Room was equivalent, if not better, than the Radisson one.
Those would be shuttles with a surcharge,which would be rather more than a taxi and substantially less convenient than a taxi,since it takes 1 minute to get a taxi at IST.

BTW : It certainly does not take much for the room to be better than the Radisson,I found mine bordering on delipidated,although the common areas are fine.The best price I have had at the Courtyard,which has nice rooms, was 39 Euro,with shuttle,but that is not realy representative.
