Excellent hotel highly recommended

The location is good because everything is walkable to most places we want to go. To get to the other side of Cross, the gelato bridge is about a 28-minute walk from the hotel. It's also easy to get a taxi around the hotel. If there is no traffic, taking a taxi to your destination is reasonably priced, but make sure to run the meter and not agree to a flat rate. They can overcharge you by 200-300 lira.

We had an amazing stay at The Marmara Pera and would definitely return! The hotel is in a fantastic location, making it incredibly easy to explore Istanbul. It is just a short walk from the Galata Tower and only a few minutes from Karaköy, where you can easily access the tram and the historic funicular—a wonderful experience on its own. Karaköy is also the departure point for ferries to the Asian side of Istanbul, making it very convenient to explore both continents. In addition, it is only a short taxi ride from the pier where many Bosphorus sunset cruises depart, which was one of the highlights of our trip. The hotel is also perfectly located near the famous İstiklal Street, with countless shops, cafés, restaurants, and charming side streets to explore on foot. Our room offered spectacular views, and the panoramic views from the hotel are simply breathtaking. The breakfast was outstanding, with an excellent variety of delicious options. Most importantly, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. We highly recommend The Marmara Pera to anyone visiting Istanbul. It offers the perfect combination of an excellent location, breathtaking views, outstanding breakfast, and exceptional service.

Overall a good stay and good location. It would be nice if they get rid of the carpets in the rooms.

Great over all

Stay away from this hotel. They claim they are a 4 star hotel and they are barely a 2 star. So old and dingy, rooms so small and have a musty smell that is awful. Very outdated and all the pictures online are for the executive rooms only.

Clean rooms. Great location. Very nice breakfast. Good live entertainment at night. Helpful staff.

Great location. Breakfast and amenities.

Great location, friendly staff, excellent rooftop and pool

We liked proximity to that Main street, the tram and subway. Ease of getting a taxi. Our room was nice, bed comfy and room was kept clean. The complementary water, fruits and nuts was very nice and appreciated. Challenges, common areas of the hotel were smoky. The numerous taxis right outside the hotel is problematic trying to get in or out. Checkin was curt and unhelpful. Did not provide any useful information on the hotel or site seeing or maps.
