Marlon Hotel

Good location, just off the main tourist street but still can hear some noise from the restaurants and bars outside. Great view of the mosque (if you have a balcony room) but that also means calls to prayer regularly. Very comfy bedding. 7th floor doesn’t have direct elevator access, so need to walk up from the 6th floor. Good water pressure. Would stay again.

The rooms were spacious and very close to the taksim square. Too bad there was no view, pur rooms only saw the fire exit stairs of the next building. However, the courtesy of the staffs were super friendly and helpful.

I will list the following points about this hotel: Positive Points: 1. Geographically, it is in a great location, just 3-4 minutes away from Taksim Square. The area is also safe. 2. There are several good pubs next to the hotel. 3. It has excellent access to the metro, buses, and taxis. 4. The hotel is very clean. 5. In the small and cozy lobby, free tea and coffee are always available. I hope this service is provided throughout the year. 6. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. However, I suggest that they wear matching uniforms with name tags and job titles. Negative Points from My Perspective: 1. The bathroom should have non-slip slippers, which were not provided. 2. The noise from the street and cars can be disturbing. The only solution is to book a room on the upper floors. However, the windows are double-glazed. 3. There is no free breakfast, and I suggest the hotel consider offering one. You can get breakfast for around $22 per day, but I find this price high. A fairer price would be around $10-$15, depending on the type of breakfast. 4. Airport transfer is only available for a fee of around €50-€60, which is very expensive compared to public transport (buses costing 400 lira or around $11). It would be good if the hotel considered a more affordable option.

Good service, good location with affordable price, room is also new renovated
