Hampton by Hilton Istanbul Airport, Arnavutkoy
The room, the restaurant, and the arranged transportation to and from the Istanbul Airport were excellent. The staff was friendly and wanted to help. It is not luxurious, but it is clean, practical, and near the airport. Many of the cabin crews of different airlines stay there.
