Historic property, very well maintained. Great location, walking distance to Galataport, in the heart of the port area, where nice shopping, restaurants and bars are located.
The Marriott was located at a great location where it allowed us to walk to either side of Istanbul to the areas we wanted to visit. The hotel and the room were clean and new. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. I would definitely come back again the next time I visit Istanbul
Very nice hotel, friendly staff, good location and great restaurants!

Wonderful stay. The staff was extremely friendly. The hotel is top notch and close to everything for walking or a short car ride. We were on our honeymoon and they provided us a nice welcome cake and allowed us to check in early at no additional cost. Would highly recommend this place.
The location of this hotel was absolutely fabulous and should not be under emphasized. The hotel itself was great. Staff were attentive. The rooms do have some quirkiness to them because it is a renovated soap factory, which is part of the charm. And when you think of that in context, the hotel is that much better. My only two criticisms are the pillows were way too soft and underfilled, which caused an uncomfortable sleep. The second was that it was not possible to get breakfast à la carte, you had to get the entire buffet at $60 which is terrible value, especially when I just wanted three egg omelette.
Incredible stay at the JW Marriott! The service was top-tier from breakfast to the Octo bar. A special thanks to Kerem for the delicious welcome drink and warm greeting. We also really appreciated how responsive and professional guest services were when we reported a smell in our room, they handled it immediately. Highly recommend for the service and the views!
This was an amazing stay and the staff were wonderful.
Without exception each staff member was charming and exceptional. The trip was with my Parents and they took care of us so well that it felt like home.
We would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in Istanbul.
