Hilton Garden Inn Istanbul Atatürk Airport

The Hilton was great. We had the option to purchase breakfast and so we did. It was a buffet that lasts about 4 hours. Not that you’d need 4 hours to eat. They had standard items daily and many various items that did change on a daily basis. There were waffles, rolls, bread, croissants, chocolate danishes apple turnover, the had a table full of cheeses, salad items, olives, yogurts. They had toppings for the bread and waffles. There was a hot buffet that served a variety consisting of hotdogs, sausages, potatoes boiled eggs and quiche depending on the day. There is a cook that will make eggs as requested. A counter for orange / other juice, coffee and tea. At your table you would get refills of coffee, tea juice and water by wait staff. The dining area was lovely with floor to ceiling windows on two sides . It was a spacious area and comfortable. The only reason I gave four stars for location because it was far from everything. We only had a choice of 4 restaurants within a 10 min radius. There is a train which will take you to Istanbul mall in 15 - 20 min, it will actually take you to other places as well but with lots of transfers and walking, but I think you pay each time .

The reception staff is very nice - they will help, advise (they changed our room without any problem). Breakfast - perfect. Food is constantly being replenished, wonderful staff, everything is very tasty. Bar - very expensive. Fitness - sufficient. Pool - open from 11:30 - 19:30 including a lifeguard. If the pool was open from 6 am, it would be perfect. This hotel is far from the city center, but you can easily get anywhere by metro (Mimar Sinan)/taxi. I can recommend the hotel.

I have preferred Hilton always, and this one surprisingly located near Basin Express and 2 mins walk to metro station. The rooms are good, breakfast was perfect, the officials, cleaning staff and management are very friendly and always helping. My kids love the pool.
