Location of the hotel was super excellent

Breakfast was not up to expectations and some of the staff working at restaurant and room service were juniors and not paying enough attention to customers

Pretty good hotel in a strategic location. The room had a nice view and good value for money. Pretty good experience overall.

Not many amenities were provided in the room and very little number of complimentary coffee and water came with the room

Location if fantastic , The hotel is beautiful, it has a nice view of Taksim square and it is near the metro

Relatively small rooms, of course, related to the price you pay, and it is definitely more expensive than neighboring hotels, the ventilation in the bathroom is bad, the room lighting is weak, the bed for two people is not comfortable, and of course the hotel’s answer will be that we are pleased that you stayed in our hotel and we always take customers’ comments seriously and we will do our best

Location was perfect, right in the centre of Taksim square which means there's lots of restaurants serving alcohol around. Some areas of Istanbul are 'dryer' than others. We had a club corner room, meaning we had access to the club lounge for breakfast and happy hour, which we definitely made use of (complimentary local wine, named spirits and hors d'oeuvres which were lovely). We also had a nice breakfast in the lobby restaurant where they have more choice and an omelette station. The pool area was great with a fantastic view over the Bosphorus river and Marmara sea. No onsite pool restaurant but the staff in the pool/spa reception are happy to order you drinks and food from the lobby restaurant which is then brought to you. The Okra restaurant on the top floor was fabulous, they had some very good wines (couldn't see champagne on the menu but when we asked they had a choice), which was lovely. Just be warned that imported wine (for example French, Italian) is extremely expensive. Bottle of Mumm was £130 anywhere in the city and that's just the standard stuff! Local wines are much cheaper though. The Upperist rooftop bar was a lovely touch with a great view but beware it gets very busy on Friday and Saturday nights, mostly young people having a fab time to ambient music. Used the spa, had a couples massage, which was a first for us and enjoyed it immensely. The ladies doing the massage are strong, its not a relaxing thing, but they seem to know what they are doing.

We paid extra for a club corner room so we could use the club lounge, which we have no complaints about at all. But like many hotels, the room wasn't really big enough or didn't really have much useable storage space. The bathroom had no shelves for toiletries or pegs for hanging towels, dressing gowns, etc. The hotel is very nice, the lobby is great and but for the small room and lack of storage, it would have had a higher score. Having said that, I would probably go back.

Incredible hotel with high standards and consistency. Its nice to see institutions that still cares about their reputation and providing a quality service consistently. Hotel was great in every aspect, 5 star hotel. Very comfy bed, pillows and high quality bed sheets. Very clean rooms. Shower was amazing, also high quality shower products provided and topped up daily. Daily top up of free nespresso coffee pods, tea and water. More than enough hangers and a good size wardrobe. Bathrobes provided in the room and we used their spa (free of charge) every day. Their massage packages are also well priced. Their spa was one of the best and tutkish bath (hamam) soo good! We were on our honeymoon and guest relations manager Fatma hanim gave us a room on 17th floor. Rooms have great Istanbul views. They also send us a fruit plate, a red wine and a chocolate which was so thoughtful. Hotel has excellent location and parking + valet service is free of charge for guests. I highly recommend this hotel to any traveler in Istanbul. We will be regulars for sure whenever we are in Istanbul.

Nothing, exceptional hotel with exceptional staff and service.

The location was excellent as very close to the Metro, and to Istiklal street. The room was very spacious with all the necessary amenities. What was beyond my expectation was the upgrade when I came back for a further 2 nights following my trip to Amsterdam. I was at Marmara for 5 days then travelled to Amsterdam, then back to Istanbul for a stopover. I originally booked for a corner room for the stopover as cheaper but was much surprised to be upgraded in a premium room with view on Bosphorus. The staff are very helpful and the breakfast very good. Each time I travelled to Istanbul I will stay at The Marmara and recommend same to my friends and family.

I was offered a free taxi ride from the airport to the hotel on my first stay but to my utter dissatisfaction the taxi was booked for 12.00 on the 8th of May 2024 when my flight reached there at 5.30 am! I sent all my flight details to the hotel as requested by bookings. So where it went wrong, I don't know. I had to pay for the taxi. I wasted much time and international rated calls to the transport agent.

Location was top notch - only 100m walk to Taksim Metro Station. A funicular ride down to the next stop and then a simple tram ride into Sultanahmet is awesome. Also, just come out of the hotel and you're in Taksim Square, or just walk left and you're on Istiklal Cadessi. In the heart of tourism and shopping land. Breakfast - excellent. They had a very good selection of hot foods. Coffee was a little slow to come, but come it did. They had two staff members making fresh eggs anyway you like them. Also a person making fresh pancakes. There are a total of 4 elevators. A security check on entrance. The club rooms come with access to the 19th floor - on which there is a fantastic view from the hotel across the Bosphorous Strait and you can see the Great Horn of Sultanahmet quite easily. Definitely a sight to behold at night.

There wasn't anything I didn't like.

Great location, close to everything , the breakfast was buffet really good, had everything and if something I wanted they would bring it, great staff everywhere, kitchen, house keeping, concierge, what can i cay, perfect

Its istanbul its hard to find a big room, in Bodrum i got the same rate at a resort but the room was double the size ,my brother got a big queen sofa bed but here it was a single sofa bed. But not bad for 2 people, the shower was bath tub, little bit dangerous to go in and out , slippery, and I wish they could change the drawer door knob, didnt have anything to grab and pull just a small dent on one side, still I had to pull it with a towel.

It was wonderful Staying at Marmara Taksim as my intro to Istanbul made me fall in love w Istanbul My room on top floor offered breathtaking views of Blue Mosque, Taksim Sq n Bosphorus River. Day time view was amazing, nighttime was magical. i loved theamenities inc gym with a view of Blue Mosque n Taksim Square, outdoor pool w views, Spa and sauna. I liked that the in room facilities included everything i would need eg shampoo, conditioner, body lotion and amenities kit, hairdryer, ironing board. The location at Taksim Square was very convenient for tram, metro station and Istiklal St The check-in manageress was very professional and lovely and she accommodated my requests for room with view ( as it was my birthday) and ensured my stay went smoothly ( including storage of luggage and late checkout). I loved staying at Marmara Taksim, I didn't want to leave. in fact, I'm going back to stay there next month.

All good

My wife and I stayed at Taksim Marmara for 5 days and it was amazing. The location is great so easy access to everything and rooms are very comfortable. We chose to have breakfast everyday at the hotel (highly recommend it). Service was great and people were attentive. Special THANKS to Orhan, Havva Nur , Esra and Efe for their great customer service and being so helpful and attentive, people like them make this place wonderful and special, highly recommend it.

Nothing all good
