Marida Residence - Istanbul Taksim

the location is really good and very kind staff

the shower needs a little bit of fixing and the towels had some stains on them

Perfect — here’s your updated hotel review including your 2-night stay and the I stayed at Marida Hotel for two nights and had a truly pleasant experience. The hotel is in a great location, right near Taksim Square, which made it easy to explore Istanbul — everything was within walking distance or a short ride away. The room was very clean, modern, and comfortable, with a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to relax after a day out in the city. What really stood out, though, was the warm and professional service. Hotel manager Ali Agirman was especially helpful and welcoming. He went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and made my stay feel personal and cared for. Even though the hotel doesn’t offer breakfast, everything else made up for it — great hospitality, perfect location, and a comfortable environment. I highly recommend Marida Hotel and will definitely stay here again when I return to Istanbul.

Nice and clean and it was in a very good location

Location and it has kitchen facilities if anyone wants to cook

I booked the most expensive King deluxe room with balcony at the top floor hoping it would be most pleasant, but this room was extremely smelly of cigarettes that it was hard to breathe. During booking, it was not told that this one is for smokers only! The roof had stains you can't see on Booking photos and the worst, it started leaking after the rain, creating a mini pond in the room. I was relocated to Queen room advertised on Booking at cheaper price, but I was not offered any compensation. And that Queen room also had big stains you can't see on Booking. Entire building needs complete repair, painting and humidity/odor elimination. Only after the room was booked, it was informed there is no elevator and it has very winding narrow stairs that are not great to climb with your suitcase to the roof floor.
