen bed or 2 twin beds | up to 2 |
| Family Room | 30 m² | 2 twin beds, 1 double bed | up to 4 |
| Single Room | 14 m² | 1 twin bed | up to 1 |
| Triple Room | 17 m² | 1 twin bed, 1 double bed | up to 3 |
Adults only: no children, no pets
Meddusa Hotel does not allow children and does not allow pets. Every room type, the Family Room included, is therefore for adults only. A party of four adults can share the Family Room; a family with children cannot stay here in any room.
That makes the hotel a fit for couples, friends travelling together and solo guests, and a poor fit for anyone travelling with children or with an animal.
Check-in, check-out and getting there
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is until 12:30. The hotel has no parking, which matters to travellers arriving by car.
For getting around, the hotel offers a paid shuttle service, and there is a lift as well as room service.
Who Meddusa Hotel suits, and who it does not
The hotel suits adults travelling without children or pets: a solo guest in the Single Room, a couple in the Double or Twin Room, three adults in the Triple Room or four in the 30 m² Family Room. The landmarks around Sultanahmet sit between about 0.3 and 1.2 km away, in a straight line, with the Basilica Cistern the closest at about 0.3 km.
It does not suit families with children in any room, guests travelling with pets, or travellers who need parking. Both Istanbul airports are roughly 30 to 34 km away, in a straight line, and the hotel's shuttle service is paid.
