Parent group: IHG Hotels & Resorts
Holiday Inn Express is IHG's midscale brand built around simple, efficient and affordable stays. Instead of restaurants and extras, it focuses on a comfortable bed, breakfast included and a hassle-free stay.
Rooms are modern, compact and practical, with a work area and free Wi-Fi as standard. Breakfast is included as a brand standard, and hotels usually offer limited food and drink rather than a full restaurant. Prices sit in the midscale band, at or below Holiday Inn. It suits business travellers, people on a stopover and anyone after a short stay.
Ankara · Akyurt · ★★★★
A 125-room, 12-floor Holiday Inn Express about 4 km from Esenboğa Airport, set inside the Otonomi car-trade complex on Özal Boulevard, with breakfast included, free parking and a free airport shuttle Monday to Saturday. It works best for early or late flights and business trips to the northern industrial zone, not for sightseeing in central Ankara.
Istanbul · Arnavutkoy · ★★★★
A new 64-room Holiday Inn Express in Arnavutköy, about 15 km (a 10–16 minute drive) from Istanbul Airport, with breakfast included and soundproofed rooms of around 16 m². It is built for the night before an early flight or a long layover rather than for sightseeing: the city centre is roughly 34 km away and there is no metro station within walking distance.
Istanbul · Uskudar · ★★★
A roughly 76-room, three-star Holiday Inn Express in Altunizade on Istanbul's Asian side, with breakfast and parking included in the rate. Guests rate it well for cleanliness and value, but the old city is a 30-minute drive or a metro-and-ferry trip away.
Istanbul · Bahcelievler · ★★★
A 73-room Holiday Inn Express in Şirinevler, about a three-minute walk from Ataköy-Şirinevler station on the M1A metro, with the Metrobus and the Havaist airport bus also within 300-400 m. Breakfast and parking are free and staff get consistent praise; there is no restaurant, pool or spa, and rooms are on the compact side, so it suits short business trips and transit-minded city stays rather than leisure holidays.
Manisa · Yunusemre · ★★★★
A 102-room business hotel on a wooded slope next to Manisa's Organised Industrial Zone, with breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking included and a balcony in every room. It suits drivers and OSB visitors far better than sightseers without a car.
