Great hotel close to IST airport. Beware of Turkish taxi drivers , it is the real sin of Istanbul. Otherwise , i would rate Istanbul one of the best cities ... But taxi drivers... :(
I spent the night before the flight on September 2-3.
The hotel is located at the entrance to Arnavutkey, i.e. very close to the airport.
Everything is fine. Clean, beautiful. Nice big and very comfortable bed, satin bed linen. Lots of pillows, comfortable ones. It's a pleasure to sleep. Thick dark curtains, even during the day the light does not penetrate at all.
The most important thing is excellent sound insulation. There are no planes taking off and landing. Silence. Silent air conditioning system, the temperature is comfortable.
The plumbing is good, the toilet is equipped with a bidet.
A huge TV in the room, several Russian channels.
In general, there are no disadvantages.
I didn't have lunch at the restaurant. Opposite the hotel, across the street, is the Musa restaurant. I went there. Very cute. Tables on the street around the fountain . I had lunch for 12 euros. Soup and kufte. Delicious and a lot. You can take a portion of the second one for two, At least I have half left.
In the shop at the restaurant they sell very tasty baklava.
Now I will definitely stay here for the night between flights.
