Guest Reviews
- Melike (8/5): - The room cleaning was acceptable, and the location is excellent in terms of proximity to the fair center. The staff were friendly, and I was satisfied.
- Ahmet Cemil (10/5): - Otel fuar alanında ve metro hattının önünde. Ulaşım kolay, otel temiz ve rahattı, kahvaltısı güzel
- Luis (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and it was close to the Trade Show I was attending, a mere 7 minute walk.
- Erdem (10/5): - Hotel is a bit outdated but rooms are good and the beds were very comfy
- Steven (10/5): - This was my second stay at this hotel Very pleased with both visits.
- Martin (6/5): Not quite the WoW hotel - Rooms too hot! Air con only works in the summer months. Heating either on or off, no adjustment.
Pillows very uncomfortable, like stuffed sandbags.
Shower not good pressure, just a dribble and fluctuates from hot to cold.
- Malcolm (8/5): - Hotel was very warm inside they could not turn the air on down so had to sleep with open window and have a fan but noise was an issue as it was looking over train tracks
- yousef (8/5): - Area was not great
- Mark (6/5): Hotel fine Wi-Fi not - Hotel was fine. Wi-Fi was terrible. Up down and slow.
- Miriam (10/5): Comfortable and convenient - We have stayed here many times before and consistently find this hotel to be efficient, comfortable and convenient for our business trips
- Frank (8/5): - ,
- kamran (10/5): - Very good hotel with nice staff.
- raisa (10/5): - Very friendly people. Very clean room and comfortable bed .
- ruth (4/5): - The staff upon arrival was not very welcoming. The room smelled like cigarettes and they refused to change me to another room, the front desk woman suggested I opened the window..
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Very poor standards.
- Isabella (8/5): - I was extremely happy I was given long check out time.
The security guys would get me a taxi in less than 2 minutes each time I wanted it. They would also help me to explain to them were I was going!
The only thing I didn’t like is that guys could smoke and when out of the lift you here the smell.
- Yuriy (8/5): - Гарно, але не так, як 10 років тому :)
- suleyman (6/5): - If you are attending to any show at CNR it is great place to stay. One minute walking. Hotel itself very much outdated and area is depressing.
- Charles Magno (4/5): Site information aren’t true. - I was in Wow Istanbul with my family for 3 nights.
What we found in the hotel does not correspond to what we saw on the website, for example, there was no kettle, justification from the reception was that we are in the middle of a pandemic,(hot water, coffee, tea, pandemic 🤔)
the decor doesn't match, the room proves to be old and poorly renovated.
The service at reception leaves something to be desired, they respond rudely.
The maids are very helpful.
The internet sucks.
The break fast is very good.
The bistro's food is good, but very few options.
I don’t wanna be back again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I like the breakfast setting . Everything available and well presented for breakfast. Hotel property very good and staff very helpful.
We liked everything full stop! The area, environment, easy access to shop, public transport and cab on demand .
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Conservative, old fashioned hotel, which is good and charming. The property is surrounded by security and safety barriers which makes it difficult for guest to go for an interesting walk. Very few commercial retail around this hotel. On the other hand, security is superb.
- Mommy (8/5): - Staff very friendly, close to public transportation and excellent breakfast!
- Rami (10/5): - Nice hotel i recommend it for families and business.
- VLADIMIR (6/5): - Air condition doesn't work - hotel turns it off for the whole winter period. The only way to cool down the room is to open a window, BUT... There is a railway station near the hotel and the trains run from early morning till late night with uncomfortable level of noise. In addition to the noise there are moskitos freely flying into the open window... Other than the above everything else is fine. The convenient free parking downstairs, clean rooms, very friendly staff, close to the fair grounds, a couple of restaurants with decent food nearby.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were great. They were as helpful as one could be.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel is a four star hotel. The room big the baths clean the staff very helpful.
The location great
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Its much more better than other hotels ive stayed in istanbul. The disadvantage was the the area to the ciry area as it takes about an hour by metro to there. But the rest is good.
- Mary C (10/5): Amazing hotel - This was a wonderful hotel. I chose it at the last minute due to some changes in my airport. I'm glad I chose this hotel. Me and my daughter really enjoyed the beauty and elegance of this hotel and the helpful staff. The breakfast was amazing! I will recommend this hotel to everyone.
- Daniel (8/5): Needed a room close to airport - Familly holidays in Turquey. After spending two weeks in Turkey, we needed to fly back home. I needed a place to stay close to the airport and Wow came out as a top recommendation... just a mile away. Problem is with the new IST airport, only Hotels available are much more expensive. This one is 35 km away... not ideal. We woke up at 5 am to get to the airport and it took 30 minutes just to get a cab, looks like paying with a credit card caused the issue. Otherwise, rooms were great and very affordable.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The breakfast not good, not enough cooked food , every day same boring stuff, some of items I didn’t eat at home they served, receptionist lady was very very rude, they charged me 15tr for Pepsi which I didn’t had, there’s big argument at reception they called me lair for 15tr. They hold £100.00 deposit cash from day one. Lake of understand of English speaking or understand. It was worse experience staying in WoW Istanbul Hotel.
- Rebwar (2/5): - Internet was very slow, they need to improve services overall
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Everything is so nice person l like to hotel it’s very personally
- peter (8/5): - Possible laundry charging scam.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good hotel . Clean . But not in city centre this is a disappointment for hotel
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Fast courteous service. Room key operates the whole room. Clean and pretty hotel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It’s ok but bedding should be improved and need to have iron and iron board in the room
- Mohammed (2/5): Reception cheated us, bedsheets didn’t changed! - so Unprofessional service! Hotel doesn’t even reach to 2 stars! Plus bad location! Un friendly staff of course! Reception people try to cheat us! They charge for internet! Bedsheets and towels are looked use and not washed! Room Smell was awful! Don’t believe on pictures to book this hotel! Never suggest to anyone! Look for other hotels with same price!
- Fazilat (4/5): “Reception”they we’re officiant - Hotel was near Metro
Easy to go around
But restaurant staff were not up to standard of 5 star hotel
Service was poor
Food was ok
Drinking Water for room was complimentary
But second day there was no drinking water
I was charge 15 lira for a bottle of water
Tea service was in the room complimentary but no kettle provided
No iron or ironing board in the room
It wasn’t up to standard of five star hotel in general I would give 2-3 star
To this hotel
- khaled (10/5): Awesome - Very good
- Verified traveler (8/5): - good and kind staff, very good location, easy access to the city centre
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Was pleasantly surprised by an upgrade, the room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and it was wonderfully set up. Only stayed 1 night and it was perfectly located to the new Istanbul airport (approx 30 mins away). Great hotel
- Verified traveler (10/5): - All were excellent .staff and clean food was very nice
- Chinenye (10/5): Outstanding - Everything about WOW hotel was amazing and outstanding, we enjoyed our stay, the train station was just within the hotel, which made it for us to commute to places. I have already told friends and families about WOW and will visit again. Lovely food, gym facilities, swimming pool, amazing staff, etc.
- Mehdi (8/5): - The room is very clean. Although the hotel is far from the new Airport, the metro station is very near tothe hotel...
- Verified traveler (2/5): - not a good chose at all!! rude staff!! unacceptable service!!
- Gabriel (2/5): Bad experience - The breakfast is good and the rest is as my comments
- Faisal (4/5): Ok for biz travelers - Ok for biz travelers. Close to airport. Too much security. But if you want to see Istanbul, best to stay in city center close to the blue mosque.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The staff were very pleasant and helpful and willing to assist when you are in doubt. The place was clean and tidy. The Breakfast was wonderful. The staff also went out of their way to call the Cab service from the airport who delayed in picking us up for the tour. Thank you.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Negativeness on my stay. - First of all, I stayed in execute room. As it is written and promised on information sheet in the room, there was no fruit basket on arrival. The thing is I am not booking a room for a fruit basket which is something very cheap but since they offer and include their services for room price, so as a customer I am just expecting what they offer which is fair.
Secondly, air condition was not working properly. It was blowing hot air. I gave a call to reception, they offered me to change my room. I accepted, it was changed but the new one also was very hot. A/C was blowing hot air because of centralized A/C. They send a technician to unlock the window in the room to able to open it wide open. But It was still insufficient to ventilate the room. Because of hot and humid air inside, my sleep was interrupted and I woke up a couple of times during my sleep. It was uncomfortable stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The pool and sauna was very good. Breakfast was much better than I expected.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - It was very safe. But Air Conditioning did not work
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very quit clean and comfortable, very pleasant stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect hotel and very good service and the price was good I will go again soon
- Alejandra (10/5): excellent - We only stayed one night but the hotel is very beautiful, comfortable and the breakfast buffet was fantastic
- Karen (4/5): - The place was very clean and it was a great place to stay aside from the staff.
The staff I dealt with were unfriendly and shuttle service was not provided even though it is advertised. At checkin, the staff asked me repeatedly if I had the correct hotel and whether I wasn’t looking for the hotel down the street which was significantly cheaper. When ordering room service, we were given the wrong meal. These kind of mistakes happen but when it comes to them happening consistently, it is disappointing.
In addition, being a foreigner is not the best when a hotel company promises to pick you up from the airport but then don’t come when you call them that you have arrived. They stated the shuttle service will not be coming and it was not longer an option. A reimbursement of the cost of getting to the hotel or a refund for this service would have been nice as the hotel was an hour away from the airport.
- Samer (10/5): - Close to expo center and very convenient.
Practical service and comfortable.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great staff and very helpful. Great currency exchange rate as well!
- Verified traveler (2/5): - This is a run down property, should not be running as hotel. It is a very old building with few grumpy staffs, very rude, dirty room, old furniture and very trashy place.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Morning time minibar not fild.sliper for only one person not two
- Peter (8/5): Convenient for the old airport..... - I've stayed here several times because it was so close to IST airport, but with the new international airport opening on 6 April 2019, I doubt I'll be back just because the location will no longer be convenient for me. Shame for this hotel, it's always been reliable
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Apart from the close proximity to the airport, nothing special about this place. Check in also took much longer than needed as they did not take the time to listen properly.
- Mehernavaz (8/5): If you are attending a convention at CNR then WOW - Just perfect for my business trip to CNR
- Laurence (10/5): Wonderful! - Nice room, very clean. Fruit basket in the room, great gym facility, superb breakfast.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - nice ambiance & very excellence services. Definitely, I will stay here again!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very close to the exhibition center
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff ar front desk was very good . Helped us to get tours of town and information
- Verified traveler (2/5): - property was ok just at the end checking out i felt i have paid more money than i should,bill was 112 euro,at the checking first time i have paid 150 i would get my change back when checking out,i offered to give 2 euro in order to get 40, they said they don't accept coins,so they gave me 40 back and they ask me to give 36 lira. 2 euro is not worth 36 lira !!! for my extras i have paid 90 lira other than my room price,so basicly what i shout pay is 112 euro for the two days stay, 2 bottle water x 6 =12 1x15 ice tea and 1 breakfast total 90 lira, diffrence of two euro i paid 36 lira. people are not stupid,non of this money is matter for me but your guest do realize what's going on,
Ps. staff and everything else was perfect
- Steve (8/5): Great for CNR Expo Centre - I was attending a trade show at the very close by CNR Expo centre, so the hotel is in the perfect spot, with just a 10 min walk. However, the area itself is rundown, pretty crappy, with little immediate choice for food, etc. The hotel itself is fine, perhaps showing its age a little around the edges. Breakfast is decent, with a good buffet selection and omelette station. The new bar is a welcome addition. Overall, fine for attending trade shows and pretty decent value.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice experience - It was a nice and comfortable stay, the room was big and spotlessly clean, it was a perfect place to stay for bussiness trip
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location,very happy with service,highly recomended
- Mr J Sadler (2/5): Smoky non smoking room - Non smoking room , smelt strongly of smoke.
- Fulya (4/5): - Dirty, old but the staff was helpful
- Gokhan (10/5): Best option for airport - Best option for airport stay. 5 minutes by taxi and costs 10 lira (apprx 2 euros) to get the airport.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice hotel close to airport and they have transportation too
- DAGOMAR (8/5): Nice hotel near the airport - Just one night while waiting connection. I have not used any facilities in there. Nice hotel near the airport.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - We went for a drink at the bar, I ordered a gin and tonic and my friend ordered a vodka martini.
They didn’t know how to make either one, not challenging drinks. Was short pours, almost no ice and no lime in the gin and tonic.
For the martini, she just put a short pour of vodka in a tall glass, not even an olive!!
The room was excessively hot and the air conditioning didn’t work. Made it difficult to sleep.
- Karl (8/5): EXcellent for price and best near IST Airport - Nice room convenient location and better breakfast than the other airports hotele in istanbul. its very inexpensive so for what you pay its an amazing deal. i hvae treid a few hotels within 3-10 minutes drive from IST airport this had best breakfast and very comfortable mattress.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good service, excelent consierge service, maybe can have a small extra frigerster for those who neef one in room
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Nice staff. Nice restaurant but hotel needs renovation.
- Eco Statics (10/5): - Very nice. Great room and helpful staff
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel shuttle was prompt in picking us up from the airport.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Wrong hotel - Actually, I stayed at Wow airport because the two hotels are close and the taxi driver went to the 4 stars unity. When I get there there was a very long line and after a long wait in the line I found out the hotel was wrong (and it was awful)
- Alex (8/5): - The location is great for overlay staying. 8 min from airport by taxi. Staff are friendly, speak some english. It was easy to communicate. Breakfast was amazing! The variety and quality of food is EXCELLENT by the highest world standards. Though, be careful using coffee cups in their rooms, and check on toilet seat condition before using those. I found one clean cup and one used one with lipstick and coffee residue on it. I also had to wipe some funny spots from the toilet seat. Could be cleaner or... not. House keeping is sloppy.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - spa wasnt open when it should have been. Bummer.
- ahmed (8/5): - It's need more care for become 5*, also bf need doing some changes dealy...
- Verified traveler (8/5): - far from downtown but close to metro and taxis available
- Nancy (10/5): Wow is wonderful! - Terrific hotel located near the airport. Exceptional breakfast, clean rooms and friendly staff are perfect way to spend a day near the airport.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Hotel restaurant and room free wifi - Hotel restaurant and wifi are not up to the standard of the hotel. The food (chicken meat) we have (dinner) at the restaurant are surprisingly only halfdone, so disappointed. The room free wifi is really suck, to get more stable wifi, you have to pay Euro 6/day..
- Mahdi (8/5): - GOOD AND CLOSE TO AIRPORT
- Verified traveler (10/5): - All good but only in the bathroom toiletries missing
- Simon (6/5): Not 5 Star but close to airport - Claims to be 5 star but its actually nearer 3.5 star. Old rooms showing signs of wear and tear particularly the bathrooms which look pretty shabby. The gym is OK - again a bit dated equipment but no water dispenser - really 5 star??? Wifi painfully slow unless you want to pay to upgrade. Breakfast was average - quality not great. All in all disappointing but it was cheap. On the plus side very close to the airport with reliable free transfer. My advice is rate this as 3.5 star and you wont be disappointed.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The property is clean and the staff are friendly. The free internet is kind of useless
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice to reach Metro , but also little bit noisy due to the Metro .
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Bathtub drain not working properly , other than everything else great
- Faraz (8/5): Ok hotel not awesome - The hotel itself is ok. The location is good only if you want to leave early or you are here for expo Center. Other wise location it is very bad. It takes about 45 mins to reach city Center. The breakfast is a average. Overall not a bad experience.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel, worth for the money. Close to airport. Good for short stay trip
- Verified traveler (8/5): - "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid." If you have a layover <24 hours, this is the place for you. Location is close to the airport, but you are about a 30 minute drive from the city center.
- Matt (8/5): - Great hotel for a stopover. As our flight got in at 5am, the hotel staff were great and arranged an early checkin woth ease. Its a few minutes taxi from the airport and just round the corner from the metro which goes into the centre. Could not fault it.
- Said (6/5): Not great but serves a purpose - It is a decent hotel if you want to be close to the airport
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Comfortable stay, staff are friendly, breakfast is good, close to airport and metro. Wi-fi quality could be improved.
