Good value money. Good hotel, nice staff and nice breakfast. Comfortable bed and nice bathrooms Good value for money. The curtains in the room didn't cover the windows so it was very bright early in the morning affecting sleep and the noise from the street could be heard perfectly in the room even in the 3rd floor... booking mentioned that the hotel offered free parking, which turned out to be just random parking spots on the street, not associated with the hotel.

maybe you should think twice before booking this hotel. they followed all requests and were fast in as wrong questions helpful staff. even if it says ´close to airport’, the drive took almost an hour rooms are very much outdated, poor breakfast menu the hotel itself is not accessible, so be ready to handle your bagage….

Exceptional. This hotel was excellent, and having stayed in numerous hotels, I was surprised by the negative reviews. The property was exceptionally clean and appeared newly renovated. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even offering me a freshly prepared breakfast included in the price. Although I wasn’t hungry, I appreciated their hospitality and attention to detail. Thank you to the staff you were amazing and spoke full English u are a credit to the hotel. This incident was unrelated to the hotel, but I wanted to share my experience. When leaving the hotel, I took a taxi to the airport, which was arranged by the hotel. Upon arrival, the driver ignored me completely and went straight into the hotel to speak with the receptionist. Whether it was a language barrier or not, I’m unsure. Once inside the taxi, he disregarded my instructions and, shockingly, was watching TV while driving, scrolling on his phone, and talking on another phone throughout the entire journey. Despite repeatedly asking about the fare, he only responded with "meter, meter." However, upon arriving at the airport, he ignored the meter entirely and demanded 3,500 lire, even though the meter showed 2,196 lire. As a solo female traveller, I found this extremely intimidating. He justified the inflated fare by claiming it covered bridge tolls, despite my prior journey costing only 50 euros and the bridge toll being just 33 lire (approximately 70p, not £20). When I refused to overpay, he became aggressive, repeatedly threatening to call the police and warning me that I would miss my flight if I didn’t comply. He even physically prevented me from exiting the taxi, essentially holding me hostage. Feeling unsafe and pressured, I ultimately paid him 3,000 lira—far more than the 2,000 lira I paid on my way to the hotel. Unfortunately, Istanbul has a reputation for taxi drivers exploiting tourists, especially solo travellers, by intimidating them and refusing to let them leave the vehicle. This experience was not only a scam but also a major safety concern due to the driver’s reckless behaviour while driving. Next time, I will pre-book a taxi in advance to avoid a similar situation..
