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 small hotel! Super clean facilities, helpful staff, great breakfast each morning with plentiful options. Bed was more comfortable than I expected. Only an 8-10 minute walk to Topkapi, Hagia Sofia and all nearby.

We had a great 7 night stay at this clean and convenient guesthouse. The breakfast is even more amazing than it looks in the photos and the terrace was a perfect place for an afternoon break with a bottle of wine. Highly 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!

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!

The guesthouse was very central to major sites in old Istanbul. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was varied for all diets and the dining area had a beautiful view of the Bosporus. We very much enjoyed our stay.

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.

The staff needs a basic Hospitality training session. That needs to teach them from welcoming guests and making their life easier.The room's dont give you even free drinking water! The drinks in the mini fridge are over priced! The stairs are very tight and with very low ceiling and if you are above 5.8' you will hit your head!! Funny enough no staff will warmn you.
