Acıbadem Bakırköy Hospital
Apartments near Acıbadem Bakirkoy Hospital, Istanbul
From our address in Zeytinlik, Bakırköy (Bakirkoy), Acıbadem Bakırköy Hospital is about 1.2 km away — a 15-minute walk at a normal pace. That distance lets a patient and a companion coming in for a check-up, tests or treatment get to the hospital and back without waiting for a taxi, and return to the apartment to rest during the day.
Below you will find the walking time, when a taxi is the easier option, and which apartment suits the length of your stay.

Check the hospital's full address and which entrance to use on your appointment letter or through the hospital's official channels. On arrival day, walking the route once after dropping off your bags makes the next morning's appointment feel easier.
How does a 15-minute walk change the daily plan?
The biggest advantage of staying within walking distance of the hospital is a plan that does not depend on traffic. In Istanbul, journey times by car change from hour to hour; walking time stays roughly the same every day. That makes it easy to work out what time to leave for an appointment.
- Morning appointment: add your own allowance for check-in and waiting at the hospital to the 15-minute walk, then set your departure time.
- Gaps during the day: instead of sitting at the hospital for hours waiting for a result or the next procedure, you can go back to the apartment, shower and sleep a little.
- Companion shifts: if two people take turns, one can stay at the hospital while the other walks back to the apartment and rests.
- Something forgotten: if a charger, clothes or a document is left behind, it is 15 minutes there and back.
When is a taxi the better choice than walking?
Even though the distance is short, a taxi is easier in some situations:
- After a procedure or treatment, the doctor decides how much the patient can move; follow what your doctor says and keep a taxi ready.
- If you are carrying a suitcase, a wheeled bag or heavy shopping.
- In rain, or in very hot or very cold weather.
- If you are coming back from the hospital late at night.
Taxis in Istanbul run on the meter. If you have a question about directions or taxis, our phone and WhatsApp line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and you are welcome to write to us in English on WhatsApp.
Why does a building with a lift make a difference?
Being close to the hospital matters, but so does getting into the apartment easily. Our building has a lift:
- After treatment or tests, a tired patient rides up to the floor instead of taking the stairs.
- An elderly mother or father accompanying the patient does not have to deal with stairs.
- Suitcases, hospital bags and shopping are carried to the apartment without effort.
The building also has security cameras, a reassuring detail for companions coming back from the hospital at night. If you want to ask anything about the floor or the building entrance, ask when you book.
Which apartment suits your length of stay?
| Situation | Suitable apartment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Single companion or a short check-up | Studio apartment (1+0), 1–2 guests | Bed and living space in one room, kitchen, private bathroom |
| Patient and one or two relatives, weekly treatment | One-bedroom apartment (1+1), 2–3 guests | Separate bedroom, living room, kitchen |
| Family taking turns as companions | Two-bedroom apartment (2+1), 4–5 guests | Two bedrooms, living room, kitchen |
All apartments have air conditioning and free Wi-Fi; you can see the details on the apartments page. If your treatment schedule is not settled yet, book the first few nights and extend once the length is clear. Extensions depend on availability; letting us know early makes it easier.
