Marmara Guesthouse

Un excelente lugar cerca de todo..... Buen desayuno y habitaciones limpias

We booked 3 hotels through Trip for this trip. 2 of them sent messages to remind guests on the day of check-in, which was very considerate. However, this hotel did not respond at all. We checked in late that day, and the hotel never tried to care whether the guests encountered any difficulties. The location of the hotel is indeed good, very close to Hagia Sophia, but the room is very narrow and can barely fit two single beds. Fortunately, there are many drawers for storing items. The most pitiful thing is that there is no quilt, so I can only use a quilt bag as a quilt, even though there is felt in the wardrobe. But isn’t a quilt the most basic thing? The only thing to praise is that the breakfast is good, and the front desk customer service during the day took the initiative to help us carry our luggage and walk a few dozen meters to the pick-up point when we left the hotel.

The hotel left a very pleasant impression! The small room for two was cozy and very clean. The room was warm, everything worked. No noise at night. And the breakfasts were just amazing!!! I recommend!

Great hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Very tasty and varied breakfasts with a view of the Bosphorus. Cleaning every day. I will definitely stay at this hotel again.

We are leaving the room today, I am writing a review right away. The place is excellent - the location of the hotel is very convenient, everything is at hand, in 3 days we walked around all the sights, went to the other side of the Golden Horn, transport is close. The hotel is located in a busy area, but there is a dead end and there are no tourists at all, it is very quiet and calm. There are many cafes around, the prices are the same everywhere, so I recommend a decent place Seafront - this is a restaurant and a good-level hotel with the same prices as downstairs, but the food is tastier and more decent. Wine is expensive everywhere, in March 2025 1000 rubles per glass. The hotel is small, but we found it quickly, it is on the map, it is very compact inside, but 2 people were comfortable. We took a room on the 1st floor next to the reception, it is normal, but there is a washing machine under the windows, they turn it on at 9 am, you can hear it a little. There is a radiator, it is not cold. The bed linen is fresh, the pillow and mattress are comfortable, after a whole day of walking we slept like babies. Cleaning every day. Breakfast is more than good: tea and coffee all day free on the terrace, olives, fresh vegetables, pickled vegetables, pastries, dried fruits, jam, Nutella, 2 types of eggs, fried potatoes, cereal, yogurt every day. There were even pancakes. The view from the terrace is super, the Bosphorus and the ships ❤️ in the evenings we sat and looked at the sea with a cup of coffee. The staff is very polite, speaks English, greets in Russian.

I chose the hotel based on the maximum number of positive reviews and the absence of negative ones (objectively) over the past six months. The only downside is the small rooms, but this is normal for old buildings. Check-in is quick, reception is friendly. The room was on the second floor, the stairs are narrow, but this is also standard for Istanbul. The room is very warm and light, the bed linen and towels are snow-white. The bed and pillows are comfortable. There is a refrigerator, no kettle in the room. Slippers and shampoo in the bathroom. A special love is the terrace on the 4th floor 😍. The view is gorgeous, the breakfasts are excellent, every day something from the dishes changes. A lot of different pastries. A nice bonus is that the terrace is open until late in the evening, where you can enjoy free tea, coffee, lemonade throughout the day. Attractions are a 10-minute walk from the hotel.
