Air Boss Airport and Fair Hotel in Istanbul

Poor experience in this hotel that location is bad so far from all activities

1. **Recommendation**: A hotel offering good value for money.
2. **Floor**: I'd recommend avoiding the ground floor (which is actually a lower-ground floor upon entering at the front desk). The restaurant is on the same level as the front desk, so it can get quite noisy with the sound of chairs being dragged.
3. **Style & Class**: This is an economy hotel, similar in style to budget chains like 7 Days Inn or Home Inn. The rooms are decent and moderately sized.
4. **Beds**: Single beds are typically around 80cm wide, and double beds are made by combining two single beds.
5. **Cleanliness**: The overall cleanliness is good. However, for extended stays, it's advisable to inform the hotel if you require daily housekeeping.
6. **Amenities**: No dental kits are provided, and there's no kettle or hairdryer. The toiletries are in small bottles; I didn't use them as I had brought my own.
7. **Breakfast**: Breakfast is quite decent and good value for the price. For those who might not be used to local fare, there are options like bread, salad, slightly spicy potato cubes, fried eggs, and boiled eggs, which are perfectly fine. The ham slices are also good; overall, it's acceptable.
8. **Dining**: An entire floor is dedicated to the front desk and dining area, which also includes a separate smoking restaurant. The à la carte menu and coffee options are quite decent compared to what's available nearby. If you don't mind dining in, the hotel's lunch and dinner are often cheaper than options in the immediate vicinity or city center, offering good value and acceptable taste.
9. **Transportation**: A bus stop is less than 200 meters away, which is very convenient and affordable if you're comfortable using public transport. I didn't see a dedicated parking lot, but it's usually possible to find parking spots right in front of the hotel.
10. **Outdoor Area**: The outdoor area is very pleasant, featuring four open-air tables and cedar trees. It's a comfortable spot to sit outside, especially for smokers.
11. **Laundry**: There's no washing machine available at the hotel. For longer stays, a 5-minute walk will lead you to a BIM supermarket, small shops, barbershops, and laundromats, all with very reasonable prices.
12. **Recommended For**: Ideal for self-driving tourists, exhibitors at the Tuyap Exhibition Center, or anyone comfortable using public transport. Suitable for both business and leisure stays.
13. **Location**: Not in a bustling city center, it's primarily situated in a residential area, feeling quite clean, convenient, and safe. The hotel is a converted residential building, but it's very well done, with a level of quality and comfort comparable to mainstream domestic business hotels. Superb value for money.
