The Marmara Taksim offers stunning views of Istanbul and a prime location near Taksim Square, making it a perfect base for exploring the city. However, my initial experience with the front desk was less than ideal, which cast a shadow over my stay, though the warm treatment I received from other staff members improved the situation significantly.

I stayed in a Corner Double Room with a captivating view over Taksim Square. While the room itself was clean and well-maintained, it was smaller than I anticipated, and the bathroom felt a bit cramped. Despite this, the views more than compensated for the room's size.

The service was a mixed bag. My check-in experience got off to a rocky start with a somewhat stern receptionist, but thankfully, the friendliness and attentiveness of the other staff members, especially Ertan and Murat, turned things around and made me feel special during my stay.

My stay at The Marmara Taksim was incredibly pleasant overall. The location was right in the heart of Taksim Square, making it easy to explore the city. I experienced some inconsistency in service, particularly from a few staff members, but most were cordial and professional. The dining options were a delight, though I felt there could be more European-style choices.

I stayed in a Club Corner Room with a city view, which was spacious and well-equipped. The room had all the essentials, though I found the storage space lacking (the bathroom could use more shelves!). Overall, the views from my room were fantastic, overlooking the bustling square and providing a great atmosphere.

While most of the staff were friendly and attentive (shout out to Abbas and Ece!), I did have a frustrating experience with the housekeeping team when I requested help with my luggage. Fortunately, the front office manager stepped in to resolve the issue, but that inconsistency in service was a bit disappointing.

The dining options at the hotel were diverse and satisfying, particularly the breakfast buffet which included an omelet station and fresh fruits. However, I felt some dishes could be adjusted more to European tastes. I thoroughly enjoyed the rooftop bar and the Okra restaurant, though I was surprised by the cost of imported wines.

The hotel offers great facilities including laundry and valet services. The pool area was a lovely spot to unwind, complete with stunning views. I also indulged in a couples massage at the spa, which was a fantastic experience, although not as relaxing as I'd expected (the therapists certainly knew what they were doing).
