The rooms were clean and nice. But, the lighting in the room was very dim, and there was no bed side light, just a glow behind the head board. The location is a bit off the beaten path, so once you are at the hotel, you are staying at the hotel, with no where to walk to. There is no alcohol, so be prepared. Dinner is listed in euros and is expensive for what you get. Lots of stairs with no accessibility options. While there are elevators in the buildings, there are steep stairs into the restaurant, and into the building we stayed in.

I was needing a hotel close to Istanbul new airport. Airport is nice and big… but no hotel around. Menalo was presenting itself as an airport hotel with airport shuttle. But I realize that. Hotel is not that close from airport. Shuttle proposed is incredibly crazy compare to Uber. There is NOTHING to do around. Receptionist appear limited in English, I asked him if there was something to see or do on Black Sea Coast at 20km from the hotel he only reply to take a UBER. There is no gym and no pool (incredible on such place). Restaurant is absolutely expensive 18€ for some pasta bolognese. Count around 30 to 40€ for a piece of meat. Far more expensive that same level of hotel inside Istanbul. Do not think joining the center of Istanbul from the hotel, there is no transport except Uber and Istambul center is at 50 min drive. Go there only if you know the place and you know why you are going!

We use this hotel whenever Istanbul is our connecting flight airport and always find our stays at Menalo delightful and relaxing. Their VP shuttle service is impeccable, rooms are clean and spacious, their staff is very welcoming and helpful, the restaurant provides great authentic food options, and overall hotel premises with lots of greenery and flowers are charmingly beautiful. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to escape the chaos of multi-day travels and feel pampered and relaxed while in transit.

The hotel is brand new, the staff are very accommodating, the on-site restaurant serves good food, the room was nice and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, there was a strong and unpleasant odor exuding from the drain in the bathroom sink. We looked under the sink and saw that there is NO trap (elbow) pipe so the smell of sewer permeates the bathroom and the room and the room making it rather unpleasant. We paid just under $200 per night for this hotel and expected better.

Eigentlich gut angelegt. Aber sehr weit weg von alternativen Restaurants, deshalb ist man auf das Hotelrestaurant angewiesen. Preise dort sind überhöht. Die Bedienung muss zu jedem Schritt aufgefordert werden. Zum Frühstück gibt es keine Auswahl. Sehr enttäuschend und befremdlich. Das Bad ist sehr klein und die Fugen der Dusche sind schmutzig, das Silicon ist wohl immer wieder in mehreren Lagen aufgebracht worden aber noch nie ordentlich erneuert.

It's a cute hotel in a mostly undeveloped location. We stayed in early March, so the weather was cool but mild... the room was overheating from the radiators and the air conditioning wouldn't turn on cooling. There were no instructions for the HVAC controls nor the safe. The "King size" bed was just two twin beds pushed together with King Size sheets and they immediately slid apart. The rooms are advertised as "sound proof" but I had to use ear plugs to sleep because of a baby crying and a young child talking loudly in the next room. The sound of any door, footsteps, or voice in the hallway also carried into the room as if the door was not there.

Reason for travel - 1 night close proximity to airport. In the night its noisy we were woken up 2 times because of inconsiderate other guests (no security or rules) - defeated the purpose of staying. Would have rather stayed where we were before in Istanbul city and slept properly. You can hear everything when someone flushes the toilets, takes a shower which is all at random times of the night because others are also catching their flights. They packed all the visitors in our block it felt like. Secondly restaurant is ridiculously expensive for what it is. Would not stay and waste money here again.

The lighting in our room was VERY BAD -- not at all adequate. There were no bed lights to use to read, only a very dim light that went around the headboard of the bed. Our room also had two small balconies, but no chairs to sit there. All the towels were placed in the shower, which made them awkward to use from the sink.

Lovely staff but the room, whilst big with a comfortable bed had significant lack of lighting No reading lamps and poor overall light so unpacking was very difficult The bathroom was also in poor condition with shower drain slow so pooled water when showering. The light over the mirror was broken and flickered constantly. Two lovely balconies had unlockable doors No body lotion supplied. In short it was a quiet hotel, set in lovely gardens with willing staff but in hotel in poor condition. The food we ate was good enough. The airport to hotel car transfer of about 15 minutes was €60 return

Great Airport Hotel. We were due to land at about 1am local time and I didn't want to trek all the way into the city so late after a long flight. I was concerned about our late check in, so contacted the hotel directly and they were very helpful and quick to respond. It turned out we had the journey from hell and arrived at about 6am local time and there were still 3 staff there to greet us and help us with luggage. I was very impressed and would recommend this hotel highly.
