We stayed at the Renaissance Polat Istanbul for 4 nights in April and were very satisfied overall with our stay. I was able to book at a very decent price, but I agree with previous posters that regular rates at this hotel tend to be too high IMO. Arrival was straightforward (we took the hotel shuttle from the airport) and... More

Been to 130 countries in my lifetime, stayed in hundreds of hotels around the world and found Renaissance Polat Hotel to be way to expensive for what you get. Rooms were very small,bathroom very small,snacks and drinks in their rooms were expensive,a few minutes local phone call was like calling in outer-space. Staff tries hard to be very nice altghough,the... More

After two weeks in boutique hotels in Istanbul and other places in Turkey, we decided to spend our last day and night in a hotel that was close to the airport. My wife found the Renaissance Polat and we couldn't have been happier. The location right on the Sea of Marmara was fantastic. I know people have said that this... More

This hotel personified the name Renaissance!!! The hotel is very elegant with wonderful Restaurants, bars and plenty of shopping. The view from my room was awesome. The club lounge cocktail hour shuts down to early forcing you to go to one of the many eateries in the hotel. I had dinner in the seafood Resturant on the main floor. We... More

Overall atmosphere -- not much of a happy atmosphere here; the only smiles we saw all week were... More

Great hotel. Shame I arrived at 1am and left at 8am. Driver had some difficulty in finding it but no complaints. Very comfortable, clean, modern room and easy/quick check in/out at reception. Would use again.As others say - very good for the airport.

This is truly a resort located on Sea of Marmara. If you can obtain a south facing room, you will have sweeping seaviews. Facilites include huge pool, extensive and modern spa. Rooms are very comfortable, Hotel is 5 minutes from airport with free shuttle during midday hours. Turk Rail has suspended rail service from the terminal near hotel, but the... More

We spent a night here after two weeks in Turkey, (we booked a room at the other Renaissance, but so glad we decided to switch to this one last min) - it's super close to the airport, and they provide a free shuttle. We took the bus (the train was close for some reason..) got off and took a taxi... More
