Super close to the airport. However. Beware! Taxi drivers don't like to take you here from the airport because it is super close (they were hoping for a bigger score on a ride to downtown Istanbul). What else is super? Well, I'll tell you, super nice staff. They speak enough English and are well trained. Clean small rooms. Great for the price.

After a day of dealing with airport security, 13 hour flight from LAX, haggling with a corrupt Istanbul Taxi driver trying to charge you 45 Turkish lira on the meter BEFORE you leave the airport for a 12-15 Turkish lira either taxi or UberX, it is nice to find a little respite sanctuary when faced with a 15 hour layover to get a decent meal, shower to wash the last 20 hours of travel off of you and a comfortable clean bed in a safe place to lay your head before the next leg. Thankfully, 'The Rox' Hotel is just such a place nearby Ataturk Airport Istanbul 4-5 Star Hotel at a very reasonable price which I base not on the property itself, or the little amenities, clean rooms, good restaurant, but in the level of service every person you come into contact with offers you. From the time you pull into driveway, to the young bellman opening your car door assisting you before your foot ever touches the ground to being swept to the front reception check-in to being delivered with your bags to your room. (If only the whole journey was this efficient and pleasant, going home would become an obsolete concept) All for a fraction of what you would pay at a Ritz-Carlton property. Mind you, I am not saying this is the Ritz, but the staff here could just as easily have been. After a nice hot shower (that usually take the water about 5 minutes to get to hot racing from a remote water heater to your shower head), a fresh set of clothes, I set out to find something to eat. I thought of room service, but I never enjoy it as much solo as when sharing a meal. So I set out thinking maybe a bit of fresh air after 13 hours of recirculated aircraft air would do me good, but did a 360 in the front lobby revolving door when the cold, dark, wet fog seemed less appetizing concept of food hunting in lesser known territory. Since I was about 5 km from my usual layover neighborhood. Which turned out to be a good choice as the hotel restaurant was open until 2300/11pm and offered a very pleasant, wholesome and tasty meal as follows. Being greeted by the Waiter/Maître d' (since he was much more than your average waiter, yet solo is not a proper title as call a cook a chef when he is the only one in the kitchen...then he is only a cook...and chef (French for Chief) of himself.... my well appointed 'server' was only joined in the restaurant at that late night by the bartender) He offered my drink based on his suggestion of a nice Turkish red 2015 Angora house wine made with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes near the Greek border reminiscent of a California Cabernet/Merlot with smooth berry/fruit nose, slight astringentness and nice finish. My meal started with the soup d'jour Turkish lentil, an entree' of a simple local dish of Karisik Izgara Kebab grilled meat medallions of succulent chicken, Entrecote steak cooked rare as I like it, and mince local lamb (which was fresh enough to be halal, but forgot to ask), grilled tomato, chili and rice. Simple presentation, but the flavors made anything the eye missed irrelevant. On several suggestions for something authentically Turkish, I finished with the classic Turkish dessert Sekerpare which is a slightly sweet traditional Turkish sweet, accompanied by creamy Vanilla Ice cream. With my belly pleasantly full, and only 8 hours until I needed to be back at the airport security check in, I checked emails in the high speed wifi and off to dreamland until my buffet breakfast before departure. My wakeup call was O600 (the O is for OMG it's EARLY!), 3-S Navy talk for 3 things a guy does in the bathroom in the morning and daypack ready (luggage already checked through to Riga, Latvia my end destination on this trip) and into the same restaurant I had a late supper for one of the best European breakfast buffets ever including a custom omelet station. I will let the photos tell the rest. Thank you everybody at The Hotel Rox! Hoping all good travelers with that horrid 13-22 hour layover in Istanbul find their way here at least once. Remember, regardless of which country you are in or local custom on tipping, everyone that provides service above and beyond deserves to be recognized and rewarded. It makes a nice gesture and goodwill easily remembered to encourage and inspire the future of such service. and as always... "Always be True to the Cuisine" - Chef Dom D'Maestro

I was only here for one night during a stopover in Istanbul but I was very impressed with this hotel. It is very close to the airport and taxis are very reasonable. The taxi ride to the hotel was only 15 Turkish Lira, and the ride back to the airport was 9 Lira. The check in service was very friendly, helpful, and professional. There was a very polite bellboy who took my bag up with me to the room and helped get me set up in the room. The hotel itself is very well maintained and nicely furnished. The room was very large by the standards I am used to at European hotels. Most importantly, it was extremely quiet and dark as well. If you want a good night's sleep, you shouldn't have anything disturbing you in this hotel. I really liked the bathroom, which had very nice fixtures, with a wonderful shower. There is a pot to heat up water and some instant coffee available in the room. This was much appreciated with my early checkout I had to do at 4:00 AM. The checkout was very smooth and the hotel called a taxi for me which arrived in about 2 minutes. I very highly recommend this hotel.

Whereas most of the other hotels around the IST Ataturk airport attempt to project luxury, but just end up projecting a weird 80s interpretation of gaudy luxury that fools only the people who work there, Rox is actually quite modern. The service is still a bit trapped in yesteryear (I don't need a chaperon to walk me to my room and point out where the bar obviously is, here's 10 Lira to just let me carry my own bags), but overall I enjoyed my stay here--with the exception of a barking dog that wouldn't shut up outside.

This was one of the worst experience I've had with a hotel. The staff was rude and not very helpful. The receptionist was not very friendly, barely spoke English and not very welcoming. I needed help translating over the phone because I lost my phone. I had to wait about an hour for him to check one person in. It took him about 10 minutes to check the person in and then he was busy talking to his other staff. They were joking around and laughing while I was waiting for him to finish. I had enough so I walked up to him to see if he can help me out. The call literally did not take even a minute. He made me wait an hour for just a minute. This was the worst customer service I've experienced in my life. I would definitely advise you to stay away from this place if you want to be treated well. The rooms are clean but the AC has a little bit of an issue. The remotes do not work and it does not cool down the room properly. The shower drain is clogged and does not drain fast so expect a little puddle when taking a shower. The breakfast is amazing so make sure the breakfast is included in your package.
