Overall a great hotel in a good area with lots of restaurants and shops close by. A 10 to 15 minute walk to the parliament building which is the start of the tourist area of town. Breakfast was traditional European with some additional hot choices that changed every day. Staff were friendly and spoke excellent English. Room was clean, but a little tired. I could only get one channel on the TV (CNN international). I would recommend this hotel.

Difficult one this. It was not a 5 star hotel but in terms of value, it was worth 5 stars. The location was really convenient - 15 mins walk and you're right in the middle of the Christmas markets. It was really close to the river for a lovely walk along to see the parliament buildings - that gothic architecture is really something!
Anyway, back to the Marmara! 😆 Yes, comfy beds, room was clean, the staff were helpful and friendly and it was very good value. So I would recommend and I would stay again.
Only small downsides were breakfast was a little strange at times - potato croquet and onion rings? 🤔😬 That was not to my taste, but there was the usual scrambled eggs (very nice), bread and cheeses, yogurt and a bit of fruit. I've certainly had better, but nothing worth complaining about 😊
There was always an odd smell in the corridor when you left your room. Like last night's Chinese. That was a bit funky and slightly off putting, but you couldn't smell it in the bedrooms, so it was fine 🤷🏽😊

Only complaint from our end:
1. Bar was open until 23:00 on our first two nights. But when we arrived on the 3rd night at 22:09, it’d shut at 22:00. The reason? A shrug and an apology from Reception and directed us to our mini bar.
2. The cooked breakfast items were all cold or tepid. A cold onion ring/fried mozzarella patty /scrambled eggs is not pleasant.
3. On a positive note: staff exceptionally pleasant, room comfortable and clean, location was great.
Would suggest to management that consistency in bar opening/closing times is in customers interest.

Hotel had batter days, room is old and poorly maintained, some bulbs are missing and old carpet need to be changed. Sheets, towel, shower are clean and OK. OLD TV, old Air condition, good WIFI. Breakfast was fine, good location, very pleasant and helpful crew.

We stayed in the Marmara Hotel from 7th to 12th September 2022 and it was a very pleasant experience. The standard rooms perhaps small but once you get an upgrade, as we did, things get lot better. Very friendly staff- Melinda is exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable girl who gave very useful tips, Peter was very helpful too. -both of them would go that extra mile to make you comfortable. One may have wishes better restaurant but then there are couple of eateries nearby, an exceptional Italian restaurant across the street and a Kurdish eatery as well, and food panda ensures home delivery of even small orders- including from best Indian restaurants nearby. My meeting venue, the Hungarian Supreme Court, was less than 150 meters away. Excellent value for money. 9 out of 10
