MQ HOTEL
This is a small hotel on the Black Sea coast. It is spotlessly clean - helpful staff and a good place to be out of the hustle of Istanbul. 30 minutes from IST. You can walk the sea walk and enjoy the view. Great place for a stopover.

Super friendly staff. They arranged our transfers and we didn’t have to move a finger. The food in the restaurant is tasty and fresh. We got a room with ocean view with a balcony. We would come back.
