The iGA Lounge at Istanbul Airport (IST) is a large, premium travel lounge offering extensive…read moreamenities like dining, showers, and relaxation areas for international and domestic departures, accessible via iGA Pass, partner airlines, or lounge programs like Priority Pass. It features a unique outdoor terrace, multiple food stations, and services such as massage (on select days) and prayer rooms, making it a comfortable option for various travelers, though it can get busy. I was shocked to learn this lounge had a less than 5 star rating. Travelers have gotten impatient and should realize the staff is working hard to maintain everything. Personally I give this lounge a 4.5 rating on a bad day. This lounge has a pool table which is really awesome.

One of the most beautiful and spacious airport lounges I've been to!…read moreI had an early morning flight and i arrived at this lounge around 4am- so glad they are open 24/7. Despite being super early, they did have limited selection of hot food. They even had an omelette station that opened a little later. Very clean, so many people working in every area keeping it clean. They have showers, a prayer room and many seats.

Oh boy, did this impress! I had such a wonderful experience flying on Turkish airlines into Istanbul. I wasn't hungry, but I was trying to find a quiet place to sit before my next flight. The lounge is huge with views of the airport. The acoustics are pretty amazing for how busy the airport and lounge is, it wasn't that loud. There are so many food stations with everything being made fresh. It was so hard to say no to another meal. I tried the homemade Turkish ravioli made with lamb, a Turkish coffee, and more. Delicious! I had some sweets before leaving too. Can't wait to try the business lounge when I head home!

All 3 waiters that catered to us were amazing. Specially Gokcen The drinks we ordered from their non-alcoholic menu (Blue Colada) were amazing. The starts and main courses were also amazing. I personally ordered the Cajun Steak which was a 8/10 for me. Overall the view/food/service is amazing. Definitely try this place out if you're visiting Istanbul.

Sweeping views of the Marmara Sea & Istanbul. Fantastic breezes, contemporary furniture of couches & a DJ spinning cool tunes; we all were swept away by the feel of this place. Hostess sat our group at a great spot overlooking Sea. They serve Ceviche, Tapas, Small Plates & a few desserts; plus, handcrafted cocktails. We had planned on just stopping by for a drink, but ended up watching the sun set and spending the rest of the evening here (we left around midnight, but they were open until 2am). Cocktails: I started with the Red Lips. This was a delicious treat of vodka, Prosecco, pomegranate? with a whipped egg white froth on top. Yum. (had a few of these) Food: all the items were good, but there wasn't anything I had that is a Must Have. The Yellow Fin & the Empanadas were the standouts for me. Yellow Fin Tail Ceviche Empanadas Grilled Rib Steak w/chimichurri & lime dressing Octopus Lamb Cons? Pricey. Cocktails (around $15) & Tapas were LA prices. Smoking. People smoke everywhere. Service was a bit slow, at times. Husband had ordered his martinis with olives, but they kept bringing them with lemons (he didn't mention it to staff). Closed Sunday nights. This was a great spot to end our visit to Istanbul.

My berry smoothie was excellent and the burger was average. With that said, I wouldn't order their meat platters . if they cannot grill an amazing burger, I wouldn't wanna pay the price for a steak.

Especially when they included a salad with no cooked components and a smoked salmon that I assume was premade due to the length of time needed to smoke salmon. When we asked the waiter, his face made it seem like he either forgot to place our order or didn't expect us to actually want our food within a reasonable hour since everyone besides us was smoking hookah. We just hoped for better than "hamburger helper" quality bolognese. The view didn't necessarily justify the food and service being mid.

We came to the hotel straight from the airport and I don't know if the front desk person felt sorry for me or what but we got upgraded to a partial sea view room. Score! The room was spacious with a king sized bed, bathtub, small sitting area, and a view of the sea. The hotel is beautiful and is located near the Marmara Sea. The room we had was spacious and boasted the only bathtub out of all the hotels we stayed in during our vacation in Türkiye. We asked about the breakfast and it was 30 euro per person. We also asked where there were local shops to dine at nearby and someone told us to go down the street to the nearby strip mall to find sustenance. My husband forgot his razor and they were able to give us a small shaving kit. We also asked for ice and they brought us a champagne bucket of ice to our room. The hotel is pretty secure, as they screen all the cars coming onto the property as well as the guests walking into the lobby via bag screening and metal detectors. The staff was great at the Hyatt Regency and I would stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.
