Just as expected, this is a very new hotel - and looks good and modern. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was perfect. The room was a bit small, but definitely comfortable enough. Avcilar is definitely quite far away from downtown Istanbul, but the metrobus, which has a station 700m away from the hotel, takes you there in less than an hour, so you don't have to care about rush hours and traffic jams. Connection to the airport is also very good - with a direct airport bus stopping not far away from the hotel (stop is called Avcilar Mosque and it's so strange why Google Maps don't show it), but you can also choose regular public transport to get there even cheaper. I am definitely glad I chose this hotel and would certainly consider it again when coming back - of course, if the prices are still that reasonable.
