“Wonderful Hotel.”
The Marriott Asia Hotel is a great Marriott.
The hotel itself is on the Asia side of Istanbul, whereas most of the other luxury hotels are based, as well as the Grand Bazaar etc, on the European side, however with the excellent Metro system that Istanbul has it is a quick and cheap trip to get there.
Across the road is a shopping centre anchored by Carrefour, and at least another 6 upmarket shopping centres are in quick proximity.
They have a shuttle to the metro and will collect you from there as well.
The hotel has both an indoor and outdoor swimming pool as well as a gym.
Their executive club is good and the hostess, for some unaccountable reason I have forgotten her name, is incredibly helpful and a delight.
I must here add that the assistant manager Batuher (?) is a credit to the Marriott group.
His demeanour and helpful attitude is amazing.
He goes well beyond ” the extra mile” and nothing is too much trouble.
