Went with my husband, and the first room allocated to us was small and very basic. Located in the middle of nowhere, and a 15 minute walk to the mall and 40 minutes to the centre of Istanbul, I would recommend you pay extra and stay in Istanbul itself, the staff could not speak English which was frustrating considering they call themselves an international hotel, and we requested to stay in another room for our last two nights because after meeting another couple staying at the hotel we saw how large their room was. If you want to enjoy your stay in Istanbul then steer clear of AVM apartments
