Advantages: The hotel is in a great spot near IST Airport (about a 15-20 minute drive, costing 800-1000 TRY), and I really wish I’d found it sooner. When I arrived, I realized my Uber driver had overcharged me, but the receptionists, Omer and Ersin, were incredibly helpful; they kept me calm, showed real sympathy, and helped me file a formal report with Uber to get my money back. I’m still waiting to hear back from the company, but Omer and Ersin really earned my respect with how genuine and helpful they were. The room was cozy, and the staff were happy to move me to a room facing the road as I requested. They also did a great job helping with my bags at check-in and check-out. I enjoyed the breakfast, which was a nice intro to Turkish food. The hotel is also near four restaurants, some shops, and a metro station about a 10-14 minute walk away. I felt totally welcome as a Black traveler and had no issues at all. A huge thank you to Ersin and Omer for making my stay so great. It’s a perfect hotel if you’re in transit. When I was leaving, Omer helped me get a taxi, and the price was fair and right in line with the ride apps. Disadvantages: There is nothing to dislike about this hotel, and I wish I had discovered it sooner on booking.com. I will certainly be returning here.
