Friends: I think the best idea is to stay at the same hotel where the interview will be held. If it's not available; I think you should contact all the hotels near the place by phone and make a booking; call at least 2 hotels; you never know what could happen.

Victor my friend .... my answer will be reffered to an old post from our dear "ricoluna" when she got her interview in Turkey and she feedback us later with all the details...
The interview will be held in Hilton Parksa hotel in Istanbul, the hotel is located in the Asian side of Istanbul on a hill ... you must not stay in this hotel just to be close .. because it is expensive and it does not look like 5 star hotel .. u have nothing around to visit .. the recommand was to stay in Sultan Ahmet area .. it is a nice place where all restaurants and the historical places there .. and it's not far from the interview place (10 min by car before the traffic) ....
So it's obvious

Hi all
actually i make reservation in the same hotel because istanbul is very crowded city and you can not garantee the traffic espacially that my interview was 8:30 am. regarding the hotel it is 4 stars hotels and it is good you can read the reviews of the people stayed there before on internet. when i reach the hotel before interview with 2 days the hotel was fully booked so they upgraded me to the hilton istanboul which is around 10 minutes driving. the hilton is wow and it is 5 stars hotel it is the best. by the way all hotels 5 stars or 4 stars allmost same price so why to stay in another hotel. BTW Both hotels in european side not asian and they are around 10 minutes walking from taksim square. and in taqsim all restaurant and shopping are there. so i advise every one to stay in hilton or any hotel around no need to take the resk of finding taxi and stuck in traffic jam. my advise also do not reserve in unknown hotel because that time star rating is false. so hilton 4 is better than turkish 5. SO i totally agree with you victor

Anyway .. Can you please provide more details if it is possible on how did you arrange all your trip (booking, taxi, cost etc ..) : ??? from your country... For the benefits of other applicants ...?!
Regards ...

mmm ... Did u reserve in another hotel ...!!??
I think this service is only available for people who reserve with them, but you cannot benefit if you reserved in a another hotel (even if u intend to pay) ...
If you didn't pay yet ... try to move your reservation to Hilton ...

mmmm ... This is a big problem my friend .. I don't know what to say ...
You should either overcome the budget and solve this issue, or try to find another lady to take care of your baby ... Or try to contact the hotel where u reserved to fix this ... u can told them to hire another PRIVATE baby sitter from outside the hotel to take care of your child ... Otherwise you'll drop the reservation with them ...
I don't understand why this is so hard, u only need max 1 hour for interview ... This shouldn't be hard ... : :
If u'll move to Hilton u'll pay 5 times more the budjet ??? : ... WOW ... Where did u find such hotel ?!?

Hehehe business thinking wise ;D ... Canada will take all our money before accepting us as immigrants .. Awkward : ...
Of course the interviewers spend all their times between piscines and restaurants ... Everything for free ... This is mostly the best job ever ... hehehe ...
