The staff was very informative and helpful. We had just left the premises to fly out when the cab driver got a call from the day manager informing us we had left a piece of jewelry. It was too late to go back so he organized for a taxi to go drop it off at the airport. Anyone else would not have gone above and beyond. I will definitely be going back. Also, there is another facility with a similar name (Marmara House) do not confuse them with this one, especially when using the navigation apps on one's phone.

Beautiful stay at the property, considering it’s situated in old city, property is well managed. Staff was awesome and super helpful, rooms are little bit small but the rooftop patio and breakfast makes up for it. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful stay in Istanbul!

The Marmara Guesthouse was a wonderful place to stay in the neighborhood of Sultanahmet. The staff was pleasant, the breakfast was delicious and the room was comfortable. It was conveniently located to many of historical and cultural highlights as well as being close to public transportation. I highly recommend staying there!

An absolutely lovely stay, the staff is super friendly, helpful, and gave very apt recommendations. The breakfast, both food and dining area are breathtaking, it was one of the best parts of my day. The area was quiet during January, and seemed very safe. Quick walk away from all the best old city Istanbul has to offer. Already planning to stay with them next time in in the city! N.b. Since it is a tourist centered area, we did have some trouble locating cheaper street food within a 10 min radius.
