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 place to stay

I had 6 nights at the Marmara Guesthouse and was very happy with everything ! The staff were all friendly, professional and polite. The room was spotlessly clean. (I had a view of the Bosphorus-amazing!!) I had a wonderful stay - would highly recommend this guesthouse!
