Best Western Plus Hotel & Residences Istanbul

This is a great place for families with kids. Suites are spacious with large fridge and microwave and big screen tv. It’s actually clean too!! There is a lovely pool (you must have swim caps to access. They are available for purchase for 100TL). The parking lot is large and safe. This is not a fancy pants hotel with views and luxury amenities. This is a family friendly, very comfortable hotel that will make your time in Turkey less stressful. We drove to the Zeytinburnu T1 station, parked on the street somewhere, and took the tram into town. At the end of the day, we went back to Zeytinburnu, picked up the car, and drove back to the hotel with ease. There’s not a ton of food options around but the restaurant next door, Zeki Usta, is delish, fair priced, and the owners and workers didn’t rip us off which was a welcome difference from nearly every other place in Istanbul. There’s also a grocery store down the block so we stocked up on water, bread, jams, cheeses, and snacks each day. The adjacent neighborhood, Yenibosna, is a 5 min drive, street parking available, and lots of super local eateries. Hotel staff were friendly, helpful, and took good care of me when I hurt my ankle. They gave me ice packs, let me borrow a wheelchair, and helped me to and from the car until I got better. I didn’t plan to stay here for two weeks but I extended twice because of how comfortable the room and overall hotel experience was. Turkey is a difficult place to be. The language barrier, general unfriendliness of the people, and prejudice against foreigners (which manifests in massively being ripped off almost everywhere). Ridwan and team at Best Western Plus were the best part of our trip.
