Hotels near Balaban göl kenarı, Istanbul

My best recommendations if you are visiting Istanbul. I will try to add to the list depending on what gems i find during my stay. These are what i found so far. 🥳🥳 1. Malls: Florya aquarium is located right by the sea and has a big Aquarium inside the mall, lots of cafeterias all with seaview, a games arcade on the top floor for the children, freshly popped popcorn by the sea promenade which also leads to a beach area and a smaller Tivoli right besides the beach. It has everything you need for a complete day trip including massage chairs for relaxing after all that fun. This is my favourite place in all of istanbul. 2. Transportation - Umit Ates +90 555 170 65 32 Nicest and most honest taxi driver i have ever met. He drives in all of Istanbul and is only a phonecall away. Him and his brother own their own taxi business and they are online 24/7, 7 days a week. Big plus that they speak English since the language barrier is usually a big problem for me when I order a taxi in Istanbul. They do both airport transfers and long distance roadtrips. 3. Best Cappuccino - Mado Café in Karaköy has 3 different flavours and they are all so delicious. It's Hazelnut, Raspberry and Mint. My absolute favourite is Hazelnut because it's so creamy. 4. Cafeteria - Big shout-out to Suflör in Besiktas. Their atmosphere is so homey and lovely with games like the first Nintendo that take you back to your childhood memories. Their sufflé with vanilla ice cream is the best you will ever taste. 😋 Let me know what you think after you try it hahahahaha 😂

I loved the hotel! It's very new and beautifully decorated. The rooms are super clean, neat, and spacious. The window views, especially through the panoramic windows, are just amazing! The hotel grounds were also lovely, with a patio, tables with umbrellas, and paved walkways (and there are also cute and friendly cats outside:) We enjoyed the swimming pool and the hammam - swimming at sunset is truly something special! I loved the peacefulness and quiet of the place. The lobby area was also a favorite of ours, with huge panoramic windows, where you can sit and work. The internet connection was great, and the room had a comfortable desk for working as well. The hotel's location is very convenient, being close to the airport and near a charming town - Karaburun, with its beach, stores, and cafes. You can get there by Uber, hotel taxi, or even by walking (just be careful of the cars and there are no sidewalks), we jogged there one morning, and it only took about 15 minutes to reach the beach. A note about the food - for me it was a wonderful experience trying Turkish cuisine for the first time. The hotel offered delicious breakfasts (the cheese selection was amazing), and we also ordered lunches and dinners. The variety of dishes we tried during our stay was impressive! Everything was super tasty, and the portions were huge. The kitchen staff was super polite, caring, and helpful. Special thanks to the hotel owners and staff. I've stayed in many hotels, but I've never experienced such a high level of hospitality. Even though we were a big group, we always felt well cared for. The hotel staff was always easy to reach, very friendly, and incredibly helpful. If I ever get the chance, I'd definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Stayed here as an overnight airport break. Easy taxi ride from airport without the chaos of going into the city. Gorgeous room, very comfortable. Lovely meal sitting outside in the garden. If only the airline hadn't insisted on keeping our luggage I would have had a much needed swim in the pool. Super helpful hosts. Hope to come back for longer next time.

Photos on the site are real. The view from the window is amazing at sunset. The hotel has only 5 rooms and they are always busy. A little corrupt the impression of the road to the hotel, but on the day of departure, the bruschat is already placed. Near the hotel is a view area with a beacon (acting), you can get a caifane from the view on the sea. The beach is a kind of declared, but you can only swim on the wagons in a calm weather, and it is not easy to go to it. Sand beaches are down the road. Turkish breakfast in the hotel is good and delicious. There is a restaurant at the hotel, but as usual everything is three times more expensive than in the city. To the airport 20 minutes by taxi, be ready - taxi from the application almost not really call, from 10 to 12 taxi to Karaburun almost no. We need transportation, agree a little in advance on the recession, there will be twice more expensive than the usual taxi, but will be Mercedes Vita convenient. In general impression good, the price counts overpriced interest on 20-30, but location and types compensate ...

The pool was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The bed was large and super comfortable, making it easy to relax. Inside the room, the air conditioning was very quiet, which helped create a peaceful atmosphere. We also had a beautiful sea view from our room, which was a great bonus. Nearby, there were a few small shops and restaurants, though some of them didn’t sell alcohol. For breakfast, there was no buffet, but they offered a complete Turkish breakfast or other options from the menu if you didn’t have breakfast included. Negative points: The air conditioning outside the room was very loud and seemed broken. I couldn't have slept without earplugs! Thankfully, we were only there for one night.

I spent 2 nights in this hotel. Location is perfect, not far from Istanbul New Airport. If you want sights, go the other way, here is only peace, sea, flying planes. Rooms are all with balconies coming out on the sea, the beach is clean every morning, in principle clean. Menu is not big but quite diverse, portions are big. Someone complained about the reviews on the ripping is a lie. Everything has a fixed price. Staff is just super. All your tasks are solved. Change money, help with taxi call... Very pleasant people. Sure, I'll go back to this hotel again. A wire in the corners is nonsense compared to everything else. Food from the menu is delicious, spices delicious, bread is just a fairy tale.

The place is near the airport with nice spacious room. The road to the hotel is however quite bumpy and under repairs. It is a good place to stay if you are looking for a place near the airport but far from city center. Should arrive during day time as it can be quite scary when you are in the taxi at night.

Although this hotel is much expensive than other hotels with the same level, the location is superb. If you have flights from IST early morning or have to wait for the next flight over night, the price worth the convenience and comfortableness.

This hotel is situated in the airport. You should do the security check before check in. So very convenient for transfer travellers
