March 25, 2005  "Marvelous hotel"
 

faferris@worldnet.att Waterbury,Conn

My son and I spent one week at the Mamara Istanbul in December 2004. Don"t let anyone persuade you to stay at any other hotel in Istanbul. This place was absoutely superb..the staff,the room and the view were outstanding. Honestly,every person we talked to was extremely polite,attentive and very helpful. Everyone went out of his way to advise us on what to see and what to do. The front desk was even better in their co-operation.
The only thing was the breakfast. It is quite expensive. Go outside the hotel,turn left and you will see many local cafes which serve delicious food all day at very affordable prices.
You must take the ferry up and down the Bosphorous. It cost only $5.00 round trip. This trip is an ABSOLUTE MUST DO. Also,take a taxi to see the Pera Palace Hotel. It is full of nostalgia and relics of the Orient Express.
