# Radisson Blu Asia Istanbul Review

> The Radisson Blu Asia Istanbul is located on Istanbul's Asian side (no surprise there) in a business district called Atasehir.

The [Radisson Blu Asia Istanbul](http://www.radissonblu.com/hotel-istanbulasia) is located on Istanbul's Asian side (no surprise there) in a business district called Atasehir. There aren't a lot of sights for the Istanbul visitor in its immediate vicinity.

However some [Things to do in Istanbul](http://www.mightytravels.com/2015/07/my-top-20-things-to-do-in-istanbul/) aren't too far away - namely Kadikoy and Moda.

I stayed at the Radisson Blue Asia Istanbul for two nights and really liked the hotel despite its less favorable location.

First of - the hotel is just 3 years old and shows practically no wear and tear. The lobby is just beautiful and the whole interior design in the building is outstanding.

The basement houses a big spa - just the gym is on the small side for a major hotel. The outdoor pool looked nice but was VERY windy during that time of the year. Everything that wasn't 100 pounds or more became airborne - you simply could not enter the water.

Courtesy of my Gold status I was upgraded to a Business Class room on the 13th floor. I also received a welcome amenity (a huge fruit basket) after asking what kind of welcome amenity would be offered.

The room was very modern and clean. I loved the design of the room. The bathroom was of good size and came with a huge rain shower.

The Internet was rather stable and rather fast at about 3 Mbit. At Radisson there are no Internet tier levels - which is great if you have no status - but if you have VIP status it does not give you the advantage of an improved Internet speed.

The breakfast had almost the same spread as in the [Radisson Istanbul Bosporus](http://www.mightytravels.com/2015/07/radisson-istanbul-bosporus-review/) - though it was even better presented and had a few different items on top of the already wide selection. I found the quality to be just ok.

Since this was the end of Ramadan weekend - rates were just EUR 69 which I found fantastic value.
