Frt Airlines Hotel - Istanbul Airport

Great for overnight stopover near İstanbul Havalimanı (IST) if you don't want to visit the city. The stop (Hasan Tahsin Caddesi) of Airport bus H-6 is abot 150 m from the hotel. Bus ride takes about 40 min, there is one bus per hour. There is restaurant downstairs and supermarket nearby, so you can buy some food and drinks - cards accepted. The hotel has two buildings on opposite sides of the street. The room has comfortable bed, tea-pot and free mini-bar with cold water. If you decide to come with H-6 bus, there are a few caveats: 1. Beware that Google Map drives you to a wrong bus stop (Vıp Terminal). Closest stop is in the underground near airport, 100m away from the Havaist bus. 2. You cannot pay by credit card or cash in H-6 bus. You need either Istanbulkart or temporary ticket 3. I could not buy Istanbulkart in huge and modern Istanbul Airport (there are machines for selling, but the cards were not available, top up only). If you already have Istanbulkart, you can top up with your credit card. Up to 5 people can travel with one Istanbulkart 4. Beware that ticket selling machine gives you the rest with 1 turkish lira coins. Do not insert big notes and do not wait too long or you will end up with bag full of coins. It is difficult (but not impossible) to feed the machine back with coins 5. You have to pay double fare to ride H-6 bus. You need 4 fare units to travel to the hotel and back, but the temporary tickets are sold in bundles of 3 units 6. You cannot buy tickets at Hasan Tahsin Caddesi bus stop, so be prepared and buy tickets or top up your Istanbulkart in advance

1 - Great location, direct connection with airport by bus or 15-20 min by taxi at quite affordable price. 2 - Highly professional staff. A sincere and big thanks to a lady named Merve, who took great care of us at a reception and was extremely helpful and super positive. 3 - Perfect option for night/day stay between the flights. 4 - Large family room with 2 bedrooms and 4 beds is great for the family of 4 or 5.

The hotel is located near the airport. Comfortable rooms and good service. I didn't take advantage of the breakfast, but as I understand it, breakfast is served at the cafe across the street from the hotel. I really liked this hotel and Ms. Merve at the reception. She tried to help with everything and was very friendly. I thank her very much. I will try to visit this hotel again on my next visit and I hope Ms. Merve will be on this shift

Consistently Excellent Stay! I have stayed at FRT Airlines in Arnautica multiple times, and the experience is always outstanding. The service is consistently excellent, the location is great, and the newly renovated building adds even more comfort. The rooms are modern, spacious, and very comfortable, making every stay enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

The staff at the hotel are beyond excellent. Even when calling for cabs they are making sure to put your best interests forward by asking for prices etc to stop you being ripped off. Great knowledge of the city and are genuinely interested in what you have done with your day when you see them later. The room is excellent. The shower was superb. You have fresh water bottles in the room and a fridge. The cleaning staff do an excellent job of cleaning the room for you while your out and even switched our bedding as they realized we would be too hot in a duvet. The location is on a main road with the restaurant owned by the hotel across the street. The restaurant is excellent and value for money. There is a local shop that is full of everything you may need again excellent. A little souvenir shop across the road is more than enough for you to grab what you need for family and friends and the gentleman in there was welcoming and not at all pushy which I really liked. Wonderful place
