Clean room, but uncomfortable bed, poor view, disappointing breakfast and a location I did not like.
Pros:

The room was clean.

Cons:

The bed was uncomfortable. I was given a room two floors below, and the view from the window was just a large white wall. I also did not like the location, and the breakfast was disappointing.

Pros:

Je n’ai rien aimé, parce que car je n’ai jamais accéder à l’hôtel, toutes les rues étaient fermées, impossible d’aller jusqu’à l’hôtel

Cons:

L’hôtel était inaccessible par les rues toutes les rues étaient fermées. Impossible de rentrer avec sa voiture, on nous avait dit que y avait un parking privé arrivé là-bas y avait pas de parking. Je suis très déçu.

Great place, awesome location and specially great staff!!
Pros:

I stayed in Marmara hotel for a couple of days, it was a great experience. Very helpful staff, specially Mehdi. I needed to exchange some money and had some troubles with my bank and had a really bad day. Mehdi spent more than an hour helping me figure out the problem with my bank and could eventually exchange my money. It was a relief. This is not something that you get everywhere; this kind of hospitality and kindness. Thank you Mehdi so much for your help and kindness.
