So I have an upcoming stay in Istanbul, it’s kind of last minute so most rates are a little higher.

I have provisionally booked the Hilton Kozyatagi as it seemed to be cheaper then the others but reading the reviews (about dated rooms and poor service) and seeing the location it may not be suitable (£70 a night). The plan is a friend is flying in for a night and it’s sightseeing for them. The other days I can travel myself. They fly into SAW so it’s probably better placed for arrival, we could get changed and then go out for the day but I do recall it’s usually hard to get taxis in the evening.

I did see Hilton piyalepasa (£100 a night) was a little more then what I was paying for the other but no lounge and probably closer to central. Both seem to have mixed reviews with the first hotel fairing worse on room reviews.

I did look at another Hilton more central in faith but that’s was closer to £110 a night, I plan to stay for 4 nights but my friend is only visiting for the one night.

which would you recommend, stay with the current snd bank the savings on taxis? Is the Asian side as bad as the reviews on Google or would you stay in ten Europe’s side
