We had an excellent stay here. The staff were very friendly. The room was clean. Very close to a number of restaurants, and the local sights (Hagia Sophia, Sultan Ahmet Mosque, etc.). The only drawback was the gym. There's 2 treadmills and a dumbbell set, but in a crowded small room.

How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Istanbul

Your adventure to Istanbul begins the minute you've completed all the security checks. Here are some useful tips to help you pass through quickly:

Airport security staff will request to see your passport and boarding pass at the checkpoint. Store them in a convenient place, ready for inspection.
You'll have to pause the tunes for a few minutes. Earphones and headphones must be taken off and placed in a tray to be X-rayed. The same applies to items such as heavy jackets and belts.
All laptops need to be taken out of their protective carriers and placed in a tray before going through the X-ray machine.
Hand cream, toothpaste and other toiletry items in gel, liquid or cream form need to be stored in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also fit in a 1-quart (1-liter) clear zip-lock plastic bag.
Think about your choice of footwear. Slippers are awesome because they're a piece of cake to step out of for the airport security checks. Try wearing some on your next journey!
Pocketknives and corkscrews are not permitted on board the plane. Pack them in your checked luggage to avoid leaving them at the airport security checkpoint.
