The Private Airport Hotel — Hotel in Arnavutköy

From the moment we walked in, it was a disaster! There were 2 young men working the front desk who did not speak English at all. It took us a half hour to check in due to not being able to communicate. I booked a 'deluxe triple room' which they did not give me, instead it was a very small room with a double bed. Upon entering the room, there were no blankets nor a top sheet on the bed and no towels in the bathroom. I went to use the elevator to go down to the front desk to notify them of this and once the elevator door closed, it went pitch black inside and there was no emergency light that came on. I was so scared I was calling for my husband but the elevator finally started to move and the lights came back on. I asked the one young men to get me the blankets/comforter and towels. I didn't notice until after he left but he gave me a comforter from a single bed instead of a double bed. We did not have enough to cover us. There was a massive, thick cob web above the armoire. The bathroom had not been cleaned! The toilet bowl had feces marks in it! The shower had a bar of used soap on the floor, which means it also was not cleaned! The workmanship of the establishment is poor. I could not complain to front desk due to the language barrier, it was late and we needed to be up super early to get to the airport. We were stuck! For the life of me, I don't understand how this hotel has any good ratings. Something seems off about this. The location is...

Very friendly clean hotel, fairly close to the airport - unfortunately you have to go around the airport so not as close as how the crow flies.

A hotel with a bit of bling, it's a bit out of the way but fine if (as we were) you are arriving in Istanbul International fairly late and flying on the next day.

There isn't much going on in the town or much to see, but it's worth it if only to stretch the legs after a long flight.

Only disadvantage with staying close to the airport is the sound of the planes. If you are a light sleeper you might need ear plugs.

I wouldn't stay more than a night, and the rooms are quite small, but its not a bad choice for a one night...

Moved here from a nearby hotel which was awful and so glad I did! It is super close to Hava IST airport which was ideal. Staff are all young but warm, professional and experienced. I was also greeted at the front desk by a tiny kitten called Mia. 😺

The room was excellent: Small, but very clean, many different lighting options to suit your mood, good quality bedding and one of the comfiest mattresses I have slept on. Room was cheap too. Only criticism is that the bathroom is cramped. But shower had three options and generally very good.

Overall: Amazing room, stellar staff! Will stay here again if I get the...
