Great value
Pros:

This is definitely one of the best values you can get anywhere!
The room was spotless and, despite being small, was well organized (and the shower was great!). The staff was extremely friendly, responsive, and helpful. The location was probably the best you can get in Istanbul for a tourist who wants to visit the main attractions. All this for an unbeatable price! Will definitely choose again if I plan to stay again in the European side of Istanbul!

Pros:

A Truly Unforgettable Stay.
The location is perfect, close to everything, and the rooms are clean and comfortable just like the photos. What stood out the most was the exceptional staff; they treat you like a guest in their own home.
Mr. Farhat was extremely professional and helped us choose a wonderful tour that added so much to our experience. Mr. Abdurrahman was also incredibly kind and made us feel very welcome with his warm and friendly manner.
A special thanks as well to the outstanding housekeeping team for their daily care and attention to cleanliness.
I felt safe and completely at ease throughout my stay. I will definitely be coming back to Turkey and to Mara Old City Hotel.

Cons:

Everything is good
