Pros: The hotel is positioned near Galata Tower so it allows you to go everywhere by walking. Stuff was super nice, helpful and friendly.
Cons: the hotel is entirely built in wood which made our room a little bit dated and dark - a little renovation is needed
Overall the experience was good

Great little hotel close to best restaraunts and shops, there is an amazing view from a rooftop bar they have. Cutest rooms with everything needed, there is an elevator too. My room had a cute balkony with table and chairs outside. Gorgeous design and super attending staff! Would definitely come back! My family and friends have stayed at Medar many times, all are happy. Very clean, only one thing that was unpleasant is little mold in the shower which I'm sure they are working on. Thank you Medar Hotel!

What a great stay! The room was perfect with a little balcony. It is in a great location, a block of the main strip so it is quiet but convenient. Also, it had good water pressure, which makes for a great shower after a long day checking out the city. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful! I had to make some travel changes and they helped me call the airlines and figure out flight changes. Highly recommend staying at the Medar Hotel!

Great little hotel!
The Medar is a very nice little hotel. I had a great room, very clean,comfortable bed. Super shower. The staff were very nice. Very happy. One thing I will say for less mobile visitors is the entrance to the hotel is more or less in the middle of some steep steps. I had no problem at all but if you have mobility issues perhaps this would not be a good choice for you. But in fact the Galata area has some very steep streets so keep that in mind. But I was very happy with my stay at the Medar. I had a view of a stunning mosque across the Golden Horn from my balcony. Lit up at night.

Honestly I like this property but was surprised because when i booked for my room it was supposed to be bed and breakfast and upon arrival I was surprised that there was no breakfast.

Wonderful stay at Medar Hotel! The staff were all exceptional and made us feel super welcome and taken care of. The location is perfect - close to all the main attractions and lots of options for things to do in Taksim Square. The hotel itself was decorated nicely and the building and the room was super nice as well. We did have to ask them to change our sheets when we first arrived but besides that, everything was clean and comfortable and felt homely. The restaurant was closed but the meal options for room service were great, convenient and quick. Overall, amazing hotel to stay at in Istanbul!
