Mediterra Art Hotel

"I stayed at the Mediterra Art Hotel end Feb/beginning March 2026 and found it to be lovely. The staff were super efficient, especially at breakfast, cleaning and in reception. This time of year it was a bit chilly mornings and evenings which required wood heaters set by your table at breakfast and turning aircon on to heat mode at night though this became unnecessary after a few days. We moved rooms as the first was facing the nightclub. Banging techno music from 9 pm to 1 am with associated street noise after closing. I'd have loved it at one time but now just too old! The second room was much better and larger. The architecture and breakfast service was great. Lots of small tapas dishes each morning with slight variations on the eggs. Lots of cheeses, bread, olives, some sausage in sauce, slices of orange and a free flask of black tea. Coffee or orange juice was an extra cost. Once or twice we had snacks in the restaurant which were delicious and home made. We usually went to Luna Gardens or across Ataturk Cadessi to restaurants which were much cheaper. Down by the harbour, prices were like London prices but enjoyed a few delicious bowls of soup there. The old harbour is beautiful daytime or night for a walk or drink and it felt very safe. I did the Duden Falls boat trip of 45 mins, which was quite nice though not spectacular. The Byzantium and Ethnography museums were excellent, beautiful and interesting. Lots to see around the area, good walks along the coast towards Lara. The star of this place is the mountain range, which were snow capped and gorgeous. Mediterra Art Hotel is very central and is good value. I'd certainly go back again. People were friendly and welcoming, especially the waiters and cleaning staff - the place is spotless - an elderly fellow selling jewelry at the look out stage above Kaleici old harbour was a beautiful character. The markets and shops were a pain with incessant sales pitches which drove you away! No peace to browse but that's how it is, everyone trying to make a living."

"The location is outstanding - in the middle of old town and very easy to access the old markets, beach and transport. It can be quite noisy - bringing earplugs is a good idea! The staff really make this place. Sherif made us feel incredibly welcome."

"A very nice stay in a lovely location, very friendly staff, clean room. I also had the breakfast which was good Bar and restaurant with music nightly, a perfect place to stay for my quick trip for dental treatment and walks"
