Very good location, very nice family. A bit noisy the rooms on the backside.

We had some nice days in Istanbul at Marmara Guesthouse and will definitely come back. We had a very small double with shared facilities (which was ok), we would recommend a double en suite. These rooms seemed to be nicer.

This was the perfect place to rest while in Istanbul. Just off the main drag, enough so that it was quiet but within an easy walking distance. The owners really make you feel like part of the family!

The guesthouse was full when we turned up and they moved us to another hotel for one night. Apart from this, it was a nice place to stay - the staff were helpful.

Great place. Unfortunately the power was off the whole time, but we were given a discount. This was due to a cable fault in Istanbul rather then the hostels fault!

I really felt that your hostel was totally lacking in any atmosphere.

These comments apply to the new sister hotel we were moved to which was more spacious though less central than the Marmara

The family that run the place were lovely. There wasn't the party atmosphere whıch some of the other hostels ın the same area had but ıt suıted us as we were sımply usıng ıt as a place to sleep. It was clean and we had a lovely vıew from the terrace. I would stay there again.
