The hotel has really great location; the metro is only 2 minutes from the hotel, the Istiklal Street only 2 minutes from the hotel. There are a lot of cafes around the hotel. The service in the Hotel is very friendly, rooms are clean, comfortable and cosy. If you need non-smoking room you just need to tell this to the reception upon your check in. The breakfast is very nice but this is not 5-star hotel breakfast. There is Free Wi Fi internet in the rooms. The luggage delivery is very poor.
We stayed for 2 nights at the Marmara on February. The hotel is at Taxim sq and the Bosphorus view rooms have a great great view. Rooms are nicely decorated, clean and the service is excellent. It does not have the luxury of a 5 star hotel.more of a 4 star i would say.but with a 6 star view. There is free high speed internet in the business centre, and free wifi also.The position is ok but in istanbul due to the terrible traffic u never know how much time it will take to arrive anywhere. We had a dinner at the roof garden restaurant which has very nice views over the city and Bosphorus. Food was good as was the service. Generally this hotel is a good choice to explore istanbul and have a really pleasant stay.

We were lucky to be at this wonderful hotel as we had booked in at the very last minute. The location is perfect - you are at the starting point of the ever exuberent Istiklal Street and the buzzing Taksim Square. The metro station is right in front of the hotel and all the transport options are easily available. The hotel is a delight to stay in - very comfortable rooms of more than the avearge size in Istanbul hotels. The only issue I have is that the mattress was a bit too soft. The breakfast was good enough by the European standards. The view from the rooms is great, on all 4 sides. Strongly recommended that should you wish to stay in the new Istanbul area, this is the hotel to be in.

Actually I stayed in Marmara hotel for 5 days, the receptions are not bad but I wait more than 20 minutes waiting until my room gets ready. The hotel view is great, I took besphour view but next time if I returned back to this hotel I will take a golden horn view. see pictures the location is great every thing around you. also the breakfast is wonderful and rich. one of the disadvantages. that this hotel is really busy if you set in the lobby you will feel you are in the mall. sometimes in the breakfast the restaurant is so busy. but the service are fast and can speak English and this is great advantage in city like Istanbul

At first when you walk in you think you are in Vegas. The lobby is very modern is always bustling with activity. The staff were very helpful and nice. The upstairs bar is a great place to get drinks because of the amazing views of the city. The rooms were adequate, they weren't huge. Not sure I would consider it a 5 star hotel but it was nice. The only issue I had was the amount of smoke that was in our hallway. The rooms are listed as no smoking but I could smell smoke in our hallway and it eventually seeped into our room as well. All in all, great location with a lot going on around.

This is a real 5* hotel in the heart of Taxsim Square with Istiklal Street just around the corner - so it is very convenient for lots of local attractions, shopping etc. The hotel has lots to offer - from fine dining (the panoramic restaurant must have the best views of Istannbul in the whole city) and the swimming pool and sunbathing area offering fantasctic views across the Bosphorus. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are extremely clean and tidy with free wi-fi provided in all rooms. Overall a very nice experience and a hotel which we are sure to return to on our next visit to Istanbul

I have been several time in this hotel both for business and turism. The hotel is not new but the quality is still high. The location is just in the center of Istanbul and to go to historical part you can use the metro or do a long but nice walk in the city. The shopping area is very close. The room are nice and many of them are with a great view of the the sea. The breakfast is very rich, the service is good and the staff very efficient.

We really enjoyed our stay in Marmara Hotel. The rooms are nice designed and big. The view from the rooms and especially from the roof (with the pool) is fabulous. We had always a place by the pool to relax after a day in the city. The location is perfect, the shopping area is a few minutes away and there are also a lot of different restaurants and bars around the hotel. The receptionist were very friendly and helpful.
