Where the hotel is
CIP Hotel is a city hotel on İstanbul Caddesi in the Cevizlik neighbourhood, right in the centre of Bakırköy on the European side of Istanbul, near the old airport. Carousel Shopping Mall is a short walk away and Galleria Ataköy Shopping Mall a few minutes' walk, while Olivium Outlet Center and Yedikule Fortress are a short drive. Neighbouring hotels within easy walking distance include Taşhan Hotel, Rios Edition Hotel and Siesta Hotel Bakırköy.
Central Bakırköy has busy shopping streets, some of them with pedestrian sections, so the car cannot always pull up right at the entrance. In that case your driver stops at the nearest accessible point to CIP Hotel. If you travel with heavy bags, check the luggage capacity shown in the vehicle list.
