The Cettia Istanbul
Grand Cevahir Hotel
Wish More Hotel Istanbul
Vialand Palace Hotel
Dedeman Hotel Gayrettepe
Armada Hotel Istanbul
Uranus İstanbul Topkapı Hotel
Eresin Hotels Topkapı
Grand Yavuz Hotel
Wish More Hotel Şişli
Ramada Plaza by Wyndham İstanbul Ataköy
Hyatt Regency Istanbul Ataköy
Nidya Hotel Galataport

It seems that most of these hotels are very far to both the airport and downtown Istanbul (like half way between the two), and quite a few are around the old Ataturk airport. It seems that both Hyatt Regency Istanbul Ataköy and Wish More Hotel Istanbul have good review on Tripadvisor. However, both seems to be in the middle of nowhere on Google Map. I hope someone familiar with Istanbul can provide some advice. I assume that with Stopover in Istanbul, I would have to arrange the transport between IST and hotel myself?
are you travelling business or economy?
if you want to do some sightseeing I would suggest to book a more centrally located hotel and pay for it yourself. transport to stopover hotels is not provided anyway.
