Its a hidden gem. So conveniet for staying overnight for transiet flights. Close to the airport (10min away so you pay like 10$ for an uber). Located in a calm neighborhood. The room is clean and bathroom is clean. Everything looks new and well made. Bed is comfy. Lighting is good. The street view is nice. Very Recommened with a really good price ( for example yotel airport hotel is atleast 350$ per night where as this u can find it for 50~60$ with 20$ taxi from and to the airport). Staff is nice and helpful. Perfect and couldnt ask for more

Nothing honestly. Just the room is small but given the price you pay you can’t complain

We really liked the room we stayed in – it had a jacuzzi and sauna, which was a great surprise. The view was also very nice. The bed was quite comfortable, the room was clean, and overall it felt cozy, especially considering the price.

Unfortunately, it was extremely windy during our stay and the noise from the wind kept us awake most of the night. The hotel is still under renovation, so you can notice some unfinished areas, and the floor around the jacuzzi was a bit damaged. They also offer a very expensive shuttle service to the airport, while telling guests that no taxis are available early in the morning – but in reality, both taxis and Uber can be pre-booked, which is much cheaper.

Staff was wonderful. Communicated clearly how to obtain and locate the shuttle from the airport. And very friendly and helpful on site.

Would have liked coffee in the lobby while waiting for airport shuttle in the morning.

Close to the airport, helpful and very friendly staff :) It felt like the building was new and fresh. Everyone wanted to help us which was very nice. Food delivery is available to the room. We did not have time to use it, but the menu inspired confidence. This place is perfect if you need to sleep for a few hours and get a good nights rest.

We rented a room with jacuzzi and sauna for one night. The weather was just right to take advantage of all that this place had to offer. But alas. When switching on the sauna, the plugs were knocked out, and the Jacuzzi was filled with a small jet for almost two hours, during which time it had time to cool down. We did get a great draft pressure though. It was bad weather with strong winds and the doors in the rooms were not doing their job as they are interior doors and not full entrance doors.

"I had a fantastic stay at the Elysian Airport Hotel in Istanbul! The location is perfect if you need quick access to the airport, but it's also close enough to the city center to explore the beautiful sights. The room was spacious, modern, and impeccably clean. I especially loved the comfortable bed — I had one of the best nights’ sleep I’ve had while traveling. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to accommodate my needs. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for convenience and comfort!"

None

This modern hotel is situated around 15 minutes from Istanbul main airport travelling in the hotel shuttle bus with the driver practising racing driving techniques. It is very clean and the staff are very courteous and helpful. The room has an airconditioning unit which works very well. The bed is very comfortable and the room is intelligently designed with a separate seating area. The location seems to be quite a new area, so there is not much surrounding the hotel. They have a food order service where you place the order on the phone, then the food is brought by a third party. I was told that they plan to create a restaurant over the next few months in the hotel.

The hotel is situated directly in line with the main airport runway and aircraft are flying throughout the night. It is therefore not possible to open the window of the room as the aircraft noise is very disturbing. However, if you need proximity to the airport, you don't have much choice.

Excellent staff in a very good property. Lots and lots of pluses, good value for money. Recommended stay near airport. The cons are that it's in the middle of nowhere for shops or restaurants. The room service menu is limited for vegetarian options and is overpriced given the food is delivered to the hotel not made there. The airport transfer is very good from the hotel to airport but for airport to hotel you are better off doing a metered yellow cab at the airport - this is because there are long queues as the hotel transfers are pooled and managed by shared staff at the airport. I would stay again if the price is discounted to Yotel which is at the airport itself. The discount is to justify the transfer cost and the overpriced room service compared to a multitude of options at the airport. If the management had to fix one thing, it would be the prices of the food as the location of the hotel is a disadvantage. If you have a Turkish number you can order with the local food apps and get around this (uber eats doesn't work). The strengths are very friendly and competent staff, alongwith very comfortable and well proportioned rooms that are priced competitively.

As I purchased very nicely priced tickets with Turkish Airlines which suggested an overnight stay in Istanbul, my goal was to find a hotel that is close enough to the airport, so we don't spend ages in traffic and in the morning can get an extra hour of sleep. As this is not the first time we have a short stay in the Turkish capital, I already have some experience in airport hotels, but so far I never had a hotel I wanted to come back to. Every time it was fair for one night, but not good enough. And it's not about "bad relation of price and quality", or "the breakfast that is not substantial enough" or "the noise coming from the planes", like some of the fellow-travelers mention in their comments -- if those things are important, one can always go closer to the city center and spend more time in traffic. My wish was that I get a crispy clean room, decent in size, a smiling hotel manager, and not more than 15 mins in the taxi to reach the place. This combination never happened before, until I found "Elysian", and with them the problem of a good airport hotel is solved! It offered me a room of an excellent size, with a sauna (!), a huge jacuzzi, and a balcony. I was greeted nicely by the receptionist who did not look grumpy or sleepy, and in the morning the procedure of the check-out was nice and smooth. And it takes 10 minutes to get to the hotel from the airport. No noise from the planes, no sounds from the neighbors, no distractions to my sleep!

I guess the hotel could offer breakfast or have a coffee machine for those waiting for a taxi, but maybe it's in the plan and will happen sooner or later. Transfer to / from airport: this is not a complaint to this hotel in particular, but to the Turkish hotels in general -- they all claim to have transfers available, but then try to charge travelers extra money for a slightly better car. It's not worth it -- like 10 Euro for a usual taxi vs 35 -- 50 Euro for hotel transfer, while it's a 10 minute journey. So, statement "airport transfer available" might be misleading, better arrange taxis without the hotel's help.

This was a great stay for our transfer lay over. The shuttle was easy to arrange. It cost 50 euros for a way transfer that must be made in cash so make sure you have euros on you. The reception staff were very professional and friendly. The whole experience was very smooth. The bed was very comfortable too. It was nice to have slippers provided and nice complementary water and coffee in the room. Very pleasant decor. Comfortable.

It was a bit smokey in the hotel even though it is a non-smoking hotel, my guess is that it comes in when people go on their balconies to smoke. The walls are a bit thin you can hear others especially in the bathroom, not sure if this applies to all rooms but for ours you can, but for one night it was ok, if you put the fan on it drowns most of the noise out.

Excellent location - 15 minutes to the airport. Good relation quality-price. The staff was helpful. Very good option for an overnight stay

The transfer service offered by the hotel. The shuttle cost 30 EUR, arrived 25 minutes late and the driver was distracted between his girlfriend -who was in the car- and his phone. Best option is to take a taxi from the airport ~15 EUR. The hotel also helps you to call the taxi on your way to the airport
