The hotel and its location
Respiro Hotel is a mid-range city hotel on Uran Caddesi in the Üniversite neighbourhood of Avcılar, on Istanbul's west side close to Esenyurt. Torium Shopping Mall, City Center Outlet Mall, Menekşe Beach and the Küçükçekmece Lake Shore Park are all a short drive away. DoubleTree by Hilton Istanbul - Avcılar is practically next door, while Hit Suites Otel Avcılar and Polo Suit Otel are also in the neighbourhood.
The main roads on the western side carry heavy Istanbul traffic, especially at rush hour, so allow extra time for the return to the airport. This matters even more for Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), as the route crosses a Bosphorus bridge to the Asian side, whereas Istanbul Airport (IST) stays on the European side.
