my experience was exceptional. The staff were extremely warm and were more than hospitable. They went out of their way to make sure that all of my needs were met. Truly out of this world. I felt comfortable and felt like I was in good hands. I also had an opportunity to meet the owner and the owner sons. Not surprisingly, the owner and the owner’s sons were all amazing and one even recommended a local spots for me to try. One of the sons actually walked me to a local restaurant and the food was delicious. He even recommended a great desert place and a great tourist attraction for me to try afterwards. I honestly cannot say enough great things about this place or the people that work here. There are a lot of hotels that you can choose from in Istanbul- but this place really goes out of their way to make you feel at home. I mean in what other hotel would the owner’s and his sons not only personally greet you - but physically walk you to a place for you to check out? Also, this hotel is near a bunch of historic landmarks and all within walking distance. The train station is also nearby along with several metro options so it is incredibly convenient to travel to places. I traveled Istanbul by myself from the United States and so location, safety, and warmth were all important for me. I found this at this at the Marius hotel. pro tip: this hotel also let me store my luggage after my check out so I could explore the city without the burden of having to carry it around for FREE. Amazing!

Location was excellent and the staff were amazing and very helpful. Hotel is brand new so that was a bonus.

Shower needs to have a small shelf to hold soap, shampoo etc. Now it has to stay on the floor. Would be nice if room has more cupboard space as the open plan system not the most practical.

hotel location is perfect everything by is near by and a walking distance, staff were lovely and helpful.

the hotel is on a service main road where there is no parking area for pick up and drop off which makes it difficult for families while coming/going to airport with all the luggage. the hotel is in a busy space where construction was going on during our visit and was quite annoying because it was always starting at night when people were trying to sleep.

The hotel had been a very good host to us. The location is almost perfect to the nearest attractions. The biggest advantage was the train station. If anyone is coming via train from Sabiha Gokcen airport to the hotel, this hotel is just 3 mins from station. Amazing ambiance! Amazing staff! Mr. Mustafa, Mr. Abdul had been a verg good source of help and support throughout the trip. Simply just loved it!

I am travelling like all the time because of my work, and I really like to stay in the city center. I walked to everywhere from Marius hotel, I mean everywhere is just walking away :) I think this hotel is just opened and it was extremely clean, and the room was cleaned every day. The staff knows a lot about the touristic places and they helped me a lot, thank you for that.

A welcoming hotel with friendly and welcoming staff who are always ready to help, taking care of all your needs. The hotel is clean and comfortable with exceptional breakfast. The location is close to all the tourists attractions and restaurants with rooftop views of the city. Overall I would 100% recommend this hotel. A special thank you for Mr Baris who works the night shift. He made our stay that much more enjoyable. A respectful and hard working individual who catered for our needs, sometimes late into the night and early morning. A stand-up man who is proud of what he does. Thank you!

Breakfast was amazing, if you come earlier, you'll get bigger variety of meals, but if you sleep in and come later, you can ask guys to cook, for example, an omelet. Location is super nice, you are located 10 mins walk from Hagia Sofia, 10 mins away from the Bosporus, 10 mins away from Egyptian Bazar, 20 mins away from Grand Bazar. Also, there are many options to travel via public transport, as all stations are located nearby. Room might feel small-ish to someone, but I'm not travelling to stay in the hotel room, so it didn't matter to me at all. Overall, this hotel is fresh, and design of interiors is modern, stylish. But most important is the hotel stuff, they did amazing job, they were incredibly nice, friendly and helpful at any moment of day or night. Big thanks to them for making our stay a pleasant memory.

The view to the inner yard is not nice at all, don't expect anything if you get a room with such view. But on the other side, it was really quite and calm, you don't hear the street rush.

Location are excellent and the staff were amazing and very helpful. Room was comfortable and have everything we needed for our four night stay. Location is very central and close to the ocean to get to other places by ferry, tram, or other public transport. The location is very convenient with shops and restaurants surrounding the hotel and important sights are all within walking distance. The biggest advantage was the train station. Anyone is coming via train from Sabiha Gokcen airport to the hotel, this hotel is just 3 mins from station.

My first and great experience started while booking the hotel actually, I had some questions and I directly messaged through WhatsApp and Nejdet assist me with all questions and even helped me arrange taxi from airport . Well , I loved the way we felt there. As I stayed with my parents the staff there let us feel like we were home and always welcomed us with warm gestures . The hotel located in amazing location where you can walk to every destination you are interested. Hotel is super new and breakfast was amazing, thanks to ladies who took care of us and to Azat from reception Yunus . They were all helpful and nice always suggesting places to visit and where to eat dinner . My parents were super happy and we would love to go back soon. Thank you for whole team and especially management where also there to check on us . I would highly recommend the hotel .

Prime Location (★★★★★) Hotel Marius enjoys a prime location in Istanbul. It's conveniently situated just a stone's throw away from the Sirkeci Metro Station, making it easy to access various parts of the city. Additionally, it's a mere 10-minute walk to the Eminönü Port, a hub for boat trips along the Bosphorus and to the Asian side of Istanbul. This central location was perfect for me as a solo traveler, allowing me to easily explore the city's historic sites.

My room was well-equipped, and I appreciated the attention to detail in the hotel's design and furnishings. It provided a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Minor Language Barrier (★★★☆☆) One minor drawback was that not all staff members spoke fluent English. However, we were able to communicate effectively through a combination of basic English and non-verbal cues, which did not significantly impact my overall experience.
