I will point out key areas: 1. booking- too much pain: My husband initially made a online booking, against his company discounts, but he did not get it and he called them , they said you cancel it and we will book it right away with applying discounted rates. while on call we cancelled the booking and as soon as...

I had a wonderful stay in The Marmara Taksim last week in their Suit Room facing Bosphorus view.This is one of the best views in my travel experiences. Special thanks to Mr. Ahmet at front desk, he works everything perfectly and professionally. Appreciate too the senior manager who sent me off at lobby during my departure in early morning at...

I personally prefer staying in the old part of Istanbul near the Blue Mosque area but really... More

Hotel Marmara is very well located and within walking distance to shops, restaurants and cafes. The rooms are nice but on the small side with great views of the Bosphorus River. The bathroom is nice and has speakers so you can hear your tv while taking a shower. The fridge is very well stocked and you even get red bull.... More
