The hosts are very nice and helpful. The hotel is close to the main attractions and surrounded by nice restaurants. A highlight is the breakfast on the terrace with a beautiful view on the Bosporus. In sum: a perfect place to stay!.

“Top choice for comfort and hospitality”
Marmara Guest House is the best place to stay in Turkey. Everything is prepared with love, from the harmony of the space to the comfort of the rooms. The rooms are clean, and the staff is kind, welcoming, helpful, and always smiling. Breakfast is varied, delicious, and served on time. A special thanks to the best, Mansour, the receptionist, for his professionalism and kindness.

The guy at the reception was very polite and helpful, we had a small emergency during our stay and he helped with calling a taxi driver and organising our trip.

So thoughtfully set up. Clean and the food was delightful & delicious! Amazing view from the dinning room. The staff were kind and helpful. It is a warm & welcoming little guesthouse. We had an early flight and a plate of food had been prepared for our early breakfast.
