The realistic view
A 285-room, 24-storey Sheraton set in 40,000 m² of seafront grounds in Ataköy, Bakırköy, with indoor and outdoor pools, a spa with a hammam and a top-floor club lounge. The Galleria mall and an M3 metro stop are about 100 m away, but the old city is roughly 10 km and Istanbul Airport 45 km, so it suits business trips and resort-style city breaks better than first-time sightseeing.

Location
Istanbul, Bakirkoy
Rauf Orbay Caddesi (Sahilyolu) No:10, Ataköy 1. Kısım Mah., 34158 Bakırköy/İstanbul
Rail transit · 319 m
Istanbul Airport (IST) is about 45 km away, roughly 50 minutes by car without traffic; Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is about 50 km. The hotel arranges paid transfers to both airports on request.
The hotel sits on the coastal road (Rauf Orbay Caddesi) in Ataköy, Bakırköy, facing the Sea of Marmara. Galleria Ataköy mall is about 100 m away and Ataköy Marina, with its fish restaurants and cafés, about 500 m or a five-minute walk. The official site puts the M3 Bakırköy–Kayaşehir metro stop about 100 m from the entrance, and Bakırköy Marmaray station is around an 18-minute walk. Sultanahmet is roughly 10 km away, so reaching the old city means Marmaray or a taxi.
The stay
Rooms are in a 24-storey tower set within 40,000 m² of grounds, and guests on upper floors describe them as quiet. The hotel is a busy wedding and event venue, so the lobby and public areas can get crowded on event weekends; one guest wrote that event attendees and hotel guests were competing for the same space.
The official site lists in-room Wi-Fi as free only for Marriott Bonvoy members booking direct; some booking sites advertise free Wi-Fi, so confirm at check-in. Pets carry a non-refundable fee of €100 per stay. Airport transfers are on request and paid: €120 one way to Istanbul Airport and €150 one way to Sabiha Gökçen. Valet costs €10, and breakfast may be extra depending on the rate.
Facilities include a heated indoor pool, a seasonal outdoor pool in the gardens and a whirlpool. Positive Spa has a sauna, steam room and Turkish hammam, and the fitness centre is listed as complimentary on the official site. A review from the pandemic period reported gym hours of only 10:00–18:00, so check current times if you train early or late.

Alternatives
Istanbul · Bakirkoy · ★★★★
A 98-room, four-star hotel in Istanbul's Ataköy area near the marina and Carousel mall, with an indoor pool, spa, and sea-view rooms; popular for business stays and airline stopovers, with paid parking and breakfast excluded from some rates.
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 · Bakirkoy · ★★★
An 86-room, 8-floor Hampton set inside the leafy Ataköy residential district of Bakırköy, with hot buffet breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking included in the rate. The Ataköy Marmaray station is a 7-10 minute walk; there is no pool or spa, parking is tight, and the old city is a train or taxi ride away.
