The staff was very informative and helpful. We had just left the premises to fly out when the cab driver got a call from the day manager informing us we had left a piece of jewelry. It was too late to go back so he organized for a taxi to go drop it off at the airport. Anyone else would not have gone above and beyond. I will definitely be going back. Also, there is another facility with a similar name (Marmara House) do not confuse them with this one, especially when using the navigation apps on one's phone.

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!
