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.

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!

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.
