“Very good business option”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

I travel to Istanbul on business about 3 times a year. I have stayed at a variety of places. This time, I got a good rate at the Marmara Taksim, so I gave it a try. I was very pleased with the hotel. The location is excellent - right on Taksim Square so you can get to various parts of town and it is across the street from the subway. The room was a bit dated, but comfortable, with wonderful views. The true selling point was the staff: by far the friendliest and most helpful I have ever seen in Istanbul. And in a place where customer service is friendly, that is saying a lot. Everyone at this hotel was wonderful. I will stay there again.

“Noisy Taksim Square”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

It's a good hotel, to me it's a good 4* though, not 5.
It was clean.
Room was big for standard category.
The conciege staff was very helpful.
The bed was not very comfortable. I would give it 3*.
Bath tub was a bit old, the drain had problems.
The hotel's location was not an advantage. not sure if there's a police starion or a hospital in the area, but we couldn't sleep from the constant siren and that was a real issue when we returned to the hotel tired and in need of good rest.
I won't stay at this hotel again. good rest is important for me.
