Pack your earplugs. I stayed here the night before an early flight so that I would be closer to the airport. Everything was fine but the rooms are not sound proofed at all. Could hear lots of noise above me and out on the street.

They arranged our private transfer for $25 euros because they said taxis are busy in the morning. I don’t know if that’s true but less stress was worth the extra cost for me.

Super welcome on arrival, just disappointed that after a long day of travel we were unable to relax and unwind with a beer. Fully understand but had no idea that would be the case so we went to bed.
The room was excellent with everything needed and breakfast was good, plenty of choice.

It is a low cost option for one overlay night, but although it is an “airport hotel”, it was farther than we thought, about 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. The staff were helpful. However, the bed sagged and we got a couple of bed bug bites. Ouch… if you don’t have plans, consider going to the Black Sea, which is nearby.

I did, and agent says they have to contact property. They say can never get hold of property, and neither was honorable to reverse my reservation, they will not give me my cancel nor refund as promised. They wouldn’t even cancel it, hello. How can u force someone to keep a reservation? Bogus greed.

I booked this hotel based on the review, which is not completely true. Location is 12-15 minutes away from the airport, but there is nothing going on around the hotel. More like a rundown part of the town. Room is extremely small and old. Many of the fixes in the room ( like paint or seals) were exposed and the street is very noisy.
No need to stay there.

I stayed at the property for one night. Check in was simple. Staff was polite. The hotel was run down. Tiles missing in the lift, carpet rundown. It is across the street from a facility that had barbwire and police stanchions, looked like a prison or mental institution. My television didn’t work. They were notified but did nothing about it. You could walk to the market or restaurants. Catch a cab. It is under 700 tl one way. The room was decent. A/C worked and was pumping out cold air

I’d highly recommend this place and it’s very affordable.

The room was nice and clean. But the lights didn't work; we had to flip the circuit.

I booked a room with a tub. I stayed there 2 nights, and the morning of my checkout I wanted to use it. But it wouldn't drain at all. Disgusting, I ended up bailing which is really disappointing since the room's higher price is precisely because of that tub.

The restaurant give really small servings. 16-30 EUR for a tiny amount of food. When I tried to order food from a restaurant nearby, I was told the hotel policy doesn't allow it, forcing you to overpay for tiny servings.... problematic because its a 20 minute walk to basically anything else anywhere, and the taxis take advantage of you due to being in the airport area.

Cannot recommend.

They were not responsive in arranging a shuttle service and looking at the return shuttle service. They wanted it €35 that before when I discussed. Then they dropped it to 25 in the morning. But I paid 16 from the airport the night before for a regular taxi in about five using an application. The lack of published prices and constant trying to take advantage of guests does not make me feel welcome or safe.
In general, I dislike places that are dishonest.

Stayed in a Triple with a Balcony. The room was beautiful, the bathroom had a lovely shower and a small hamam basin, which was a nice touch. Upon arrival at 3:00pm, our room was not yet ready and we thus had to wait in reception for around 15 minutes before being able to check in - this was not a huge inconvenience, but less than ideal after coming off a long flight. Biggest issue was that we were informed by reception that the hotel does not allow guests to order in food, and given the hotel is not particularly close to many restaurants or options, guests are effectively forced to order from the hotel's restaurant. I personally think that's ridiculous and inconvenient from a guest services perspective. The hotel's restaurant was fine, though a tad pricey, and had a variety of options, but this type of restriction on my choices as a guest at a hotel drives me crazy. Other thing to be aware of is that the hotel is quite close to a mosque and the morning call to prayer was quite loud (early June, 4:30am). I am a very heavy sleeper and live in Turkey, thus am accustomed to the call to prayer and never wake up to it at home, but in our room at this hotel it would have been impossible to sleep through - light sleepers beware.

The hotel was convenient and priced well, BUT you are charged a high price for the airport shuttle whether you use it or not. So be prepared for a significant extra charge.

Also, our room was on the corner of the hotel and the windows rattled all night from the extreme windy conditions.

On the plus side, the on site restaurant served us a good meal.

We were given a room next to the elevators, which made loud noises the whole night. Room was tiny, walls paper thin that we could hear people breathing next door. It was impossible to sleep. We had a few bites at the restaurant which cost $50, far too much for what we consumed. No mention of Expedia VIP Access - they even charged for tea, which is unheard of in Turkey. The staff was friendly but this is the only good thing I can say about the property. Avoid if you can..

The hotel is in a very out of the way location, half way down a very steep hill. There is no town around to explore, although there is a very nice cafe, with good priced authentic turkish food a few blocks up the hill. The hotel menu is adequate, but priced in Euros and pricey for Turkey. There is an Aeroport shuttle, Priced at 30 Euros for flights. The hotel is clean, modern, and bland. Good for an overnight stop, not a destination.

This hotel seems almost brand new. The room we had was the best we had in 12 days of staying in Turkiye. The shower didn't leak - which was rare, the bed was comfortable.

The only minor issue is the hotel is on a steep road. The police academy is across the road and the authorities have chosen to put 2 substantial road humps immediately outside the hotel - in both directions. This means that every vehicle has to slow right down and then accellerated back over the humps - both ways. The traffic seemed to back off after 10pm but If you book here, ask for a room not facing the road and preferably on the upper floors.

The restaurant isn't cheap but we did have the \"American\" breakfast and it was good.

had paid for two higher-end rooms based on the photos and descriptions, but what we received was one twin room and one queen room, neither matched the sizes or standards I had reserved. My parents were given the twin room, and after a long, exhausting trip, they had already settled in. I did inform the front desk that these were not the rooms we booked. They offered to switch us, but by that point it was too late for us to move everything.

Additionally, I found a bug in the bathroom, which was very concerning.

We made the mistake of staying close to the airport since we only had 27 hours to stay in Istanbul--thinking it would make it easier for us but the opposite happened--we were 45-50 minutes away from the tours we signed up for making it impossible to rest between tours or freshen up. The cab was expensive too. But the hotel and its employees were fine, and as advertised. We would recommend travelers spend the time and money to be closer to the city. It was our own fault for not researching more.
