The hotel was further away than I thought. It is a 20 minutes drive. The free pick up adds a lot of time, because we had to wait about 45 minutes for our shuttle at the meeting point. Arranging the shuttle was very easy though through WhatsApp with the hotel. The hotel lobby was intensively smelling of cleaning products. Our beds did not have a sheet, only a scratchy, knit coverlet. We asked for a sheet, but our request could not be accommodated. I ended up using my bathrobe as a cover. We ordered through the front desk a taxi for 4:15am, which was very punctual. We weee offered breakfast to go, but we declined. We were supposed to have 4 free drinks as a VIP perk, but when we ate dinner at the hotel ( they get the food / Turkish fast food from an outside source), we were charged for 4 drinks. I wish that Istanbul airport would have more hotel options. Right now there is only the overpriced Yotel with tiny rooms. Our taxi driver told us that the Hillton at the airport will be finished soon.

A lovely little boutique hotel with very helpful staff. They have good recommendations for the local area. The breakfast was delicious too. The room was upgraded, such a kind surprise and the bed and bathroom were clean and comfortable. The airport transport was so easy, just what my poor jet lagged brain needed. Overall I would both recommend to others and stay there again.

This is an excellent hotel. It is clean and beautiful. The staff are excellent at their jobs and were very kind and hospitable to me. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. The neighborhood is really interesting as well. There is a beautiful masjid one or two blocks from the hotel, as well as a nice shopping mall nearby. There are lots of restaurants to choose from; however, I recommend the restaurant in the hotel. The adana dürüm and the kahvalti were very delicious. Turkish cuisine is fantastic and this hotel does it very well.

This hotel has very excellent service. They were very helpful in answering any questions we had. In addition when they found out we were charged too much from a local taxi, they are trying to get us our money back by going through the proper authorities. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. It was nice to be able to have coffee and tea in the room before coming down to the complimentary breakfast. They also have a restaurant on site and we had a good lunch there.

The hotel itself was wonderful. Only ONEWAY is covered in the airport transfer! Not both. It’s expensive. We ate the restaurant inside and the food took over an hour and it was delivered to us from somewhere else (we watched the delivery driver pull up) and COLD. Not worth the wait or price for the food. The hotel itself was great and the staff were very friendly and spoke perfect English.

They do include complementary breakfast but this is pre set. Not really what we are used to from England. I enjoyed the coffee. Staff were very friendly. Check out was good.

Allegedly close to airport, many others closer (eg Hampton Hilton). Initially shocked by the state of the hotel, next the unpleasant smell in the room (supposedly non`smoking room). Not at all soundproof, spent morning watching a woman shake clothes and cleaning stuff out of her window (room faced an apartment block, other side close to the road) night spent listening to planes take off and land. Had to ask for my room to be made up at 3.30pm in the afternoon, ( sign on door since left at 10:30 that morning) did not leave coffee packets, bathroom bin had not been emptied from previous guest, no additional blankets or pillows provided (poss had to ask which is not helpful at 3am in the morning), asked for wake up call at 5am, received one at 3am. There are some positive features the main one being the reception staff (who gave good info on what to do for a day) and the water pressure of the shower. The internet was also reasonably good. The hotel is slightly run down and sits on what was a ‘village’ however now a street of bread shops and fast food eateries (no decent restaurants). Would I stay again, prob not. A new Hilton is opening in Sept with direct airport access.

The arrival from free shuttle was great. It was raining and the hotel staff came outside and grabbed our bags which was a big help. Check in was quick and easy. Room was super clean and cozy. We got a free sandwich in the morning as we had an early flight. The only thing I would suggest is to offer free airport shuttle round trip vs just a one way free shuttle. We checked in at 10:30pm and checked out at 5am and had to pay for shuttle back to airport. However I would stay here again without a doubt.

The gentleman at the desk recognized that we were 2 old people who were exhausted after a horrible day dealing with the Istanbul airport. He offered us a menu for their restaurant and told us any time we wanted anything, just to call. They will prepare and deliver it.
The room was immaculate. Scented soap, a large, sparkling clean shower, even scented toilet paper! We appreciated the soft linens, the comfortable bed and the quiet room decor. A call came later in the evening to remind us to be ready for the shuttle at 5am. When we were ready to leave, the owner apologized because breakfast wouldn't start until 8. He handed us a bag with 2 large,freshly prepared sandwiches and juice. The hospitality was warm and the service terrific. Thank you for your kindness!

MISLEADING HEADING (not close to airport at all)
1. Nice hot shower
2. Clean
3. Plated basic breakfast (not buffet) I hard egg, bread, jams, 4 slice meat, cucumber, tomato, coffee and juice.
4. NO FREE SHUTTLE to and from airport
. They offer 1 way free and your responsible for the second part. So if this is a place to crash for the night to go to airport, add $30 USD to your total.
5. 25 minutes from airport. I find their heading misleading, this is not close to airport at all !!!!!

I have stayed in many hotels in Istanbul and this was the worse experience of all. The hotel is far away from the airport. The hotel advertised free transportation to and from the airport, which I found was not true. Only one way transportation is provided. Even after I showed all the communication with the hotel none of which showed that transportation was one way, the hotel owner and manager did nothing to correct it. There did not seem to be any decent places to eat dinner near by so ate at the hotel. The dinner was subpar and cold. It seemed like the food was brought from else where and warmed up, not freshly made in the hotel.
