It is raining in Istanbul. Today I dyed my hair purple and put makeup for a long time. We live here at a hotel called Avist Hotel and it’s a nice hotel. The top floor restaurant offers food, coffee, tea and breakfast. The Avist hotel is also clean and quite quiet. From upstairs sometimes hear some voice,but that doesnt bother us. Near the hotel is a small shopping street with food stores, souvenirs and clothing stores. There are also nice and inexpensive cafes and restaurants on the same street. There are fewer cats in Istanbul than in Antalya. There are also fewer stray dogs.

Big Life Hotel/Avist hotel
Boncuk Sk.1, 34310 Istanbul
8. October – 18. October

A hotel where you have a full service spa and restaurant. The hotel is located in Avcilar. Within walking distance is a mall, a shopping center, a university and a hospital. Next to the hotel is a motorway, which may be disturbed, especially when walking outside. I recommend using a taxi or bus. Distance to the Grand bazaar with taksi is about 50min away from hotel. Hotel staff are friendly and some of them also speak english.
Daily room cleaning,but you have to leave the key to reception if you go outside.
We give 4 stars to this hotel.
Note! Hotels.com page you find this hotel named Big Life Hotel.
