Street-facing rooms pick up traffic; the building is new and reasonably insulated. Aircraft noise is not a theme in reviews.

Days Inn by Wyndham Istanbul Arnavutköy

Istanbul · Arnavutkoy · ★★★

A 68-room, three-star hotel in Arnavutköy's Karlıbayır district, roughly a 15-minute drive from Istanbul Airport, opened in 2022 under Wyndham's Trademark Collection before becoming a Days Inn. It works best for layovers and early departures rather than sightseeing, as central Istanbul is 45–50 minutes away by car.

Ramada by Wyndham Istanbul Airport Arnavutköy

Istanbul · Arnavutkoy · ★★★★

A new 130-room airport and business hotel in Arnavutköy, about 7 km from Istanbul Airport, well reviewed for clean modern rooms and attentive staff. There is no pool or spa, transfers cost extra and the historic centre is more than 35 km away, so it works best as a layover base rather than for sightseeing.

Istanbul · Arnavutkoy · ★★★

A new Four Points Flex by Sheraton in Arnavutköy, about 14.9 km by road from Istanbul Airport, with a restaurant, bar, free gym and business centre. There is no parking, airport shuttle, room service or free breakfast, so it suits car-free travellers on short stopovers.
