Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Elite World Grand Istanbul Basin Ekspres is frequently praised for its impressive facilities, including an exceptional gym on Basement 2 with dedicated spin and weight rooms, as well as a beautiful, large semi-Olympic indoor pool featuring a lap lane. The hotel's design is eye-pleasing, featuring an oval-shaped building and gorgeous reception and restaurant areas. While some guests have mentioned minor wear and tear due to the hotel's age, the breakfast buffet is often highlighted for its quality and variety, even including honeycomb. Its location near the airport and in a business area is convenient, making it a practical choice.
