Where the hotel is
Boris Hotel is a straightforward city hotel on Orkide Caddesi in the Namık Kemal neighbourhood of central Esenyurt, on Istanbul's west side.

Choose the airport that suits your flight: we serve both Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), and both prices are on this page. Istanbul Airport lies on the same European side as the hotel, while a transfer from Sabiha Gökçen crosses the Bosphorus from the Asian side, so compare fares and flight times before booking.
