The Marmara Pera

We love The Marmara Pera when we are in Istanbul. The location can‘t be any better, the rooms are not the newest but clean and they have an amazing view if you book rooms on the higher floors. The team is great, very friendly and helpful, the breakfast buffet offers everything you need from fresh fruits to various cheese and vegetable options, joghurt, eggs etc. And also the room service and house keeping is doing a great job, thanks for everything. We‘ll come back again,.

I had a wonderful stay at The Marmara Pera! The hotel is stylish, comfortable, and perfectly located in the heart of Istanbul. The staff were very welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. But what truly makes this place special is the Sky Bar — the view is absolutely breathtaking! Watching the sunset over the city and the Bosphorus from the rooftop is an experience I’ll never forget. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, and the cocktails were excellent. Highly recommend this hotel, especially if you want to enjoy one of the best panoramic views in Istanbul!

The location of the hotel is superb, you can walk to restaurants, stores, bars and take the transportation to the old city. The hotel is very clean and upper floors are very quiet. Great customer service, from the front desk, restaurant and housekeepers. They are all attentive and responsive to your needs. Highly recommended. It a newer hotel and it is beautiful. The views at top are spectacular. The bar is not run by the hotel but you can go and enjoy the view.

One of the nice hotels in Pera, Istanbul. Their service and food are top-notch for what they are charging. They have a pretty nice lobby and eating area, especially the food variety they offer. The view from the room is crazy, you can see the whole city skyline. Especially during sunrise and sunset, it looks splendid.

The rooms with sea view have an amazing scenery. Rooms are clean. The reception and service staff are friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself is like a museum there is something to see on every wall. We were very happy with our stay. Thank you.

Roof top pool has stunning views but is tiny and has only 4 sunbeds. Location is good, within very easy walk of shops, restaurants and trams. If going up and down the hill (especially up!) using the Tunel is highly recommended. It is the 2nd oldest underground railway. Short run but that hill is really steep! Hotel is comfortable and staff are generally helpful and pleasant. Breakfast is plentiful and the food is good!

Nice hotel in a great central location near eateries, bars and sites. Close to good transport links. Room was a bit hot at night and it was noisy with the window open. Shower wasn’t great. Jazz bar looked enticing but drinks were a bit pricey. Service was good and housekeeping was great, providing ergonomic pillows on request.

The best advantage of this hotel is its location, next to restaurants and bars. Heart of Istanbul. However, for those who value peace and quiet, this can also be a drawback, as in the evenings there is a lot of music and noise, especially noticeable on the first floor (it may be quieter on higher levels). The hotel itself is fairly clean, well-kept, and relatively new compared to many others in Istanbul.Breakfast is definitely worth including – it’s excellent, with a wide variety of fresh options, Turkish tea and coffee, and even made-to-order omelets. Staff don’t rush you out when breakfast time ends, and they keep replenishing dishes, which is a big plus.On the downside, the reception could be friendlier, and the staff’s English level is quite limited. For example, when we requested extra bedding, room service brought us fries instead. Additionally, in September the rooms were cold, and unfortunately only the air conditioning worked – the heating did not.The restaurant downstairs, Pera 77, offers live music in the evenings. In our case, the singer was late, performed only a few songs, then took a break and never returned before we left. Food quality was mixed: the soup and cheese platter were good, but the steak was tasteless and the fries soggy.Overall, the hotel is a good option if you want a lively location with outstanding breakfasts, but be aware of noise and some service limitations.
