The value for money at this charming hotel was excellent, and the room was comfortable and inviting. The location was perfect, within walking distance to all the sites we wanted to see, yet still quiet. The staff at Marmara Guesthouse were extremely courteous and helpful, making our stay truly pleasurable.

I had a truly amazing stay at a guesthouse in the heart of the historical district. The location was perfect for exploring all the must-visit attractions, such as Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, just a short walk away. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable experience, from helping with local transit to arranging airport transfers. The rooms were spotless and cozy, providing a comfortable retreat after a long day of sightseeing. The highlight was definitely the rooftop terrace with breathtaking views of the city, where I enjoyed a delicious Turkish breakfast each morning. I highly recommend this guesthouse for its excellent service, convenient location, and homely atmosphere.
