Stayed free with Turkish Airline layover deal. A bit out of town, so not ideal for a short layover if you want to see Istanbul. Didn't seem to be much in the area either, some malls, but didn't feel great to explore the neighbourhood at night. Seems more suitable for a recovery retreat and conferences. Bring a swim hat if you want to swim. Stains on the hotel room floor, holes in furniture fabric. Shampoo available but shower gel was empty, no conditioner or body lotion available. Breakfast ok but nothing to write home about. Hotel taxi was over twice the price of local taxi. Gym looked large.
Only thing I did not like was its location; being far from the top attractions. Which meant taking a few expensive taxi trips. If you’re not a tourist then location is fine. Breakfast was excellent.
