Good location, reasonable price, good service. Friendly and helpful staff. No one speaks Russian (if that's important to you). The room is completely ordinary. Standard, modest size, without any frills. A bed, a TV, a small closet, a small table and a chair. A small refrigerator and an electric kettle with a supply of tea bags. The bathroom is quite cramped. However, everything you need is there. We didn't have any problems. A little repair wouldn't hurt. The windows overlook the Marmara Sea. There is a busy highway right under the windows, and with the window open, noise can interfere with sleeping at night, with the window closed, I have no complaints about noise!
There are many cafes and a supermarket nearby.
It is best to use a taxi from and to the airport. Travel time is 50 minutes if there are no traffic jams. The price of the issue is about 30 euros. You can pay in dollars and lira on the counter.
Summary: Quite a decent hotel in a good area for reasonable money. My score is four points. I recommend. On occasion, I will be happy to stay at this hotel again. A decent 3-star hotel.
The hotel is good! The location is good, overlooking the sea. The pool in the courtyard is your own. Near the exit to the Europe-Asia tunnel, also near the Zeytinburnu Marmaray station. The numbers correspond to the star rating. Permonal seemed friendly. The breakfasts are average. Adjacent Hotel with a New Hotel. In general, it is not bad for its price category.
Ibis, as always, is on top of the service. The staff will help and prompt you. But I didn't like the cleanliness of this particular Ibis. It was a little dirty, the wear and tear of time. The bathroom smells damp. But the view from the window is gorgeous. You can get to Hawalimani Airport (IST) by public transport with transfers. But it is always better to check the local transport route. Since the transport may be on the maps, but in fact no one has ever seen it.
I really don't understand why reviews are being rejected. Here the question is not about the hotel, but about the Yandex platform on which I booked it, since I was looking for a hotel with a pool, the platform is not perfect from the word at all, arriving at the hotel, it turned out that the pool is paid, not the most pleasant surprise.
According to the hotel, the metro is nearby, I have mastered it as a Moscow one, and I really like to go to the Aquafloria, there is a huge shopping center with expensive and not very shops, a beautiful embankment and a city beach, I recommend going on weekdays, since all locals go there on weekends.
The hotel does not provide balconies anywhere, you count on it, the pool is paid. I paid extra for breakfast, since the nearest food is far away and I don't want to go hunting in the morning. There is a local market behind the metro station, there are cafes, shops, pharmacies, mac and burger king. I never managed to change dollars there, banks are everywhere, but the exchangers are closed.
The sea is right in front of the hotel, but you can cross the road only in one place, from the hotel you go to the left and see the bridge, from this bridge you can get both to the embankment and to the neighboring quarter, where there will be many restaurants, a couple of boutiques and in this area there is a supermarket where you can buy vinishko, as well all products.
Breakfast at the hotel is normal, everything you need to eat. Coffee, eggs, sausages, sweets.
The food in the restaurant is expensive, and while it wasn't delicious for me, maybe I should try more. In general, Turks really like to justify the price of a dish by shoving French fries there for the most part.
The area is quite calm, since I spent the first three days on Taksim Square, I was a little tired of the hustle and bustle, according to this principle, the location is normal, it's not far to the center, and I liked the area of this Aquafloria by metro more.
Of the advantages:
Clean rooms, timely cleaning, and the fact that this is a chain hotel, which obliges them to keep the service.
There is a nice new embankment nearby.
Of the cons:
The gym is separate and you need to pay for it.
The pool is one for two hotels, small and closed, there is no terrace.
They speak English poorly, no one understands Russian at all (but we understand that this is optional).
The cafe bar is quite expensive, the dishes are not all fresh, my stomach hurt.
The breakfast is quite modest.
There is not much infrastructure around, it takes 10 minutes to walk to the metro, there is also a currency exchange and other necessary facilities.
Do not use a taxi near the hotel, you will be deceived.
It takes about an hour by taxi from the international airport and costs $ 40 (economy). It takes 2 hours by metro.
We were here for the first time, we will not come again.
Convenient location. Good breakfasts. I didn't like the way the room was cleaned - they changed the linen and towels, put water on. The dust was not wiped, the sink was dirty, tea was not given, and the fruits that I put on the table disappeared. The reception tried to check into a room that does not match the reservation. But they quickly corrected and apologized
A wonderful chain hotel. The location is excellent - a view of the sea and the metro nearby (literally a ten-fifteen minute walk at a leisurely pace). There are several good restaurants and shops in the area.
The hotel itself has a great bar and delicious food. There is a swimming pool for guests.
It is located far from the center. There is parking. The room itself is very small, with a view of the sea and the passing highway, so it's quite noisy at night. Bed, appliances-everything is fine. It is very unpleasant that the first time the trip was disrupted and the hotel does not return the money. Breakfast is about 12evro, lunch is 22. A glass of wine 11 euros)) nearby there is a shopping center Marmara Forum with Zara, NM, mango, etc. (to get by taxi)
the hotel is located in a new area, 8-10 minutes walk to the train, 15-25 $ taxi to the center; the beach is nearby but did not get to it; breakfast is standard for the ibis network; there is an aquarium not far away; in general, everything is fine
At the reception, an employee shortchanged me: as a $5 change, she gave me 100 Turkish lira, which is less than $ 3. To my question about the 100 lire change: "is that 5 dollars?" the employee confidently replied "yes."
As a regular customer of this hotel chain, I was entitled to a welcome drink. They didn't give me this drink.
I really asked to book a quiet room in advance, and I was placed right next to a noisy elevator lobby. I stated this in writing, but I was not resettled.
The breakfasts are good, the rooms are clean, the location is four out of five.
Conclusion: I do not recommend it.
Great hotel. Conveniently located. Beautiful view. Clear. There are three Russian channels. I was pleased. The staff is at a good level. The breakfast is excellent
A normal hotel for your money. The rooms are not very modern, but clean, cleaning every day, good breakfasts, no crowds of people. Good location, near the embankment, Marmaray and tram station, beautiful pleasant area
One of the best Ibises I've ever stayed in.
Wonderful view of the Marmara Sea.
Cozy standard rooms, soft bed linen, delicious breakfasts, there is a swimming pool on site, polite staff.
Within walking distance from the Zeytinburnu metro station (it is the MARMARAY of the gray line, do not confuse it with another Zeytinburnu station of the red and blue lines, because they are located in different places).
The rooms are clean, everything is working properly, good water pressure, tea, coffee, water. Breakfast with a Turkish accent. To Marmaray 10-15 minutes on foot, all life on the other side of the railway.
A great hotel for family and even romantic pastime. There are rooms with sea views. The construction of the elite residential complex YEDI MAVI is coming to an end nearby. There is a bus stop near the hotel and a small taxi park. The rooms are not big. there is everything you need, but there is a sense of minimalism. The cost is $ 45-50 per day. The main attractions can be reached in 20-25 minutes by car.
Tired hotel
It needs repair. The construction site is nearby, the noise and the view. The noise from a washing machine somewhere. The usual choice, but expensive breakfast.
