I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, really close to the transport for the airport, which was super convenient. The Wi-Fi was impressively fast, making it easy to stay connected. However, I encountered a few issues like the noise from the air conditioning and some minor problems with the service. Overall, it's decent for a brief stay, especially if you're just stopping over in Istanbul.

The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from the airport transport, making it a decent spot for a quick overnight stay. While the Wi-Fi was impressive and super-fast, I had some issues with the overall cleanliness and comfort of the room. The air conditioning wasn't quite up to par, but on the plus side, the bed was reasonably comfortable for a night's rest.

My stay at Eterno Hotel had its ups and downs. The location was super convenient for catching a bus to the airport, which was a major plus. However, the service left much to be desired, and the room was quite small, making it less than ideal for two people. Despite these issues, the Wi-Fi was impressively fast, which is essential for staying connected.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The service was inconsistent, with some staff being very helpful while others seemed unprepared. The location was definitely a highlight, just a short walk from key transport spots. The room was on the smaller side but clean, making it bearable for a short stay. I did appreciate the fast Wi-Fi, which was a plus during my visit.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The Wi-Fi was super fast and I appreciated its proximity to the airport transport, making it a convenient stop for a night.
