We liked proximity to that Main street, the tram and subway. Ease of getting a taxi. Our room was nice, bed comfy and room was kept clean. The complementary water, fruits and nuts was very nice and appreciated. Challenges, common areas of the hotel were smoky. The numerous taxis right outside the hotel is problematic trying to get in or out. Checkin was curt and unhelpful. Did not provide any useful information on the hotel or site seeing or maps.

Gorgeous hotel in great location. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the pool only has about 3 seats around it and they told me that they couldn’t bring another chair out so I couldn’t really sit next to it/use it. Otherwise, lovely hotel and very good price.

Great location can walk straight into the nice side streets to start exploring. We hired a car and was busy area to navigate but was greeted with a member of staff who helped with bags and parked my car for me. Was a nice touch. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment but was very happy with hotel and would stay here again.

The only issue for me is that when I checked-in they told me that I was upgraded from city view to sea view…they should have said downgraded to open rooftop club view facing my window playing very loud music from 9:30pm to 12:30 every night! Very unfortunate, bad sleep for 3 nights.

Great hotel, centrally located. There’s a train station not too far away, local attractions are a short walk away.

The staff are friendly and ready assist with anything. It’s always wonderful to be greeted by Mustafa-the house keeper, he makes sure rooms are clean and tidy.

The breakfast is amazing, a great spread of breads, salads and cheese.
Big shout to Asma who makes the best omelettes, always with a smile and she remembers you following day too:)

We couldn’t experience the pool as it was closed, they have a lovely restaurant on the roof top with great views of the city.

The room was clean with great views over the marmara sea and towards the asian side. Everything was ready for us when we arrived. There’s robes and slippers. The shampoo, shower gel, conditioner and lotion were all zero parabens and zero soap. We weren’t able to use the pool as it was already cold and they have closed it for the season now. We did not include breakfast with our booking as we intended to eat out for most of the stay. The location of the hotel is just one street away from istiklal street and a few minutes walk to the galata tower and area which is so busy and buzzing at night. Amazing as its very close to everything. The karakoy tram to get to sultanahmet is also short walking distance downhill. Great stay. Will be back again, hopefully when there is a bosphorus view room available.

The photos on the website and Google are not real and have been manipulated. In my opinion, they are photoshopped.

The location was not suitable at all. It was very far from Taksim Square and there was no proper or pleasant way to walk.

The staff’s behaviour was not good at all. When we arrived, they were outside the hotel smoking.

This hotel is of very low quality and old.

The curtains were very dirty, dusty, wrinkled, and even torn.
The floor of the room was dirty and smelled bad.

The toilet and bathroom were very old and of low quality.

There was a gap in the entrance door of the room, so people could see inside. Even the smallest sounds came into the room, including the sound of the toilet from the next room.

People are not sleeping inside this hotel!! Not suitable for a family at all.

Breakfast was very poor:
They were cutting fruit next to the gas stove, which didn’t look good and wasn’t hygienic.
In dishes like beans, they used small spoons which fell inside and became dirty.
Some of the kitchen staff were very rude, some didn’t speak English, and they didn’t respect each other.
The chairs were all stuck together, not suitable for a two-person couple, and the space was not used well. We didn’t feel comfortable.

We left the hotel after just 5 hours.

It was one of my bad experiences in 22Y.

The most generous score I can give is 3 out of 10.
Overall, it’s a 2-star hotel. Maybe in this season, $40 per night could be reasonable, but I still don’t recommend it.

I always stay in Marmar Pera. And will stay again. i gave it good not excellent this time due to The following:
- the room was not cleaned properly. The side tables and window banks stayed stained from drinks
- the taxi to the airport: I understand that the employees try to make a leaving. I am feequent and I know the prices. When I asked to get me a taxi because leaving early morning one told me it is fix price 1400 TL the other said 1600 TLZ i know it is not fix and according the to meter at that time max 1200 TL. It is not good for high end hotel.
- the rooms need a facelift

But also had to say got a fantastic upgrade. Service in general great. Location and view from room or roof swimming pool amazing as well as the breakfast.

The Property has a different design and is well kept. The room where we stayed was on the rotating tower, it spins around providing you with different views.

Breakfast is amazing with many selections to choose from.

The cons…. We felt in a Motel instead of a 5 Star Hotel. Staff is scarce. Upon our arrival after a long motorcycle ride, we went to the sea to cool off and watch the sunset. Although they have a bar by the sea (BTW no sand beach, but rock’s cliff), service is offer until 7:00 PM Sunset now is about 9:00 PM. While they say CLOSED, the staff was drinking and smoking, while we were thirsty.

We moved to the pool looking for something to drink, a long walk to the cafeteria bar. At 11:30 PM we got a call advising us that someone was on the way to the room to collect money o CC for the drinks by the pool.

We just simply opted to spend our time in Antalya out of the hotel just to avoid more frustrations.

The worst part of all, I paid top money for a 5 Star hotel, just to get a mediocre service with a hotel nearly empty.

7 night stay, great location

We had a room on the 11th floor overlooking the city and the river. The room was very spacious and on arrival there were some sweets for us. Complimentary water daily and tea and coffee.
There were just two downsides, the first was if you open the window at night it was just too noisy to sleep, nothing the hotel can do about it just one to be aware of. The second is the bath, the shower was fab, hot and great pressure but, it is within a bath and the side of the bath was much higher than a standard bath and as such climbing in and out was done carefully.
The main restuarant in the hotel is fine dining and not one for regular meals. Pera 77 is also on the higher end so great for the odd night only. Breakfast is excellent and is served in the Pera 77. Such a wide variety and omelet station.

Overall, I really liked this property. If I had two negatives, they would be 1) \" Only one chair in a superior-class room while there is a table for two\" 2) Not that I watch much TV when I am on vacation but having only two English-speaking channels ( one of which is CNN and the is DW, a European CNN-like channel). Make sure to bring your computer and Netflix password so you can stream. Otherwise, this is a great hotel, excellent breakfast, 100 feet from Istikal Street, close to historical sites, and excellent transport, next door to a pharmacy, and near-by local stores to purchase cold drinks. Enjoy!!

Incredible Views & Hospitality at The Marmara Pera

We had such a wonderful stay at The Marmara Pera! Not only is the location perfect—walking distance to so much of Istanbul—but what truly set this hotel apart was the incredible hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel completely at home. I was traveling with a small dog and they really spoiled her with all kinds of goodies and treats.

A special thank you to the manager and especially to Kübra, who truly went above and beyond. It was all the little details—from the Turkish delights delivered to our room to finding duct tape when my suitcase was falling apart—that made this stay unforgettable. Anytime we needed something, Kübra and the team were right there with a solution and a smile.

Our room had breathtaking views of the Bosphorus and waking up to that view each morning felt like a dream. The thoughtful touches, the warm service, and those views combined to create one of our most memorable hotel stays anywhere. Don’t forget to check out heir rooftop pool and incredible breakfast buffet.

Highly recommend The Marmara Pera—we can’t wait to come back!

We booked a room with sea view but it was more looking at slums, tiny little sea view was not satisfying although we stayed on 15th floor. Otherwise, room was clean, bed was comfortable. Room was also spacious with big windows.

We had a little problem in the morning with wake up service, although we didn’t request anything at 9 am the phone was ringing super loud. First day we thought it was a mistake but same happened in the following days.

Breakfast was good, but I cant say the same for coffee.

Horrible customer service. The front desk staff were some of the rudest and most dismissive people. We were placed in room that had zero sound proofing and we could hear loud party music for hours. Reception ignored our complaints multiple times and even blocked our phone line after falsely claiming they would come and check the issue. My partner and I ended up going down to reception for some resolution and were told to take a seat while they continued to ignore us and speak to each other in Turkish. When we eventually demanded a resolution, we were begrudgingly taken to another quieter room, despite the reception previously telling us that the hotel was booked solid. I have never experienced anything quite like this in my many years of travelling. Would recommend everyone to steer clear of this horrible hotel.
