The stay
Parking is 10 EUR per day. Breakfast is excluded on some rates. Pool caps are charged. Bar drink prices and the hotel's airport transfer are described as expensive in reviews; the transfer is paid. One guest reported an overpriced restaurant recommendation from a third-party tour desk in the lobby, so check prices independently. There is a security check at the entrance.

Alternatives
Istanbul · Bakirkoy · ★★★★
A 92-room Mercure a five-to-seven-minute walk from Bakırköy Square and two shopping malls, with a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, hammam and free covered parking at a modest price. Marmaray and the M1 metro put the old city 15-20 minutes away; the cheapest single rooms are 10 m² and some face a light well.
Istanbul · Zeytinburnu · ★★★★
A 208-room four-star opened in 2007 as Novotel Istanbul and later renovated, facing the Marmara Sea on Kennedy Avenue. Free parking, a seasonal outdoor pool, 9-13 meeting rooms and a free shuttle to Taksim and Sultanahmet make it practical for fair and meeting attendees; coastal road traffic and pool closures on event days are the main drawbacks.
Istanbul · Zeytinburnu · ★★★
ibis Istanbul Zeytinburnu was Türkiye's first ibis, opened in 2007 beside the Novotel on the Kazlıçeşme waterfront: 228 rooms over 7 floors, many with Marmara sea views, free parking and the Zeytinburnu metro-tram interchange about 1 km away, putting Sultanahmet 30 minutes off by tram; the building shows its age, while breakfast and staff draw consistent praise.
