The realistic view

Beyond the first impression

Verified information only

A 231-room, all-steel high-rise on the D-100 highway in Avcılar, opened in December 2012 and geared to trade-fair and business travellers rather than sightseers. The Metrobüs stop is at the door, Tüyap and CNR expo centres are about 20 minutes away, and the old city is roughly a 40-minute drive; breakfast and parking are charged separately.

What it does well

  • Business trips to Tüyap, CNR Expo or the Avcılar-Beylikdüzü industrial belt
  • Car-free travellers who will use the Metrobüs to reach the city
  • Longer work stays that want an indoor pool, hammam and sauna on site

What to watch for

  • Breakfast and parking cost extra; restaurant prices are high and portions small.
  • Explorers on foot: Sightseers who want to walk to Sultanahmet or Beyoğlu (about 40 minutes by car)
  • Guests expecting breakfast and parking in the rate
