Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Worse hotel experience of my life , the guy in the next room thought it was a good idea to pee in the hall way i opened my door and saw. Despite telling the staff they did nothing. I asked if i could checkout early because of how disgusted and uncomfortable i was staying there after witnessing that and they still would not let me. DO NOT STAY HERE DIRTY DISGUSTING PLACe

Pros:

Мы бронировали на одну ночь, была пересадка в Стамбуле. Выбор был обусловлен близостью к метро, чтобы легко добраться в аэропорт. Найти легко, нас быстро заселили. Исторический центр, историческое здание. Номер небольшой, но нам было достаточно на одну ночь переночевать. Надо понимать, что район очень оживленный, и в этой части города народ не спит ни днем, ни ночью. Но! Хорошая звукоизоляция, кондиционер, с дороги мы устали, поэтому спали отлично! Чистый санузел, полотенца, постельное белье. Полностью соотвествовао ожиданиям, к тому же сочетание цена/качество.

Incomoda
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

Muy ruidoso. Estuvimos en una habitación "deluxe" para tres personas pero apenas habia espacio. Por la noche no se puede dormir por el ruido de la calle, aunque ponga que esta insonorizada no es cierto.

Ingenting var bra. Allt var gammalt och i dåligt skick. Jag rekommenderar verkligen inte detta hotell. Det var en katastrof och det fanns ingen utsikt alls. Jag blev sjuk i det hotell.

Мне очень понравился отель, обязательно приеду сюда в свой следующий визит в Стамбул
Pros:

Отличное место расположения, в самой серенине Истикляля. При этом очень тихо. Окна моего номера выходили на соседнее здание. Уютный, достойный номер. Очень дружелюбная и отзывчивая команда!

Pros:

Esperienza pessima

Cons:

Hanno cancellato la mia prenotazione a poche ore dal check in, mi hanno inviato un messaggio dicendo di non presentarmi in struttura perché non avevano più camere e hanno cancellato anche il transfer che avevo prenotato con loro dall aeroporto all hotel.

Очень скромно но дёшево)
Pros:

Очень хорошее расположение прямо на Истикляль. Очень доброжелательный персонал. Цена низкая

Cons:

Отель бронировали в спешке так как отель который выбрали внезапно отменил бронирование. Все очень скромно, я бы в него не вернулась. Плюс уборка была ужасная - звучит невероятно но в душе на полу лежал окурок и чья-то невидимка🙈 тратить время на разбирательства не хотелось, просто убрали сами, но было неприятно потом находиться, ждала выезда, хорошо через 3 дня нужно было уезжать на острова

Overall, we had an EXCELLENT stay, made especially memorable by the caring staff.
Pros:

The staff at Hotel Mara are exceptionally friendly, helpful, and communicate very well in English. They consistently go out of their way to accommodate guests’ needs and make every effort to ensure a pleasant stay. The facilities in the room are excellent, and having a water dispenser available at reception is a thoughtful and much appreciated touch. A special mention goes to Omit and Mina, who were particularly attentive and kind. I was especially touched by how warm, caring, and affectionate they were with our little 2.9 kg furry baby. It truly made our experience even more memorable.

Cons:

There was a slight smell in the room when we first arrived however, this was addressed immediately, and we were promptly offered a change of room, which we really appreciated, The new room on the top floor was comfortable, with a spacious bathroom, however the bedroom itself was slightly smaller. The situation was handled efficiently thanks to Omit. The rooms on the lower floors did not have this issue, and overall it seems like something that can be easily resolved with the use of air purifiers.
