Wonderful stay in Istanbul!

The Marmara Guesthouse was a wonderful place to stay in the neighborhood of Sultanahmet. The staff was pleasant, the breakfast was delicious and the room was comfortable. It was conveniently located to many of historical and cultural highlights as well as being close to public transportation. I highly recommend staying there!

Beautiful stay at the property, considering it’s situated in old city, property is well managed. Staff was awesome and super helpful, rooms are little bit small but the rooftop patio and breakfast makes up for it. Would definitely recommend.

We loved our stay at Marmara! It was super close to all the Old City attractions but off on a small, quieter side street. Although our room was small, the terrace was a nice place to hang out/relax, and the staff was extremely kind and helpful. The breakfast spread every morning was great, too!

I had 6 nights at the Marmara Guesthouse and was very happy with everything ! The staff were all friendly, professional and polite. The room was spotlessly clean. (I had a view of the Bosphorus-amazing!!) I had a wonderful stay - would highly recommend this guesthouse!

Great Place To Stay in Istanbul

This guesthouse is very close to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace etc. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The breakfast is wonderful and we enjoyed the views from the Terrace which is the dining room. There are a lot of stairs but the room was comfortable and we thoroughly recommend this guesthouse.
