What guests think

Across many reviews, travelers describe Frt Airlines Hotel - Istanbul Airport as a practical stop for layovers near IST, with generally clean rooms and friendly staff, but recurring issues include noise, confusing property status, and uneven transport and breakfast experiences.

The location is close to IST but set in an industrial area with limited appeal, and reaching the city can take time. Rooms range from compact to spacious, and some guests report ventilation or air-conditioning quirks. Staff are widely praised for being helpful, though a few reviews note booking mix-ups or slow responses; expect a straightforward, transit-focused stay.

Close to the airport, we arrived at 3:00 am to hotel, they still helped us get food. Transportation to and from airport is fast and in a private luxury van, for me and family only. It does not matter whether you are by yourself or there are two people in your party or whole family like us, you always get your own private clean van.

We stayed here for one night due to a long flight layover. Check-in service and staff were friendly and very helpful. Our room was clean, beds were comfortable, and the room did not feel cramped. The location was close to the airport (US $8 cab ride). The hotel offers hotel transfer but it is quite pricey (€58 to airport). We chose to Uber/Yellow Cab back to the airport instead (US $10-12). The hotel has a restaurant but we chose to walk to dinner. The area felt safe enough for walking but dining options were limited. It's not a tourist part of town, in fact it feels very industrial and a bit gritty. Be prepared to be adventuresome if choosing to dine out. We did and had a great meal at a nearby grill (US $10-12 for two), but not sure if everyone would be that adventuresome. Thank goodness for Google translate.

This is my “go-to” hotel when I stay in Istanbul for a long lay over. They have 3 FRT hotels in the same 2 blocks, all are comparably good (if you mix them up, staff will help you :)). This one has a restaurant downstairs so if you don’t want to go across the road for a meal, stay here. The hotel is clean (mild repairs are needed), pleasant room design, comfy bed, staff is super friendly. Good food in the restaurant, fairly priced. The area around the hotel is decent. There is Sok (Turkish chain grocery store) almost next door so you can get your fruits or vegs (or whatever) for a fair price to take with you on the plane. There is another restaurant and a bakery within 2 blocks walking. Area feels safer than what I saw staying in other airport hotels. No barking dogs at night (BIG plus!). Transfer is good FROM the hotel (Mercedes van) and totally worth it for timeliness and reliability. I made an arrangement from IST to the hotel but gave up after waiting for 30 min and being told there will be another 20 min wait. I just took a cab ($10). The ride is 15 min. Bargain the price PRIOR to getting into the cab at the IST, otherwise you will be ripped off. Use your hands or write on paper if you don’t understand.

You get what you pay for. It's a good option to stay the night of the flight layover. The staff is friendly, and the bed is comfortable. But the room seems a little run down with some repairs needed, and staff can do a better job cleaning - there was hair on the floor of the shower stall.

I love this hotel. I love the location, the restaurant and the staff are so nice and helpful. And it's so close to the airport. But they do need to take care of a few things. It looked as if there were some black mold in the shower platform. If it's not that, then they should freshen the area with white calk. Also, the holder for the room key card to control the electricity kept falling off the wall. It's not so hard to fix these items so I look forward to returning on my next trip to Istanbul!

However, the rooms, albeit small, were surprisingly clean and well-maintained. Despite the challenges of the location, one standout aspect was the exceptional service provided by the hotel's driver, Ilhami Guler. His professionalism and dedication to ensuring a comfortable experience were truly commendable. Despite the drawbacks, his service elevated my stay, making it more enjoyable.
