I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were modern and clean, which I really appreciated. However, the service left a lot to be desired, as communication was a bit of a struggle. The location was okay if you have a car, but the cleanliness of the surrounding area wasn't great. Dining was another letdown, as the breakfast options were quite limited. Overall, it had its ups and downs, making it an average stay.

My stay at the hotel was surprisingly pleasant, with clean and comfortable rooms that exceeded my expectations for an airline accommodation. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially one guy named Billal, who really stood out with his customer service skills. However, the limited dining options didn't quite live up to the five-star reputation, and the location wasn't ideal for exploring, with some cleanliness issues outside. Overall, it's a decent place but has room for improvement.

Service was a mixed bag; while Billal was fantastic and very polite, I did have an uncomfortable experience when staff entered my room late at night to check the minibar. That felt disrespectful.

The hotel had a big and inviting look from the outside, but being located by a highway made it less appealing. There was a lot of rubbish in the streets right outside, which was off-putting for exploring.

The hotel had some great points, like the friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere. However, the rooms had a strong cigarette smell despite being labeled non-smoking, and the overall cleanliness could use a bit of attention. The location was decent for airport access, but quite far from local markets. Overall, it's a mixed bag, with nice service and comfortable beds, but some areas definitely need improvement.

The hotel has a clean and spacious atmosphere, but I found the rooms to smell a bit smokey. The location, while near the airport, is quite far from the city center and situated in an industrial area with not much to see or do. The service was lacking, especially with responses to requests. On the bright side, the amenities available were convenient for a short stay, though I think the overall experience could definitely be improved.

I had a great stay at the hotel, which was conveniently located just a short distance from Ataturk Airport. The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean with a comfortable bed. On the downside, while the breakfast was abundant, it could have been a bit better. However, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful during my visits.
