I stayed at The Marmara Pera 4 nights with my partner. The main reason we chose this hotel was that it has an outdoor pool. However, the pool is an odd triangle shape and is so small, it is impossible for an adult to swim in it. This was a big let down. The hotel in general needs serious renovation as the decor and furniture are quite outdated. We stayed at a city view room for 2 people. The bed was too wide (2 meters, I think) which occupied a large area in our not so big room. Our room did not have enough power outlets to charge our devices. There were no power outlets by the bed.The bathroom door was a swinging door which did not provide proper privacy.The bath tub was high and small.The shower head was positioned as high as the ceiling allows however it was not high enough for someone taller than 175cm. The room curtains did not close properly and we noticed that too late the 1st night. When reported the next day, they took immediate action however the curtains were still tad bit smal for the windows and did not completely block the light. We like our sleeping room dark so we woke up with the first lights of the day. In the night, we were kept awake by the music outside as the hotel is situated at a lively area.The room service was good.Our room was clean at our arrival and was cleaned to perfection during our stay.
Hotel is situated close to a metro station (step down at Şişhane,take the exit Beyoğlu Bld.) There are nice cafes, restaurants a small supermarket close by.
