Marmara Guesthouse

We are leaving the room today, I am writing a review right away. The place is excellent - the location of the hotel is very convenient, everything is at hand, in 3 days we walked around all the sights, went to the other side of the Golden Horn, transport is close. The hotel is located in a busy area, but there is a dead end and there are no tourists at all, it is very quiet and calm. There are many cafes around, the prices are the same everywhere, so I recommend a decent place Seafront - this is a restaurant and a good-level hotel with the same prices as downstairs, but the food is tastier and more decent. Wine is expensive everywhere, in March 2025 1000 rubles per glass. The hotel is small, but we found it quickly, it is on the map, it is very compact inside, but 2 people were comfortable. We took a room on the 1st floor next to the reception, it is normal, but there is a washing machine under the windows, they turn it on at 9 am, you can hear it a little. There is a radiator, it is not cold. The bed linen is fresh, the pillow and mattress are comfortable, after a whole day of walking we slept like babies. Cleaning every day. Breakfast is more than good: tea and coffee all day free on the terrace, olives, fresh vegetables, pickled vegetables, pastries, dried fruits, jam, Nutella, 2 types of eggs, fried potatoes, cereal, yogurt every day. There were even pancakes. The view from the terrace is super, the Bosphorus and the ships ❤️ in the evenings we sat and looked at the sea with a cup of coffee. The staff is very polite, speaks English, greets in Russian.

I chose the hotel based on the maximum number of positive reviews and the absence of negative ones (objectively) over the past six months. The only downside is the small rooms, but this is normal for old buildings. Check-in is quick, reception is friendly. The room was on the second floor, the stairs are narrow, but this is also standard for Istanbul. The room is very warm and light, the bed linen and towels are snow-white. The bed and pillows are comfortable. There is a refrigerator, no kettle in the room. Slippers and shampoo in the bathroom. A special love is the terrace on the 4th floor 😍. The view is gorgeous, the breakfasts are excellent, every day something from the dishes changes. A lot of different pastries. A nice bonus is that the terrace is open until late in the evening, where you can enjoy free tea, coffee, lemonade throughout the day. Attractions are a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

It was wonderful! Cozy room with a window and a soft bed, excellent cleaning every day, friendly staff answered all questions. No problems arose, we slept well and rested. Special love - the terrace with an incredible view of the Bosphorus🤍 Delicious breakfasts and unlimited coffee and tea throughout the day. Thank you! I will come back again ☺️

Small hotel. Small rooms. Breakfasts are tolerable. Excellent view from the common veranda.
