My husband and I stayed here for one night as we awaited for a layover between our planes. It is about 10 minutes by taxi from the airport, making it very convenient for travelers. The area is relatively safe (Arnavutkoy will be transitioning these next few years into an airport neighborhood with the opening of the new airport). The place is in a hotel (and be careful, as their are other "airport/airline hotels nearby" — this book is "FRT Airlines Hotel"). Check-in was easy, and open 24 hours. Staff was friendly and helpful. This booking is a family-style room (one large bed and single bed in one room with adjacent bathroom; in another room two double beds). The hotel has a restaurant connected to it for a simple, but nice Turkish breakfast. We plan to stay again if we are ever passing through Istanbul.
