A trip to the fair.
With the TUYAP, CNR and IFM Fair Centres all a short distance from the hotel, it makes a perfect base if you are attending a conference or event being held in those venues. Ataturk International Airport is also less than 15 kilometres away.
positive:
Sweet treat when you meet.
Guests say they really enjoy checking-in at DoubleTree by Hilton Istanbul Avcilar because they are greeted with a free chocolate-chip cookie upon arrival. It may be a small token of appreciation, but it’s a treat cookie-lovers will like.
positive:
Hop on the bus.
The Metro Bus Station is a short walk away from the hotel and has buses going to locations all over Istanbul. This is a great way to save money if you’re looking to avoid hiring a car or taking a taxi.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Minibar shenanigans.
Some guests have reported issues with the minibar when checking out from the hotel. If you don’t want a problem, guests advise not to open it in the first place unless you intend on buying something.
negative:
The wrong way to start the day.
Visitors note that breakfast is not exactly a great experience. A lack of decent coffee and an overall lack of quality from the food have been guests’ chief complaints. You might want to brave the streets for an authentic Turkish coffee in the morning.
negative:
Prepare for a trek.
If you want to see Istanbul’s old city including the famous Hagia Sophia and Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque), be prepared for a journey. Depending on traffic it can be a 45-minute to an hour drive to get to that part of the city.
