"My experience at the Mara Hotel in Istanbul, located just a few steps from Istiklal Street, was far from pleasant. I had originally booked a single room, but what I encountered didn't resemble a proper room. It seemed more like a converted space that might have once served as a doghouse or storage. The room was outdated, and the odor was reminiscent of a dirty public restroom in a remote location. I was left utterly speechless, questioning how they could offer such accommodations to guests. I strongly advise against placing too much trust in their ratings; it feels like a scam. Reluctantly, I declined the initial room and accepted a double bed room for an additional fee. Unfortunately, it was in a similar state, albeit slightly larger, with a double bed adorned with a dirty sheet riddled with hair and stains. The floor was equally grimy with dust and dirt. Whether or not you decide to give it a try, my personal experience was less than satisfactory. Cheers." هموطن عزیزی که قصد داری اطاقی در این هتل برای اقامت در استانبول بگیری. پیشنهاد میکنم اینکار رو نکنی. قبل از این سفر من در ایران بودم بنابراین سفرم رو از طریق یک آژانس داخلی در ایران برنامه ریزی و رزرو کردم. شاید به این خاطر اینگونه رفتار کردند. چون فقط چند روزی بیشتر از یکماه قبل از این سفر من باز استانبول بودم ولی با پاسپورت دیگه ام و رزرویشن و پرداخت از کشور دیگه ای. هتلی که گرفته بودم با اینکه ارزونتر از این یکی برام تموم شد ولی بسیار تمیزتر و مرتبتر با پرسنل حرفه ای و مودب بود. اطاقی که در این سفر برای من رزرو شده بود مثلا یک اطاق تک نفره بود. ولی واقعا اطاق نبود. بیشتر شبیه لونه سگ یا انباری بود که به مثلا اطاق تبدیل شده بود. تمام چیزهایی که داشت کهنه مندرس و خراب بودند. بوی تعفن مثل توالتهای سرراهی خیلی کثیف داشت. به عددهای ریتینگشون یا تعریفهایی که مثلا مسافرهای دیگه نوشتند توجه نکنید. کلاهبرداریه و مطمئنا از خوداشون روی سایت رفتند و امتیاز دادند. بهرحال با اعتراض من یه اطاق مثلا دونفره با یه تخت دبل در ازای پرداخت بیشتر بهم دادند که اون هم شبیه قبلی بود فقط مقداری بزرگتر بود با ملافه هایی کثیف پر از مو و لکه هایی که نمیدونم خون بود یا چیزهای دیگه روش. روی زمینش هم پر بود از خاک و کثافت . در کل این انتخاب شماست که اونجا برید و خودتون تجربه کنید . ولی برای من بیشتر شبیه یک کابووس بود. موفق باشید.

This hotel helped me when my previous booking in Istanbul was cancelled when I arrived. The hotel is a budget hotel which is very well located very close to Taxim. It is fine for a short break. The staff are really nice and helpful.

+ Friendly hosts +- location - very center but very crowded. Depends on what you need + window (at least mine) directs into inner yard, so it's quiet at night + bad is okay - it was comfortable to sleep - no blankets - big towel instead of it - one window with 'beautiful' view to the wall - quiet depressive and dark room -- very thin walls - it'll be hard to sleep if somebody talk loudly in the room next to you -- room conditions: bad. Everything is old, looks dirty - it's not pleasant to stay in. So I'd say you'll like it if center location is important for you and you don't pay too much attention to room condition.

If you are reading this review, then you are looking for accommodation in Istanbul. The hotel is located on the main street, which is very convenient to explore the city. Very polite staff, recommended attractions and offices where to buy bus tickets, gave water, tea, coffee, set up the Internet. Special thanks to Rosa for the recommendations and help ☺️ If you do not smoke, check if there are non-smoking rooms, there are problems with this in Turkey, it smells everywhere. Regarding the price, the quality is a very good place!
