GETTING THERE:
We arrived at the airport after a flight from Birmingham via Amsterdam and having read a number of reviews about the taxis from the airport and their enthusiasm for speed and reluctance to accept a fair fare or take four people in one taxi, we choose to book an airport transfer. We were met by a gentleman with our name on his notice and then escorted to a taxi outside. The journey was quite speedy but incident free, a couple of hairy moments, some very close ...
Advantages: fully equipped and comfortable Disadvantages: expensive
I can safely say this is the best hotel I have stayed in to date. Being delayed on a flight back to the UK does not put you in the best of moods but being put up here can certainly brighten your day.
It's safe to say my view may be slightly biased in that i did not have to pay as the airline is obliged to put me up, but that does not change the fact that it is a fantastic hotel. Any place that serves free drinks on welcome to people who are not even paying must have a pretty good degree of class.
But onto the review, the first impressions are very good. the lobby is clean and well designed to give i sense of open space and a welcoming atmosphere with the bar situated openly to the left and seating to the right. The staff at reception are extremely helpful and were quickly able to assign me a room and direct me there.
The rooms are ...
Advantages: Superb facilities, friendly staff Disadvantages: Remote location and complicated to get to the tourist areas, noisy weddings

BUSINESS HOTEL TITANIC
Titanic is a hotel chain in Istanbul, with other hotels dotted around various locations in the city. This hotel is located some 20km from the historic centre of the Europe side, and on the other side of the water on the Asia side. It?s a very new hotel, having opened for business in June 2008, and looks quite incongruous in the immediate area, which looks a little tatty and is under development, with many ...
