The Marmara Pera

The Marmara Pera

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 6nights at The Marmara Pera Hotel and the kids loved it. The staff were very professional, welcoming and helpful. Mustafa did a great job ensuring our rooms were clean, tidy and well maintained. The location is amazing, just 2mins away from Istiklal Avenue, and 10mins walk away from major landmarks like the Galata Tower and approx. 30-35mins from the Mosques. The views from the room were amazing with the large windows allowing for a great snapshot of the beautiful Istanbul landscape. Would highly recommend."
