We stayed here for one night after our flight in from Cappadocia and before our flight the next day back to the US. This was the nicest looking Holiday Inn I've ever seen. The lobby is huge and beautiful. There was a nice bar in the area. Our room was gorgeous and pretty large. The bathroom was very spacious and... more

Nice hotel, good service, no complaints. Bit far from Istanbul City, but ideal if you need to get to the airport. Free shuttle bus, but not very early in the morning. more

The hotel needs to increase shuttle frequency because it is far from the airport in the middle of nowhere. Taxis are expensive in Istanbul. You are far from sights. But for the price you get a modern attractive room. Airconditioning is very weak as with many hotels in Istanbul. Good restaurant and facilities. more

Yes, it is a long way away from the airport. But $22 TL (approx) isn't bad. The staff has always been very kind. The trip in June 2009, front desk staff was a bit stand offish, but the quality was still very nice. The food is very good. The 15th Floor Bar and Lounge is very nice. Hotel carries a... more

The hotel bills itself as an airport hotel but it is not all that close to the airport and the shuttle runs infrequently. We had to take a taxi both too and from the airport costing at least $10 each way when our entire reason for staying there was the alleged proximity to the airport and free shuttle. The staff... more

I like Holiday Inns in general, but this one desperately needs to put their staff through some customer service training. I found them inefficient, rude and surly about it. Hotel building it very new with free internet access and free airport shuttle (although infrequent, make sure to get times from hotel!) is great. This Hotel is in the middle of... more

Hotel is ok, rooms are clean and up to date. Service stuff is selfish, unprofessional, unfriendly Check out needs time, unprofessional, unfriendly - chaotic If you come with your own car very difficult to find, no indication for help, wrong information from Hotel stuff. No windows to open more

The HI Istanbul north hotel is very clean and comfortable and a wonderful place to overnight if you are flying out the next day. As others have said, though, it's located in an industrial zone and there is literally *nothing* of use to travellers nearby. The restaurants at the hotel are very good but extremely expensive: 17 lira for a... more

Stayed here for one night, as would most people staying at an airport hotel. The hotel itself is very nice, clean and comfortable, with helpful staff. The Ottoman restaurant offered excellent food, but the service was slightly surly and unfriendly. The hotel staff were fine, very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and functional with a nice bathroom. The... more
