Titanic City Taksim
It is a nice property but they really need to sort their central heating as you cant change the setting and in the night the temperature goes up to 27 degrees. Not a single night I had a pleasant sleep!!!

Hampton by Hilton Istanbul Airport, Arnavutkoy
The stay at this hotel was very nice. The property is clean, the rooms comfortable, the breakfast choices excellent. One small disappointment is that the hotel does not have an airport shuttle, which I expected based on the fact that the hotel advertised itself as being “at” the Istanbul International ...
