Express Plus Hotel Istanbul

What guests think

Across many reviews, Express Plus Hotel is described as a convenient, budget-friendly stop near Istanbul Airport, with consistently kind, helpful staff, simple rooms suited to short layovers, and frequent remarks about road noise and basic, no-frills amenities.

Rooms are often small and have centrally controlled heating or air conditioning, and some guests noted dated fittings or maintenance issues. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from spotless spaces to reports of dirty bathrooms, stained sheets, and unpleasant smells. Airport transfers and taxis can be arranged but are frequently considered expensive, and the surrounding area has limited dining. Overall, expect a practical overnight base rather than a full-service stay.

The hotel itself was adequate, but the “restaurant” charging in euros at Western European prices, and the offered airport shuttle service at three times the metered taxi rate, amounted to price-gouging abuse. The place should be shut.

I missed a connecting flight and decided to stay in Istanbul. Since it was same-day reservation I searched for a hotel in 10-20 min away by taxi. Photos of Airport express were good and total non refundable double room was $47. So I took it. The taxi was $9 to get in hotel. Hotel is under construction, but room and facilities were acceptable. Staff was however above "acceptable". Whatever I asked was arranged for little pay compared to the USA. I hired car with a driver for 3 hours and 110 euro and manage to see enough just for one day to stay. There is great restaurant Durumcu Musa Usta 12 min walking distance (not expensive). There is 18 min away Metro station Tasoluk. Hampton Inn even closer in same area if you prefer hotel chains.

I gave the taxi driver the address of the hotel, and he could not find it on his GPS. He drove us to the city and asked for direction. That is how hard to find this hotel. On our way back to the airport, another taxi driver charged us 100 lira more. He said that is for the hotel because they called the taxi for us. I don't know if this is a deal between the taxi driver and the hotel, or this is a scam. But be aware!

This property is located in 11 km. from the airport. It is a big plus for transfer passengers. But it is an old hotel with sloppy design. In my room an air-conditioning was not working, and a litter container was not emptied. I paid 100$ for one night. This price includes a breakfast - that is nice, even very nice. But I paid 55$ for 2 ways transportation, which is too expensive.

Stay was fine for quick stop. The room was dirty (found nuts and other junk on the floor). Biggest issue was the taxi transportation scam. Hotel reception offered shuttle, and “warned” us of taxi scams. But we decided to take the taxi. However, when we got in the taxi - we could see the taxi driver was calling Mr Kerin from the hotel personally and of course we got overcharged. It was clear after the fact that the hotel man works with some of the taxi drivers for a kick back. The taxi was 200 Lire more than it should have been, and driver had started the meter for quite a while before we got into the car (we entered the car and the meter was already at 162.5 TL, should have been 42-62). The hotel should check to see if there is funny business between the guy at reception and the taxi drivers. He pretends to be helpful - it he is actually scamming you.

From the photos the lobby area looked like different rooms. Unpon arrival you find it’s one big open plan area with the reception. The room size for what we booked was okay, but the bed sheets were ripped (not ripped through but had abrasions to the outside of the sheets. The bathroom was very poor the toilet seat was loose, marked on the outside and the seat had not been fully cleaned as it has urine residue still on it. The AC is controlled by the front desk which is very bizzar. And the mini fridge is a glass panel with no way to turn off the light so we covered it with a towel.

To be honest we were not happy with our stay. When we first got into the room the heating was on 26 and very hot. We had to call 3 times to get someone to turn on the AC. Apparently the only solution was to completely turn off the system. The windows were stuck and would not open, The bathroom was still in renovations with parts looking very gross, the faucet is old and stained. And the bed was very hard. Also your hotel is rated 4 stars on Expedia and I would give it a much lesser rating.

The price was excellent, and front desk staff were very helpful. The room was fine overall, but did not look like to photo of the triple room in the Hotels.com posting. There were no chairs and no desk, and I selected that room so I would have them for a zoom meeting. I had to get a chair from another room to make that work. There was a fair amount of road noise, because the window didn’t close fully. Also the temperature was very high upon arrival, as it was set to heat to 27degrees Celsius/ 81 degrees Fahrenheit. They said it was centrally controlled so we could t Charlotte g it just in our room. They adjusted it for the whole hotel to 22 C.

I needed a layover in Istanbul, so my criteria were to spend the least time and least money to have an adequate night's sleep between flights. I didn't love any of the options. This hotel did its job fine. The decor is a lot of black and gray, in a business tech way. The front desk staff was professional. It''s on a busy street, so we heard road noise.

Hotel is close to the airport. Rooms are spacious but the bathrooms are tiny & dark. Don’t like the fact that the AC/heat unit is controlled by the front desk & you have to call them every time to turn up/down the temperature or fan speed. Breakfast is a set meal that you don’t get to choose from a menu or anything. It was OK though. Wished we could’ve had the option to choose what we wanted to eat though.
