The Marmara Pera

The The Marmara Pera is located very near to the happening istiklal cd - but a rather congested area. Though the The Marmara Pera is branded as 4 star - the rooms are 3 star at best - but if you stay here it's better to pay more and book the upper floor sea view rooms. The standard rooms are quite small for the price and doesn't even have a proper surface to open your suitcases on. The daytime views are mostly rooftops of nearby buildings and the golden horn and bosphorus at a distance- but the views transforms at nighttime - when the skyline lights up! the terrace has a superb view but unfortunately is barred at night - you have to request the rooftop restaurant staff to allow you to the top. The breakfast spread is standard star The Marmara Pera spread, but on ground floor rather than on the terrace. There is a taxi booth adjacent to the The Marmara Pera, so getting a taxi isn't a problem! the central sultanahmet area is also easily accessed by public transport - 5 mins walk to the tunnel station where the funicular will take you to karakoy, where you can catch the tram - 4 stops to sultanahmet! plenty of eateries all around with kebap ships, roadside eateries, highend restaurants, conveniencestores, shopping, liq-our stir-es- everything you want within 2 mins - in fact it may be good value not to book the breakfast included option, as one will be spoil t for choice of eating options all around! staff are friendly, but has the 5 star air about them. Do visit the terrace ( they also have a pool there, but we couldn't use it in october) for a grand view of the golden horn, bosphorus and even the marmara sea.

It was my second stint at the The Marmara Pera within six days of my previous departure which says a lot. I went to pamukkale and alacati for 4 days and returned to istanbul for my flight back home and decided to spend another night at the great property. Thanks.

Right from check to check out that is 5 days of stay everything was flawless. The staff very warm and cordial. Being a vegetarian there was no disappointment in the buffet breakfast as well. Highly recommended for everything including the most apt location also.

Fantastic location and very helpful front desk - special shoutout to gorkem. They are slow to respond on email but once we were there we faced zero issues. Taxi stand right outside and istiklal 5mins walk. Clean and nice rooms though bathrooms were tiny.

Fabulous location, accessible to cabs, shopping walking distance to many locations, lovely The Marmara Pera and breakfast, very friendly and warm welcome by staff

A very pleasant stay. They gave us a very beautiful city view room with a bottle of wine and some treats.

Between tasty and old town where the monuments are located.

Everything was perfect in the The Marmara Pera, but the will charge you on ever thing and the staff will keep s tearing at you to give them money, over all good The Marmara Pera stay and i will book again.
