We (2 adults and one kid) stayed at this hotel for one night during a layover at IST airport. We chose it based on its proximity (25 min which oddly, is not considered far from this airport) and the fact that it has a beach and seemed like there would be places to eat and nice scenery in the evening, as opposed to some of the nearby airports that are very isolated. The price couldn’t be beat either! Unfortunately, it didn’t end up quite as ideal as we were hoping. A few major issues: 1. The beds were very uncomfortable. If you have any back problems, this is not a good place for you. The main bed was very soft, and the rollaway bed (which had not been brought into our room until we asked) was springy and lumpy. 2. We were put in a front facing room, which I suppose might normally be a feature since it looks out on the black sea, but we were there on a Saturday night. It turns out that the seaside promenade is a gathering place for people in the evenings, and Saturday night is particularly lively. This meant we were subjected to honking, police sirens, and general noise until very late into the night when we were trying to sleep for a 4 AM wake up. Bring your earplugs. 3. Not a major issue, but our taxi driver, who was not familiar with this little town, tried to use Google maps to find his way to the hotel from the airport. The mapping software sent him down some side streets to avoid a bit of traffic, and these alleys went nowhere. Using the hotels more expensive shuttle pick up at the airport might be a better choice. (On the other hand, on the way back in the morning, the taxi driver knew what he was doing, and hurtled down the correct roads with great confidence.) On the plus side: 1. Nice bathroom for an economy hotel and cool mid century modern furniture. I wanted to take the chairs home. 2. Since we missed the breakfast for our early flight, they provided boxed sandwiches and drinks. The sandwich was a few slices of cucumber, tomato, and cheese on a long roll. I can’t remember if there was a sliver of meat. But it was better than nothing. 3. The hotel is well located for local restaurants and the beach scene. 4. If you have time, there is a 20 min walk up to a cliff and a little lighthouse that has nice scenery for an evening view. All in all, a mixed bag, and I think if we have to do it again, we would probably choose a different hotel that was about 15 minutes from the airport on the opposite side.
