The stay

Editor's notes

Breakfast & dining

Breakfast is a buffet with Turkish staples such as tahini and molasses, but pricey if not included in the rate. The lobby's Kalecik Bar & Bistro serves an all-day menu, and Armada mall's restaurants are a short walk.

Room types

Standard business-hotel rooms, some with a bathtub. If noise matters, request an upper-floor room away from the street and club side, and be aware that room changes are hard to get when the hotel is full.

Noise & sound insulation

Late-night music from neighbouring venues, even on weekdays, is the most common complaint; choose your room accordingly.

Extra fees & things to know

Breakfast is excluded on some rates and expensive. The airport shuttle is paid. Spa treatments are extra.
