About
The Grand Mira Business Hotel
The Grand Mira Business Hotel sits in Kartal, on Istanbul’s Asian side, within 6 km of the Islands Museum. The 4-star property has 52 rooms, a lounge bar, and a restaurant, with a currency exchange and lift on site. It’s a practical base for exploring the Princes’ Islands – the ferry terminal is nearby.
The hotel earns its strong guest rating for its breakfast spread, attentive service, and rooms that often face the Marmara Sea. Standard rooms come with king beds, while suites add extras like bathtubs. The atmosphere is business-oriented but works just as well for leisure stays.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+

- Sea views from many rooms — Guests staying in Superior or Standard rooms with balconies often get views over the Marmara Sea, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you’ll need to make other arrangements for furry companions.
- Paid airport shuttle only — The airport shuttle is not complimentary, so factor that into your transfer budget if you’re flying in.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is available from 14:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive after midnight you may need to arrange late arrival with the hotel.
- Standard rooms lack certain extras — The Standard Room doesn’t list a balcony or sea view, so you may want to upgrade to a Superior or Deluxe if those matter to you.
