The Marmara Pera Hotel garners praise for its prime location, which makes sightseeing a breeze and offers guests easy access to major attractions. While the hotel's rooftop amenities and panoramic views receive positive attention, some visitors mention drawbacks such as limited pool hours and noise.
The rooms are generally appreciated for their cleanliness and comfort, with the added bonus of captivating views, though a few guests point out size and maintenance issues. The service quality receives mixed reviews, with most finding the staff friendly and efficient, but a handful of travelers encountering less-than-professional behavior.

When I checked in on Friday evening I was told my payment didn't go through at the desk. I was then asked to pay either €50 or 300tl cash as a deposit instead with no explanation as to why. This request was quickly withdrawn when I showed the person behind the desk my banking app, confirming my payment for the room had actually gone through.
At 8.40am on Sunday morning I was woken to the sound of someone fiddling with the lock outside my door. When I called out to question what was going on, they said it was housekeeping and told me I needed to checkout despite checkout being open until 12pm. I also had a Do Not Disturb sign hanging from my door. Less than five minutes later someone from reception rang my room phone to ask if I had ordered breakfast (I hadn't). I don't know how disorganised you have to be to start ringing rooms at random to ask if they ordered breakfast, or wake them to check out before 9am.
The hotel is in a great location, close to lots of lovely cafes, restaurants and shops. There is a significant level of noise pollution late at night as the hotel is so close to several bars and nightclubs, which I felt was to be expected given the location. The 'Superior Room with City View' looks out on to a large carpark and a city skyline in the far distance, which was a little underwhelming. The room itself was clean but a little cramped.
There is a fabulous restaurant and rooftop bar which are located at the top of the hotel building and not affiliated with the hotel. I would highly recommend visiting the restaurant but would advise against staying in the hotel itself .

The hotels location was great and they had a great selection for open buffet breakfast. However, the size of the room including the bathroom was tiny. The walls of the rooms are not sound proof either so we could hear our neighbors talking, going to the toilet, taking a shower which wasn’t very pleasant. I wasn’t pleased with the hotel asking for a valet parking fee. The staff were generally kind and well mannered and also assisted us with providing a cot for our 10 month babygirl

Comfortable, clean rooms with a fabulous view of the city and a huge breakfast buffet! The concierge and manager were very helpful in providing recommendations for dining, city tours & spas. The location was perfect for walking to shopping areas, restaurants and public transit (T/bus). I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

We visited Istanbul/Taksim area for the Christmas vacation as a family & we had a really pleasant experience at The Marmara Pera Hotel (we stayed there for 7 nights).
By far, the best hotel in the area. We stayed in the 1701 suite, really clean/new room, astonishing view & an amazing service.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that the receptionists were really kind, helpful & extremely friendly (we felt like home). Thank you! - Mouawad Family

We booked this room from Expedia since it had the VIP status for the expedite gold member. We wanted to get the early check-in, and we sent a request in advance!!! But they didn't give us an early check-in unless we upgrade our room for a fee, and I told them based on our Expedia gold stat we should get a free upgrade, but they refused, although it was offered to us when we made this booking. And now they are saying that they never had the 20% airport transfer off for Expedia gold members!!!
I think Expedia should remove the VIP statues from this property.
But other than Expedia VIP perks that they don't offer although keeping the stat in their offerings, everything else is great, especially the location and their staff and their rooftop pool is a piece of heaven on earth. We were welcomed by Ibrahim Cetin, who took all the opportunities to make our trip great.

I stayed in this hotel for 9 nights a month ago. Considering that I had read the comments about this hotel, I thought I would have a good stay. But unfortunately, as soon as I entered, I realized that I made a mistake. When I arrived, I saw that the staff there gave 3 girls rooms on the upper floors and instead forced them to leave a positive comment on Google for this hotel and forced them to leave a comment right there!! Well, now you can guess where the positive comments come from!!! They gave us a room on the first floor and made us wait for hours in the lobby and treated us very badly and racist. Don't be fooled by the photos of this hotel, because these views can only be seen on the upper floors and towards the sea. Breakfasts are served in a small space compared to the number of guests and are extremely repetitive and poorly varied. Almost all the staff of this hotel are grumpy and rude. This is very annoying especially when you go for breakfast. Value yourself and don't choose this hotel!

Genuinely one of the worst hotels I’ve stayed at. Located opposite a nightclub/bar, you have thumping loud music until 1am every single night (including Sunday’s and Monday’s) meaning I couldn’t sleep at all, despite being on a work trip and having to get up early every day. Rooms were distinctively average and musty, with the air-con not working and the breakfast coffee being watery rubbish from a machine. So expensive for what it is and feeling like you’re in a nightclub is not the one. Would not recommend.

We stayed there last month and really liked the hotel...but no one told us about the roof swimming pool! It might have been too chilly to use, as we were there at the beginning of April.
There are more places to choose from in the Istanbul area.
