! The Marmara Hotel – A Good Stay with a Few Funny Surprises

Overall, I had a very pleasant stay, but there are a few things future guests should know.

First, the website is a little misleading. It mentions an airport shuttle, but there isn’t one, so plan your transportation accordingly.

Second, the attached SheMall looked like a movie set after everyone had gone home—almost completely empty. Don’t expect a shopping adventure there.

Now, let’s talk about the interior design. I’m convinced the woodwork was designed by a framing carpenter who had a little too much coffee that morning. It has a very… “under construction” personality. 😄

The biggest challenge was the bed. The pillows and mattress felt like they came straight from the Stone Age. Sleeping on them was remarkably similar to spending the night on a sheet of OSB plywood. My back and I had a long discussion the next morning!

That said, the staff were friendly, the hotel was clean, the location was excellent, and everything else about the stay was very good. With a softer mattress, better pillows, and accurate information about the airport shuttle, this place would be outstanding.

I would stay here again—next time I’ll just bring my own pillow!

This was so great place to stay! I traveled t different countries and never seen hospitality like Turks! I
We stayed for 2 weeks but we didn’t want to go back home yet so we extended 2 more weeks so total of 1 months! Starting from resepsiyon people, restaurants waiters to the beaches bar workers were so friendly, smiling faces and professional!
I have 2 more weeks more to stay and I am afraid that I might extended my stay longer! I could write an article for this beautiful place and talk about it more! The breakfast unbelievable! Food fresh and delicious!
We will be back for sure again to the The Marmara of Antalya again!

The room we got is very outdated and looked very basic. The mini bar had a glass door with bright light coming through and during the night it lit up the room and we could not sleep. However, the next day their staff turned the light off of the mini bar. The hair dryer didn’t had enough power to dry hair.

The property outdoor area facing the Mediterranean Sea is really nice and they have their own private beach which is accessed through an elevator and a tunnel. Unfortunately the room which was given to us is not at all good..

Hotel rooms are clean, have a special style though. Swimming in the sea is very nice, they have elevator to the sea and underground tunnel to go to the beach platform.
Pool area was also beautiful and of a good size.
Hotel serves a very good breakfast, though other food or drinks in the hotel are quite overpriced, comparing to any nearby restaurants.
They also have a large gym, that is in a very good condition.

The out side beauty

The outside of the hotel is phenomenal, it's a paradise. The buffet is delicious, the pool and the sea are unique, everything was spectacular. The only thing was that the room I asked for was non-smoking and it smelled a lot of cigarettes. The bed was too hard, which prevented me from sleeping well. We also spent a night with the air conditioning broken, it was a very uncomfortable and very hot night.

Awesome 360 revolving room. Amazing views. Good customer service. Courteous and helpful staff. Property condition bit dated but still very good. Wide variety and good quality breakfast options. They provided us with takeaway breakfast on the day we checked-out early in the morning. Convenient taxi service. Early check-in was not an issue.
Rooms were more designed for couples rather than family in mind so it lacked privacy when using bathroom facilities. Colour scheme not to everyone's taste.

Confusing Decor !!! Rest everything is perfect

The decors are 'confusing' , the color scheme of the rooms, lighting etc. Make it appear as if it's an 'adult-only' hotel e.g. in our room on the bathroom door there was an oriental nude painting, the room door had erotica art painting but in general it appeared a perfectly family friendly hotel
We were traveling with kids so was a bit embarrassing to have such caricatures in the room . But rest everything else was perfect... Good breakfast... Good gym/spa ... Good location and friendly stagg

I booked a standard room with city view. Noise issues at night. The bed was uncomfortable and found hair in the sheets. The towels looked yellowish and dirty. Good thing I packed my own towel. Besides the inconveniences, the hotel doesn't allow to bring food or drinks to the bedroom, they don't even want to allow to bring a bottle of water from outside. Instead, they want you to buy food from their overpriced and presumably bad food at their restaurant and \"minibar\" (a small fridge packed with unhealthy, expired and small sized junk in the room). This hotel is more like a prison or a hospital. Not a place to enjoy your vacation. This rule is not listed on Expedia and it should not take you by surprise. It would be better to call and make sure you have the freedom to eat whatever you want in your own hotel room, without having to fall for their scam.

Stayed at the Marmara for 5 nights, good location in terms of restaurants near by coffee shops and a shopping centre 5 min drive.
Hotel is dated rooms need modernising but rooms were very clean. Beds were comfortable and pillows great considering I suffer from insomnia I slept peacefully for the 5 nights I was there.
Breakfast was great can’t fault that, fresh food every morning and a good variety.
I used the facilities like the gym, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi really good. Went to the Spa and prices were reasonable. The therapist I think her name was Aki (Sorry forgot her name but she was Pilipino) was great.
Now let me get to the negatives..I would have rated this hotel excellent if it wasn’t for the staff at the reception.
Most of them especially the female staff at reception were not friendly nor did they smile, very stern faces. The men at reception also had stern faces but were much friendly and approachable than the girls.
The only girl who was friendly and helped me extend my room without a fuss was Kameli (I think that was her name)
Staff at the morning buffet were absolutely miserable no good morning no smile, stern faces all around.
They need training in dealing with people and improving facial expressions. I’m not a morning person but coming down so early for breakfast and seeing miserable people made me miserable..
I wouldn’t stay in this hotel again because of the staff but overall it’s not a bad hotel.

The hotel was great with a spacious room, a great pool, and a very nice ocean access. It's not a sandy beach but still very pleasant. We didn't use it but there is also a gym, and we were told that the turkish bath is free of charge (but the massage is extra). The only thing we felt as a pity is the fact that the lady who checked us in at the reception did not speak much English and did not explain to us about the gym or the turkish bath. And we didn't know how to get to the ocean. The porter told us about the gym, etc., but we weren't sure how the turkish bath worked so ended up not using it. It would have been nice to have an explanation at the check-in or have them written down in the rooms.
