The realistic view

Beyond the first impression

Verified information only

A 259-room IHG hotel on the waterfront of the Viaport Marina complex in Tuzla, on Istanbul's far Asian side, with 40 m² standard rooms facing the marina or the Sea of Marmara. It works well for business trips along the Tuzla–Pendik–Gebze belt, Sabiha Gökçen stopovers and families heading to Viaport's theme park and aquarium. There is no pool or spa, and the old city is roughly 44 km away.

What it does well

  • Business travellers with meetings in Tuzla, Pendik or Gebze
  • Travellers with early departures or late arrivals at Sabiha Gökçen (about 20 km)
  • Families planning to use Viaport's theme park, aquarium and outlet mall

What to watch for

  • The hotel shut mid-stay in April 2025 and was also closed from 29 August to 31 December 2025. Check the refund terms before you book.
  • City-breakers: First-time visitors who want to explore Sultanahmet and Beyoğlu (about 44 km away)
  • Spa & wellness: Guests expecting a pool, spa or hammam

Good to know

The stay

Editor's notes

Noise & sound insulation

Sleep quality is one of the hotel's highest sub-scores on Tripadvisor. Even so, Trivago's review summary mentions noise carrying between rooms. Light sleepers may want to ask for a room away from the lifts and service areas.

Extra fees & things to know

Breakfast is charged separately on most rates, at about EUR 20 per adult and EUR 15 per child. Extra beds cost about EUR 20 per night and valet parking about EUR 5 per day. Airport transfers are paid, with no free shuttle. The outdoor car park and Wi-Fi are free. Guests must be at least 18 to check in.

Pool, spa & fitness

There is no pool, as IHG's official page confirms. The Serenita Fitness gym runs fitness classes. The official site lists no spa, hammam or sauna. Some suites have an in-room jacuzzi.
