Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're travelling with an animal.
- Check-in window is late — Check-in starts at 14:00, which might be a consideration if you arrive in Istanbul early and want to drop your bags immediately.
- Limited on-site parking — Parking is available but appears to be only handicap parking on site, which could be tight if you're driving.
