Where to stay near Dr. Sadi Konuk Hospital, Bakirkoy

Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital sits in Bakırköy (Bakirkoy), about 1.8 km from our address in Zeytinlik — a 22-minute walk. Patients and companions who want to stay near the hospital can cover that distance easily on foot or with a short taxi ride.

Here we explain how to use the 22-minute route during the day, when walking or a taxi comes out ahead, and which apartment fits the length of your stay.

22 minutes: walk or taxi?

How far a patient can walk depends on their treatment, and their doctor is the one who says so. If you will be coming back for a follow-up after discharge, plan the walking with your doctor's guidance and always keep the taxi option ready. When you come back by taxi, the lift takes you up to your floor; for a patient who finds walking hard, that takes a good deal of tiredness out of the day.

Coming and going by taxi

When you get in, give the full name of the hospital — Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital — and add the entrance you plan to use if you know it. On the way back, show the driver our address on your phone. Taxis in Istanbul run on the meter. Even though the distance is short, traffic can stretch the journey at busy times, so on mornings when you have an appointment to reach, allow at least as much time as the walk would take even if you are going by taxi. If time gets tight while you wait for a taxi, the 22-minute walk is always your back-up plan.

A routine for a companion going back and forth several times a day

Companions of inpatients often go to the hospital twice a day: morning and evening. Four walks of 22 minutes each add up to about an hour and a half a day. If that feels tiring, this routine helps:

• Walk there in the morning, take a taxi back at midday and rest in the apartment.
• Prepare the clothes, charger and personal items you will take to the hospital the night before.
• If there are two of you, work in shifts; one stays at the hospital while the other sleeps at the apartment. Ask the hospital whether a companion can stay overnight and how many people are allowed.
• Tie the daily shopping to the trip home; the shops around Bakırköy Freedom Square (Özgürlük Meydanı) are 6 minutes from our address. The lift takes you and your shopping up to your floor.

If two companions will be resting in the apartment on the same day, a one-bedroom apartment (1+1) with a separate bedroom lets one sleep while the other gets ready in the living room.

Choosing an apartment for your length of stay

• 1–2 guests, short check-up: studio apartment (1+0); bed and living space in one room, kitchen and private bathroom.
• 2–3 guests, weekly treatment: one-bedroom apartment (1+1); the patient rests in the bedroom while the companion uses the living room.
• 4–5 guests, companions in shifts: two-bedroom apartment (2+1); with two bedrooms, those coming off shift sleep while the others keep the day going.

All apartments have a kitchen, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi; the building has a lift and security cameras. If you are thinking about a longer stay, our guide to longer treatment compares the three apartments in detail.
