"This is a fairly new hotel and it is working out the 'new procedures' and doing quite well. Our room had a glitch in the air-conditioning system that the staff worked diligently to fix. They offered a different room but eventually came up with an acceptable solution. It's location 15 minutes from the airport and the shuttle service availability was a plus. Nearby were several dining options as well as 'quick shops for those just in case needs. I would stay here again!"

Top Merkez Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton Istanbul Airport, Arnavutkoy

8/10 Good

"Very helpful housekeeping staff. Restaurant was basic but met the need. Helpful and pleasant front desk staff. Room was clean and comfortable but showing some wear."

Ramada By Wyndham Arnavutkoy

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at this hotel. Sofia was exceptionally helpful and kind. The location is convenient—close to the airport and near restaurants. The room was very comfortable and equipped with everything you might need. We truly enjoyed our time here and would gladly return."

Elysian Airport Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"My experience here was excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful, spoke very good English and one spoke russian too, possibly other languages. Türkiye is known for its excellent hospitality services and Elysian was a great example of that. The restaurant has good food which is helpful for travelers on a tight schedule. I’d highly recommend this place and it’s very affordable."

CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"When we travel we like to stay at a locally owned hotel and CVK fits the bill. We booked a balcony room facing the Bosporus with a gorgeous view and lounge privileges. The room was great with a large jacuzzi, rain shower and small hammam and a wonderful bed. The seating on the patio is perfect for morning coffee and night time relaxing. I could have slept out there since the weather was perfect with the sea breeze. The breakfast was one of the best of many hotels that I have stayed at during this trip: lean Mediterranean food, tasty pastry, yogurt bars, and egg stations. The best yet was the spa section: big salt indoor swimming pool and a roof top pool, the spa- big marble hammam, the sauna, steam room and rest area. If you are looking for a spa hotel that does not charge extra for a wonderful spa, this is the one. On the top of this is the great staff from the door persons, front desk and the cleaning crews. If we are in Istanbul again, we will definitely stay here again."
