Marmara Pera was in a great location, but not worth any expensive rates in my opinion. The hotel rooms were quite small, especially for family. but they were clean and comfortable otherwise. The hotel is perfectly located near Istiklal street, maybe a 10-15 minute walk to Taksim square. A cab ride to the Grand bazaar and Sultanahmet area didn't take... more

We stayed in the Marmara Pera Hotel for 4 nights last week when visiting Istanbul, and it was really a good choice. It's located only 100m from Istikal Caddesi, the main avenue of the modern Istanbul, which offers a huge choice of bars, coffee shops, restaurants, clubs and connections with public transportations (underground and funicular). The rooms are something like... more

Its not too hard to get to. in front of the turkish radio and tv station, with a taxi rank infront of it, just off istiklal caddesi, plenty of restaurants and shops around the corner. most rooms have a view of some sort. we were lucky to have a high floor. views were towards the north. bathroom was unsual in... more

I stayed at this hotel at 2006 (after two weeks its grand opening) The hotel was new and everything seems ok. The rooms, view are good. However the hotel did not have car parking area. I came to hotel with my car, the doormen open the my door and ask if I need to park. I said "yes, I am... more

Very nice hotel with excellent service and clean rooms. We booked a room with the view on Bosphorus. The only thing that we did not like so much was a smaller than we expected room. Breakfast was not included and would cost for over 20 euros per person. more

Comfort bed, nice view, near walking street, good taxi services BUT very bad information providers. Most of concierges are not honest to provide the direct information. They always sell their tours / contract agency although we do not need. The recommendation always unbelievable due to the information always totally different from other sources. It looks like they have some contracts... more

This hotel is in a great location...you can walk to the shopping district and easily get around from here. Rooftop lounge and pool are fabulous and had one of the best meals in Istanbul at the Mikla Restaurant! Rooms are in a funky, minimalist style. more

This really is a well located but very overpriced 3 star hotel, and not a well maintained one at that. The staff were friendly, but all seemed inexperienced and incapable of doing anything and no one follow up on our complaints as promised. The rooms are modern in design and very small, especially the bathroom, which was finished in cheap... more
