I spent a week at Marmaray Hotel, and while it had its perks, it was pretty average overall. The location is decent with easy access to public transportation, which was great for exploring Istanbul. My room was clean daily, but there were some issues like a lack of coffee supplies and only one functional charging point. The breakfast offered a very Turkish spread, which might not suit everyone's tastes, so I’d recommend considering other dining options nearby.

Rooms

6.0

My room had a double and a single bed, but it could definitely use better electrical access since one socket was just a dummy. Also, the TV reception wasn’t great with only one English channel.

Service

6.0

The reception staff were really nice and welcoming, but the restaurant staff could really use a bit of a smile and some English training for better guest interaction.

Location

7.0

The hotel is tucked away down a side street near Yenikapi Metro station, which made getting around Istanbul super easy. It’s also close to the touristy areas with plenty of shops and markets around.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast was quite varied but very Turkish-focused, with limited options for Western tastes. They had boiled eggs and some other dishes, but if you want something else, expect to pay extra.

Facilities

5.0

I was a bit disappointed to find out that the gym only had two pieces of equipment and there was no pool, even though it was listed as a facility. It was hard to sleep at times due to the noise from the streets and the restaurant above.

I had a rather average experience at Marmaray Hotel. While the cleanliness was commendable and the location offered easy access to public transport, the breakfast options were quite limited and the room services left something to be desired. It could definitely benefit from a few improvements, especially in customer service and offerings.

Rooms

6.0

The room was quite small, perfect for one person but not ideal for two. It had a double bed, a single bed, and a fridge, but only one functional charging point. The room's cleanliness was okay, but some minor details, like the bin not being emptied every day, stood out.

Service

6.0

The staff was friendly, although I wish I had encountered more smiles, especially during breakfast. The reception staff, while nice, could improve on their helpfulness.

Location

7.0

The hotel is located near Yenikapı Metro station, making it easy to explore Istanbul, but the immediate area felt a bit random and not particularly scenic. It was a decent distance to major attractions, taking about 30 minutes to walk to the Hagia Sophia.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast was very Turkish, with limited choice for those who prefer European or American tastes. I enjoyed some aspects, but after a few days, the options felt repetitive, and extra requests for eggs came at an additional cost, which took me by surprise.

Facilities

6.0

Housekeeping was professional, and the overall cleanliness was a highlight, but the limited amenities and room service needs improvement. A few more facilities could really elevate the experience.

My stay at Marmaray Hotel was a mixed experience. The cleaning standards were commendable, and the location was great for accessing public transportation. However, I found the breakfast lacking in variety, and the service in the restaurant could use more warmth. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay, but there are areas for improvement.

Rooms

6.0

The room was comfortable, featuring a double bed, a single bed, and a fridge, but I noticed there was only one working charging point, which was a bit inconvenient. The noise from traffic outside was also noticeable at times.

Service

6.0

The staff were friendly and accommodating, but I felt that they could benefit from a training that encourages more engagement and smiles, especially in the dining area.

Location

8.0

The hotel’s location was handy for getting around Istanbul, with Yenikapı Metro station just a short walk away. It made it easy to access main attractions and explore the city.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast offered a very Turkish menu, which limited options for those with European or American tastes, such as myself. There were lots of cheeses and boiled eggs but not much else. If you prefer more variety, it might be better to opt for room-only.

Facilities

6.0

Overall, the facilities were decent, but the lack of basic amenities like multiple plug points and limited English-speaking staff in the dining area were disappointments.

My stay at the Marmaray Hotel was a mixed bag. While I appreciated the hotel's cleanliness and friendly staff, the breakfast menu left much to be desired. The location was convenient for accessing public transport and exploring Istanbul, but the room had some quirks that made the experience less enjoyable.

Rooms

The room had a double and single bed, along with a fridge and TV, but there was only one working charging point available. Additionally, the room’s style of cleaning was inconsistent, with the bin not emptied one day and coffee not replenished another.

Service

Staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating, greeting me with smiles and offering choices for my room upon arrival. However, the restaurant staff could have benefited from being more engaging.

Location

The location was quite strategic, near the Yenakapi Metro station, making it easy to navigate around the city. It was also close to various shops and amenities, enhancing my stay.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast was predominantly Turkish, with limited options for those with different tastes. Frequent items included boiled eggs and cheeses, but I found the lack of variety restrictive.

Facilities

6.0

Amenities like room service and a 24-hour front desk were nice touches, but the lack of reliable air conditioning was a downside. Overall, the facilities met the basic needs but could use some improvements.

I booked my week at Marmaray Hotel mainly for its proximity to the Champions League final, and it was quite a mixed bag. The hotel was clean, and the staff were friendly enough, but I noticed some things that could use improvement, especially with the breakfast options and room amenities. The location, while near the metro, wasn't the most picturesque, so overall, my stay was okay but not really good.

Rooms

6.0

My room had a double and a single bed, which was decent for space, but I ran into issues with the charging points and TV reception. The bin didn’t get emptied one day, and the air conditioning didn't work properly. It felt a bit cramped and not up to par with the standard I expected.

Service

6.0

The reception staff were nice, but the restaurant staff seemed a bit moody and lacking enthusiasm. I had a few requests that didn't meet my expectations, which was disappointing.

Location

6.0

The location was handy for getting around Istanbul via the Yenikapi Metro, but it felt a bit like a low-end business area. It wasn’t the most beautiful spot, especially for a first-time visitor like me.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast was a bit of a letdown. There wasn't much variety, and the food seemed like it had been sitting out too long. It was very Turkish, but I wish there had been more options to cater to different tastes.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were basic, with room service and housekeeping, but some amenities like air conditioning and daily coffee replenishments could definitely improve. Overall, it felt like the place could use a bit of an upgrade.
