The Mara Palace Hotel

Very nice panorama view!!! Great staff, Mustafa is super friendly. Rooftop pool is awesome! Very calm place, clean rooms. Breakfast is nice. Highly recommended to stay here for at least some days!!! You also have a good coffeshop on the first floor. A++

Amazing place with good staff! Beautiful evening view from terrace. Room is comfortable and big. It was a good experience to stay here. Mustafa bey is super friendly manager. Pool is super nica at the evening. Thanks you for a good service!.

Reception staff are helpful arranged late check out no issues . To be fair they don’t charge palace prices so don’t expect one . The pool area on top floor is spotless and the views are to die for and in 7 days I never seen more than a handful of people up there. Bar snacks and drinks are limited but adequate The reception area and floor corridors are tired to say the least thread bare carpets and cracked tiles everywhere. The rooms are very basic cleaned daily but my shower area and bathroom were just past there best no cleaning could ever fix it . If your on a budget please remember you are paying a budget price for a hotel with great pool area and fantastic location . Could be improved but still worth the money they charge

About the few positive aspects: The hotel is in a very central location, directly at the harbor. The rooms are fairly big and the view from the roof is amazing. There is also a small pool on the rooftop. Breakfast is also served in the restaurant on the rooftop and is pretty standard, not overwhelming though. Now the negatives: It is not possible to drive with the car to the hotel. There is also no dedicated parking, so depending where you find a parking spot, you have to carry your luggage through the inner city to the hotel. The rooms are very badly sound-proofed. Not only were we able to hear our neighbors below, above and next to us. Our room was also close to the elevator so we heard it evertytime it was passing our floor or someone pressed the button. The internet speed is not overwhelming. The air-conditioning regularly switches off, which is not a pleasure during hot summer nights. The service from the staff is quite bad and almost non-existent. Everything we asked for, be it to clean the room or to change the wrong passport number in the system - all requests were consequently ignored. The cherry on the cake was the bathroom: the sink was not mounted on the washing table and the condition of the shower is best described as rather disgusting. I have been to public restrooms that were cleaner. For around 90€/night I expected a bit more quality/service/cleaness. Good thing is, all of the above mentioned points can be improved and solved it just needs a bit of will and effort!
