The Marmara Taksim Istanbul

"The service and personnel were really thoughtful and helpful. The hotel is in the center of Taksim and its close to everywhere. Special thanks to Bedriye from housekeeping."

"The hotel staff and location were really good. We had an incredible breakfast experience thanks to Ercan chef, the chef in the breakfast room. This is not possible in every hotel."

"We stayed at Marmara Taksim on our last 2 days in Turkey. We arrived late at night and our check in went smoothly, however when we got to our room there were no amenities aside from a shower cap and the safe was not working. When I went to the reception the next morning the staff was useless and cold and offered no sympathy or reason for why these simple items were not adequately taken care of before we arrived. In fact, the staff made me feel as though I was asking too much of them. The next day we left the hotel and when we returned, our room had been cleaned but our bottled water, glasses and mugs had not been replaced. So again, I had to follow up on these missing items. For the price that we paid for this hotel, we thought these were callous oversights. A hotel which is advertised as having a very high standard should know that it all comes down to the small touches and efficient client service. This hotel sadly lacks in that department as there is no attention to detail. Do not choose this hotel, rather go for one of the many boutique hotels that provide better service and have much better value for your money."
