Great location, very helpful staff.
Stayed four nights at the Marmara and really enjoyed our stay. The room is a little small, but normal for a major European city. Concierge service was really great, helping us book dinner on several nights and a cooking class. You can't beat the location for access to mass transit system and Istikal street. Very nice cafe downstairs (Kitchenette) that is better and cheaper than the hotel bar.

Short walk from hotel
Use the Metro (funicular & trams) to get around Istanbul. Cabs are cheap but traffic is always crazy and can take much longer.

Great City to explore as a couple.
Hotel is well located. You can manage to travel by metro or taxi to all the tourist attractions throughout the city. The metro station is right across the street from the hotel, and it take about 20minutes to get to the Old City (where all the monuments and mosques are)

Take a cab, and have dinner at one of the restaurants at Reina Club. It´s good food, and loads of fun to party there. It´s the best club in town.

perfect location
the hotel is centrally located near the Istiklal street which is always crowded with people. Since we love people watching, this is a perfect hotel for us. The sheet is very clean and crispy everyday and the mattress is changed every 3 days while we stayed there. The heater is quite hot and my husband had to keep lowering the tempature.

Tolle Lage für einen Shoppingtrip
Das Hotel liegt unmittelbar neben der "Shoppingmeile" Taksim. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Zimmer waren sauber aber eher klein und etwas ringhörig. Aber alles in allem war es super. Würden dieses Hotel wieder wählen.

Evaluation Global
A part son emplacement qui se trouve prés d'une rue bien fréquenté, je trouve que cet hôtel nécessite une rénovation au niveau des chambres ( salle de bain) qui était trop exigüe. Pour le prix que nous avons payé je ne recommanderai pas forcément cet hôtel.

Excellente Lage
Sind nun schon zum zehnten Mal in diesem Hotel und finden nach wie vor: Besser kann die Lage eines Hotels in Istanbul nicht sein! Frühstücksbüffet würden wir auf keinen Fall empfehlen, da es mehr als genug gute Orte in der näheren Umgebung gibt sich zu verköstigen und zwar zu jeder Tageszeit.
