A11 Hotel Atasehir: spa, hammam and free parking in Istanbul

A11 Hotel Atasehir is a hotel on Şenlik Sok in Istanbul, postcode 34750. Its position is best understood through straight-line distances: Çamlıca Mosque is about 6.4 km away, Şakirin Mosque about 7.7 km, Beylerbeyi Palace about 8.7 km and Yeni Üsküdar Mosque about 9 km. Further out, the Maiden's Tower is about 9.6 km and Ortaköy Mosque about 9.8 km, in a straight line.

Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 19.4 km away, in a straight line. The hotel runs an airport shuttle for a fee, which matters if you are flying into SAW and prefer not to arrange your own transfer.

All four room types have a city view, so the choice between them comes down to size, bed and how many people each sleeps. The Budget Double Room is the smallest at 15 m² with one double bed, yet it sleeps up to 3. The Economy Room, at 20 m² with one double bed, is the only room that sleeps just 2.

The Standard Double Room offers 25 m² with a queen bed and sleeps up to 3. The largest is the Deluxe Room at 32 m², also with a queen bed and sleeping up to 3; it is the room to pick when three people want the most space, or when two want a queen bed and room to spread out. Note that the two smaller rooms have double beds while the two larger ones have queens.

There is a restaurant and room service. Family rooms are among the room options, and children are allowed, which together with the sleeping capacity of up to 3 in three of the four room types makes the hotel workable for a small family in one room.

Practical comforts include a lift, facilities for disabled guests and free parking, a combination that matters if you are arriving by car or have mobility needs. The hotel also has meeting and banquet rooms, so it can host a work event or a gathering.

Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00, a schedule that gives you the morning of departure without rushing. Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed, so this is not a hotel for a trip with an animal. Parking is free, which is worth knowing if you are driving in Istanbul.

A11 Hotel Atasehir suits travellers who want a straightforward hotel with a spa, hammam and sauna, free parking and rooms that can take up to three people, including families with children. The paid airport shuttle and the roughly 19.4 km straight-line distance to Sabiha Gökçen make it practical for arrivals at that airport.

It does not suit anyone travelling with a pet, since pets are not allowed. If you need a room for more than 3 people, none of the four room types provides it.
