Find hotels in Bakirkoy

We found this hotel pretty good. A 15 minute taxi ride from the airport, it is conveniently located and a reasonable option for a night or two. All the reviewers who say that none of the staff speak English are talking utter nonsense. All the staff we encountered spoke at least basic English - enough to communicate your needs to. They were friendly and helpful. The swimming pool in the hotel is a real bonus and quite nice, and the price is very reasonable. We paid €65 per night for a family of 5! The hotel food is reasonable too, but if you don't like it there are a string of restaurants directly across the road. We found our room to be clean and well kept, but the hotel is let down by its cleanliness elsewhere, with fairly grubby carpets in the halls etc. However, for the price we found this hotel to be a good option for our brief transit through Istanbul.

Excellent hotel to just chill close by to airport but far away from city and even metro stations, you need to be dependent upon taxi which is not cheap. Have an excellent aquarium and a shopping mall with a bar, but with limited food court. Rooms are exceptionally good with excellent view, but air traffic at times create disturbance. Excellent facilities like spa, pool etc. Worth the money spend stayed for 5 nights. Very friendly staff at reception as well as other services.

The main hotel has a lovely 1960s-70s feel to it, nostalgic stairs from reception to the terrace where the lovely blue-sea view is. While one has one's breakfast there are white seagulls fly about and then come and stop at the next table and ask for bread; they are beautiful to picture with the blue sea behind. The staff are accommodating and ready to help with everything. The 5 star breakfast (open buffet) is EXCELLENT and delicious, and very generously served. The Chef is a great cook. Dinners were amazing. The pool is lovely and about 25 meters, which is great for swimming, and has a small serving bar (coffee, sandwiches, other drinks etc). 15 TL Turkish coffee is too much, since many places sell it between 4 to 10 TL. All were good, but there was only one boy, in pool part, in his twenties, whom was not very polite. Maybe he was not happy wearing braces and will learn to be polite in future. But, the main Cinar hotel's young and older waiters made one feel like a VIP.

the hotel stay is uneventful except during the check in process the hotel stuff could not find my reservation. And I reserved this hotel from it's official website (Agoda) to avoid this kind of problem. It ends out that I walked to the wrong one. There are two WOW hotels in the same complex. However, the 5-star one does not offer help to move my luggage to the 4-star one. Just bad luck to walk in to the wrong one.

The room was quite spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was also very clean, too. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet was quite good. There was a variety of foods to choose from each morning. About a 2 minute walk from the hotel there is a large shopping mall, great for rainy days. The hotel was also very close to the airport, so a taxi there only cost about 20 lira.

The hotel lives up to its 5-star classification with excellent service, clean and well-kept pool (magnificent pool) with a breeze and fresh air right at the water's edge. Ideal location for businessman who wants unfettered,quick access to/from Ataturk airport. Excellent restaurants and bars within with attentive staff. I would stay there again and take my family. It's more like a resort with top-notch facilities for the family in Summer. (I visited in July 2009). It is some distance to downtown Istanbul, but with a free shuttle-bus for tourism and shopping, I think this is a great benefit. Also, free shuttlebus to the airport. Room, bathroom and bed very nice. Overall, a great hotel stay. If you can manage not staying in the center of the city, I would stay at this hotel.

First time in Istanbul we stayed in Sultanamhet, and were constantly harassed by people trying to drag us in to their restaurant / brother's shop to buy a carpet... Next time stayed here in Attakoy - hotel is directly opposite train station (so you can get into central for the sights easily from there) but best of all this is a major shopping precinct used by local Turks, very happy to see tourists, very helpful, not much English, and no pestering AT ALL !! Tip... go into the main boulevard off the train station walkway (you can see the hotel from that walkway too) and look for the first side street to your left, the buffet there on the right hand side gives two people three good serves of your choice each, and all cost 25 Turkish Lira, amazing traditional Turkish tucker... superb. Look around to the left on the next street up that same boulevard and find the mens barber shop three doors up. Ivano (no English - so will ring his English mate and give you his phone to relay instructions) will give you the full monty mens haircut (clippers, cut throat razor trim, facial mud pack, head and hair wash, massage, lotions and potions, all with a smile) - for 30 Turkish Lira... tell him Mike sent you and give him a tip.. This place was truly our best experience in Istanbul. Stay here if you can, enjoy.

Thie cool, funky old hotel was a private home originally. It is still decorated with some of the beautiful antique furniture of the day. The owner's family has owned the building for many years. In fact the owner was raised here, making it a very special place. The dining room in the basement has recently been remodeled and is quite nice,and the breakfast was good. The hotel is quite close to the airport and an airport transfer is easy to arrange. I would stay here again.

I feel obligated to provide feedback and review to ensure other guest not feeling cheated. Please avoid to take any offer from Nature Apartment for a tour guide service because you will be regretted. Firstly, my family do not like a person with such lack of integrity from the tour guide service. We pay quite significant fee for a day tour in Istanbul. We were promised something else and did not get what were promised. We were promised that the tour service will start at 9.00 am but it only start at 10:00 am. We plan to have breakfast in one of the interesting place during the tour but end-up eating somewhere near the hotel. He wanted us to follow his time schedule rather than ours. We were promised that we will get a comfortable car for the tour but end-up with small sedan car with six of us plus the tour guide. My family is very uncomfortable since 5 of them are at the back seat,The car is also very old, maybe more than ten years already. We raised the issues few times politely but he just ignore us.. He is also smoking in the car with my small children and therefore show no respect to us since I clearly informed that I don’t smoke. Initally, we were informed that some of the tour will include some of paid visit but we end-up paying for our serlves plus for the tour guide too. In every opportunity, the tour guide try to get as much money from our family. We are really not satified with the service but we keep calm because we do not want to get into any trouble in foreign country. We were promised a comfortable airport transfer with a big van but end-up using the same small sedan car to go the airport. He is also keep informing that we should be paying him more but with the kind of service we got, we believe that we have been ripped-off. The mistake that we do is that we agreed to make full payment of the tour because we read to good review about the hotel. There is a reason for him to demand full payment first.

Otelin konumu iyi ve calısanlar güleryüzlüydü. Ancak odanın temizliği ciddi anlamda kötüydü. Dahası, saç kurutma makinesini almak için çekmeceyi açar açmaz bir adet canlı hamam böceğiyle göz göze geldim. Daha sonra da dokunmadım zaten oraya. Ayrıca klima diye koydukları ama hiç bir işe yaramayan kalorifer görünümlü aleti de bence bir an önce gerçek bir klimayla değiştirmelerinde fayda olur diye düşünüyorum. İyi ki yazın gitmemişim yoksa o odada kalınmazdı gerçekten. Son olarak da yatak başlarında priz olmaması bence kötü olmuş. en azından benim kaldığım odada böyleydi.

It was a house, without a reception, with noone speaking EN around. There was a sign on the opposite side of the street wit a tel number which you have to call and wait 20 min for someone to show up. Then they take you to a different address, wasting time, energy. the area is impossible for parking The apartment was without aircondition. i had not slept all night, then i opened the refrigerator to cool the room somehow. Was hell., so hot. The people were very nice and helpful, but the place is not good, they offered free soft drinks.

We needed somewhere close to the airport so were only there for one night. Pros: accessible, close to restaurants, shopping and train station, all a short walk away. Be careful, the address is for the old office, now vacant building. Make sure you have the right address. And contrary to what it said, shuttle service is not included in the price. The staff did organise a lift for us for 20 tl and were kind and helpful.

2 major defects in this facility , one of them is very poor noise insulation ,I could hear my neighbor talking easily not mentioning shouting or high tv sound which was very annoying and 2nd thing no kitchen ware what so ever to cook with !!! only dishes and knifes spoons ... etc . nothing to even boil eggs and when I asked reception why is that , they said its management policy !!! . so we don't know if this is apartment or hotel room cause that was very disappointing really which made me reconsider to use this facility anymore.

Amazing Hotel, beautiful, top notch breakfast with numerous choices. Highly comfortable bed with a large walk in shower...rain shower head. Excellent facilities ...indoor pool, best Turkish bath ever had + massage. Bar service and a impressive selection of tea. Very good location to relax and not far from major attractions. Istanbul Taxi drivers are very nice. Great hotel to regroup after very long trips
