The realistic view

Beyond the first impression

Verified information only

A new 93-room, five-star business hotel 2 km from the TÜYAP Fair and Congress Center, with free parking, a spa with sauna and hammam, and a free fair-period shuttle to TÜYAP. There is no pool, and at roughly 38 km from the Old City it works far better for trade-fair trips than for sightseeing.

What it does well

  • Trade-fair and congress visitors at TÜYAP
  • Business travellers arriving by car who want free on-site parking
  • Anyone with meetings in the Beylikdüzü–Büyükçekmece industrial belt or around Ambarlı Port

What to watch for

  • No pool, and no extra beds or cribs.
  • Review counts are still low, so the high scores rest on a small sample.
  • City-breakers: First-time visitors who want to explore Sultanahmet or Taksim

Location

Istanbul, Buyukcekmece

Çakmaklı Mah. Ali Çebi Cad. No:5, 34500 Büyükçekmece / İstanbul

Rail transit · 6.0 km

Istanbul Airport (IST) is about 40 km by road, around 33 minutes without traffic. The hotel has no airport shuttle, but a paid private transfer can be arranged. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is much further, about 60 km in a straight line.

The hotel sits in Çakmaklı, Büyükçekmece, overlooking Büyükçekmece Lake. TÜYAP Fair and Congress Center is about 2 km away (roughly a 3-minute drive), and during exhibitions the hotel runs a free shuttle there; seats are limited, so reserve at reception a day ahead. Perlavista and Akbatı malls are a 5–6 minute drive, First Avenue mall 3.9 km, the Büyükçekmece lavender garden 4.1 km and Büyükçekmece beach roughly 4.5 km. Hagia Sophia is around 38 km away, so trips to the Old City can take a long time in traffic. The nearest rail link, Ispartakule station, is about 13 minutes by car.

The stay

Editor's notes

Noise & sound insulation

Several guests describe the setting as quiet and away from the city bustle. There's no hard data on soundproofing and no complaints found so far, but with few reviews it's too early for a firm verdict.

Extra fees & things to know

Breakfast costs extra on room-only rates. EV charging and airport drop-off (private transfer) are charged separately, as are spa treatments. The cardholder must present the booking card at check-in. Rates swing sharply with the fair calendar: trivago's 30-day data shows the same room ranging from roughly USD 78 to 217 a night.

Pool, spa & fitness

There is no pool, indoor or outdoor. The Joya Spa has a sauna, Turkish hammam, steam room and a menu of massages and body treatments (Swedish, Thai, aromatherapy), which are charged separately. The gym is open 24 hours.

Ramada by Wyndham Beylikdüzü

Istanbul · Esenyurt · ★★★★

Despite the Beylikdüzü name, this 120-room hotel sits in Esenyurt beside a motorway junction, about 1.5 km from the TÜYAP fairgrounds; with an indoor pool, spa, four event spaces, and free parking it serves fair-goers and Turkish Airlines layover guests, but the city center is 30+ km away and guest reviews are mixed, including air-conditioning complaints in summer.

Sheraton Istanbul Esenyurt

Istanbul · Esenyurt · ★★★★★

A 269-room Sheraton opened in 2022 in Esenyurt, on Istanbul's far western side, about 750 m from Akbatı mall. It suits business travellers, event guests and spa-focused stays better than sightseeing, as the historic peninsula is roughly 30-34 km away.

Hilton Garden Inn Istanbul Beylikdüzü

Istanbul · Esenyurt · ★★★★

A 144-room, four-star business hotel opened in 2015, about 1.5 km from the TÜYAP Fair and Congress Center and roughly 450 m from the Cumhuriyet Mahallesi metrobus stop. It has an indoor pool, 24-hour gym, free covered parking and six meeting rooms, but no spa, and it sits around 35 km from Istanbul's historic centre, so it suits trade-fair and west-side business trips far better than sightseeing.
