Renaissance Polat Istanbul Hotel
Latest booking 24 hrs ago
We had taken advantage of Turkish Airlines offer to put us up for 2 nights (breakfast nincluded) so we could become initiated with Istanbul. We were treated regally. Vulkan (front door manager) took care of lining up cabs for us and assured we felt welcome each day and night. **He assured us that all Ubers and Taxis took credit cards - - they do NOT**. This is not Vulkan's fault. The taxis play games. On the way in from the airport to the Renaissance, we were quoted one price, then ended up with another. Perhaps agree on a price, and pay it up front. Aside from the transportation, Ahmet is sensational at the hotel. He is not the concierge, but should have been. Great attention to assuring guests are taken care of and happy. The hotel is wonderful. The location is NOT. From the map, it looks close to the airport --------NOPE! This airport was converted into an Air Force exercise base. It takes about an hour to get to IST, and 25 minutes to get to downtown Istanbul if there's minimal traffic. If you're coming here for business - at this hotel, it's beautiful. The views are great and the pool, etc. The tours which are arranged by Ahmet of the mosques, etc., are well worth the time and money.
Very Good
