YOTEL Istanbul Airport (Landside)

Very Good
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : In the airport clean and cozy
  : You need to get a visa to reach the hotel

Wonderful
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : Location, comfortable room and bed, friendly staff, excellent luggage storage service.
  : No reasonably priced restaurant options.

Poor
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : Location is super good - but they have a monopoly in the airport
  : The bed was uncomfortable- lighting terrible. You have to pay 5 star hotel rates and get less than 1 star hotel rooms. Pillows especially were very uncomfortable

Pleasant
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : The only hotel within the giant airport. Very good breakfast and even coffee.
  : Family room has absolutely zero privacy. Its better to book two connected rooms. You cant even go to a toilet or brush your teeth without everyone hearing every noise youre making zoning of their rooms is absolute nonsense and crime against interior design.

Wonderful

  : Rooms bigger than expected, good shower.
  : Staff unhelpful (we witnessed a few issues and they couldn't find our booking at first). Lack of privacy in rooms/toilet. Needs separate room not a glass door. Price was very high but paying for location.

Pleasant

  : Very clean, very traveler oriented, high-tech. My room had windows, but not all rooms have. That is part of the price difference and that is good to know, right? Landside hotel is cheaper than airside hotel but reaching one from outside and the other from the international zone is a comedy! In retrospect, Im laughing, but I was very upset after 17h of flight looking for my hotel for one hour. Customer service was very good, especially counting how frustrated I was searching for the hotel!
  : Location is unclear, marking to get there is very poor. At some point, signs disappear all together. Google maps is useless because this is inside the airport. It took us over one hour to find it. Coming from the international zone and checking at the landside hotel is honestly an adventure. Not by the passports check, the reviews indicating this had a pass check going into the international zone, not out of it. If you need to leave the international zone and sleep at the landside hotel, go to baggage claim, go through the nothing-to-declare exit, step out of the inner sliding doors where welcoming happens and only then look for Yotel signs. You will need to go one level up and then will be easy enough to find it.

  : The hotel is conveniently located inside the Istanbul Airport and it is a perfect option to stay overnight if you have early morning flight or delayed flight. Very friendly personnel and clear instructions. The room is perfect size, at least for me since I was travelling alone. The room has all facilities and international TV channels. It is clean and quiet.
  : It is more of a suggestion to provide the guests with drinking water in the bottles. Although it is said that the tap water is potable in the rooms I defeneitly prefer sealed water in the bottles as I had some bad experience in the past (in a different hotel) and don't want to risk. It would be a nice complementary gesture for the guests
