What guests think

YOTELAIR Istanbul Airport, Duty free - International Transit area delivers ultra-convenient, inside-the-terminal stays for long layovers and early flights, with generally clean, functional rooms, but high prices, compact layouts, confusing access, and inconsistent noise and service experiences.

Many guests highlight awkward check‑in around 6–8 pm and a 9 am checkout, with paid hourly extensions that add cost. Rooms range from very compact recharge cabins with shared bathrooms to larger units; amenities are basic and some lack kettles or in‑room coffee. On-site and terminal dining are convenient for late arrivals and early departures. Expect an efficient sleep stop prioritizing location over space and extras.

We stayed here for a long layover at Istanbul. Every detail is thought out for this in the room and hotel. They have a 24 hr restaurant that is good…of course, it’s Istanbul!!! I am not sure about the times. In Thailand we have a hotel at BKK that has a 24 hr check in/out which is what is needed for a hotel airport, since you never know when you will get there. I guess our arrival and departure worked out fine but the fine print mentions a weird check-in time of 6pm I think and check-out of 9am I think? Anyway, I would say check the fine print and call them with any and all questions. They did not respond to my messages at Hotel.Com except with pre-programmed responses that did not answer anything I asked. There is also the landslide and airside maybe? One is in the airport so no need to go out thru immigration/customs. We are US citizens so were able to go out to the landside option and go back in for our connecting flight. Again, read the fine print and calm them repeatedly as needed. Room was cool and comfortable. Great option to sitting in the airport for 9 hrs!!!

Great option. I had a 12hr layover and it was perfect to get some sleep. The shared bathroom was nice also with large clean private showers. The hotel is located upstairs just off the main duty free shopping area so dining and bars are just a few meters away. A bit pricy but worth it.

So convenient. Basic amenities but serves intended purpose- you are literally at the airport. The only negative- but it is a Big one- was the carpet on floor one — where our room was located (but I assume same on all floors) It was impossible to roll any of our three suitcases. Literally messed up my back and my co-traveler’s hip/leg. They need to seriously do something about that.

This hotel is located inside the beautiful Istanbul Airport. It is a little expensive but totally worth the convenience. We had an early morning flight so we checked in, checked our luggage with the airline the night before and simply went to our gate in the morning. There is a bar and restaurant in the hotel so once you check in, you can relax. Th staff were very friendly and the room was quite nice. I would highly recommend.

We had a connection flight from Istanbul to Los Angeles with a 15 hour layover, so i booked this property in Advanced. Our flight the next day was at 8:00am, so staying outside the airport would not be convenient. Our flight arrived at 530pm and check in was not available until 8:00pm, but the hotel accommodated us when i arrived at 6Pm. There were many signs to the Yotel Airside inside the airport, but it is a long walk (15 min) to the hotel. The man who helped us was very nice and our room (Premium King) was very clean and also smelled so good. I opted to pay the 45 € (About $50) each for their lounge access as it was 24 hours, but there are better options outside the terminal. The food is okay, but when you are tired and want to sleep, this is an option. The room was spacious and very clean. I really liked the mood lighting and the TV screen also shows the depature flights. The bed was comfortable and so were the pillows. Just to point out, it is a bit pricey, but worth it for me for the convenience. The total i paid was about $400 USD which included taxes, but there are transient hotels outside the airport terminal as low as $62 USD. The check in time was 8pm and check out is 12am, so that is 12 hours for $400. For this convenience, you dont have to deal with transportation to the airport, checking it, going through security or immigration again, just walk to the terminal (15 min). I will continue to use Yotel the next time i have a long layover.

The restaurant inside the hotel was very good and we had dinner and breakfast there. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you need an early flight And wanna be right by the airport. You’re literally inside the airport.

Noisy surrounding of rooms. Even someone walking on upper floor was making noise. Bathroom were not clean. No towels in the bathroom. No dustbin in the rooms. Very poor service for $200 a night. I get much better service in a Days Inn hotel in USA for less then $100. If Turkish airways would have provided me hotel for my 20 hours stay in Istunbal, I would have never used the Yotel.

We walked and walked and walked to reach the hotel. There is no signs for the hotel in the airport. We had to ask many people with limited English to tell us about the hotel location. The letter that we received from YOTEL crew was incorrect saying we should not go through passport control but in real we have to. The room was very small and has no window and the lighting is just one switch turning all lights in the room. The bed makes you feel you are in the hospital. When you open the bed, it reach the other wall, so there is no way you can go to the bathroom.. On the top of that, the check out time is at 9 AM and if we stay longer, we have to pay €25 per hour. I think this is ridiculous and never been in a hotel like this.

It was amazing! The location is amazing, I think is a little overpriced to be honest but it’s convenient for over night layovers. My only complaint is the ac can not be controlled from inside of the cabin so I was freezing in the middle of the night and I had to go to reception to ask to turn it down. Which is inconvenient when you only have 5 hours to sleep

This is not a hotel. It is a sleeping pod with shared bathrooms and showers. The "room" is about the size of my closet and there is only space for a bed. There is not even a sink in the room. For €165!!!! I complained so much they eventually gave me a room at their hotel for another €150!!! As opposed to the regular price that would have been another €220. This room was so small I had to walk sideways around the bed. But had a shower and bathroom. It was OK, but not nearly worth the monies.

It was a cabin within the transfer area of Istabul airport. It was smal, which I knew. But what i didn't know, it was not en-suite. Also my cabin and 5 others were right by reception. You could here the gug checking in people all night. Being an airport, people were checking in at all times. Also you had to pay for a shower if you wanted one The room was very clean and modern though.

This hotel is the perfect place to stay if you have an early flight or a late flight or are connecting. It took more than 1 hour to get through the check-in line for those of us who actually had reservations. For tired travellers paying a lot for the privilege of spending a few hours in the hotel at the airport, taking away one hour of that experience is unacceptable. We had reservations!!!

My wife and I needed a place to sleep briefly on a layover from domestic Turkey to an international flight. It was extremely confusing about the story of "Landside" and "Airside", I hadn't realized we booked "Landside" rather than "airside" for the connection to our international flight. And I needed wheelchair assistance and the Turkish airlines staff didn't know how to handle it. But after a long wait for the Turkish airline staff, and a huge walk through the gigantic airport, we finallyi found it. Once we were there it was great. Much welcome choice (although the confusion really did not help)

There needs to be better signage for the airside hotel! We were misdirected by multiple staff (police, airport staff, etc) people in the airport who had no idea where the airside entrance for the hotel was. This resulted in us going through customs and going to the land side entrance. There we were told we had paid for airside (we had an early morning flight and didn’t want to hassle with customs and security in the morning) so they told us to go back through customs AGAIN and security and gave us better instruction for finding the airside entrance. This took us 2 hours!!! But in the morning it was fantastic to just walk out of the hotel and not deal with any security or customs lines. It is close to the Turkish airlines Lounge. So when we stay here again, it will be much easier. Better signage and educating airport staff on your location would be incredibly helpful as most travelers are not familiar with Istanbul airport.

The hotel staff was very friendly, helpful, and professional. The room itself was very modern, clean, and came with many amenities. We had breakfast the next morning before flying. The buffet was of the best quality and offered many options as is the usual style of a Turkish Kahvalti. I highly recommend a stay there if you are traveling to and from Istanbul.

We were overnighting in the Istanbul airport and for the amount of money expected more than a partially used roll of toilet paper.
