Marmara Pera

Great experience with The Marmara Pera. Excellent location, helpful staff and stunning view from the room.

The good: Location superb. Rooftop terrace with the pool is scenic. Breakfast is amazing. Booked this hotel specifically because of scenic rooftop pool to unwind after a day of exploring. BUT pool is open only until 5:30 pm! Something they should’ve made very clear, both online prior people book and at the check in. Pool is small, and not heated. At 5:30 pm Mikla bar takes over and enforce dress code, forbid outside drinks/food so I you actually want to enjoy sunset at the terrace you have to buy a $30 drink! Again, something that should’ve been made very clear by the hotel before Mikla bar staff embarrassed us by following us around on the patio in effort to kick us out because we came in with with a cup of tea. Rooms are tiny! The hotel is way overpriced for what it is. You pay for the rooftop view and the pool, which you can barely use. My suggestion, book a cheap hotel in the same area without pool, and just come once to their Mikla bar for an overpriced drink and sunset.

Spacious and roomy rooms with large windows that make it very comfortable and bright. Overall clean and equipped with all the welcome kits for both the bathroom and the room. Very kind and friendly staff. Excellent location. It's a pity about the food... but only because we are Italians and had high expectations for the food. Overall very good and recommended. A very positive note for the staff who served us at the table, very kind and helpful.
