The hotel is a great place to rest if you have a long layover. Clean in general although I did find the occasional dust ball and hair around various places but again, it is late and you are tired. The lighting inside the room does help conceive the occasional dust. Beds were very comfortable and the rooms were very well isolated and soundproof so although you are at a very busy place we were very comfortable all night. So overall it is totally worth it.

My mom was traveling and tried to check-in while not speaking English. The stuff was rude to her and not accommodating. These days people use Google Translate to help others. That stuff didn’t do any effort to help. When my aunt was on a call translating from English, she also noticed that the guy was rude. It’s a shame when someone pays money for the stay and they feel unwelcome and the stuff doesn’t want to accommodate. Bad experience. Not English speakers shall be aware of it or provide a better training to your stuff

Yes it's expensive but that's the convenience fee. We're with young kids and had an 8am flight so staying off site would mean awaking at 5a. Hence the convenience fee.

The hotel is pretty dang big but so is that massive airport. It was clean and modern. Reminds me of the hospital in the movie Click.

Room was clean spacious for our family. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Shoutout Sekran! Check in and out was smooth.

We didn’t realise that check in is not until 8pm (!). It was probably in the small print but we didn’t think to check this - we assumed it would be around 2-4pm.
We booked this hotel for a quick stopover as leaving early (5.50am) following day.
For this reason, I didn’t feel we got good value for our money as it’s not cheap.
The common corridors are not clean with stained carpets.
No tea/coffee in room.
Would not stay here again.

We reserved this hotel for a few hours during our transit on the same day - less than one hour after we realized our flight is delayed and they don’t let us get into the transit saloon and we have to wait until the place arrives - we asked them to cancel and refund our hotel because we had no access so we could get one room on the land side to rest -they refused to do that even though they knew our flight is delayed and we have no access to the location of the hotel in transit saloon - they also did not help with transitioning our reservation to the land side … Very poor customer service, all about money and rubbing you.

For $300+ for a few hours of rest, I expected better. I expected toilet paper in the bathroom, and paper towels. It is certainly convenient but just skeeves me out a bit.

Paid £260 for one of these awful cabins, worst night sleep I’ve ever had. They are not soundproof and you can hear every bit of noise from outside and they also let light in making it really difficult to sleep. £260 anywhere else in the world you’d get 5* here it is a dump. Bathrooms were filthy and dirty towels all over the place. I had to ask reception for a clean towel. Beds are rock hard and the pillow is like an actual rock. I wouldn’t recommend staying here, save your money and sleep on an airport bench it’ll be cleaner and you’ll probably get a better nights sleep plus be up £260!! Absolute con of a hotel this is!

When I booked this hotel it was not entirely clear to me that it was on the airside but I was jetlagged and otherwise tired so easy to blame myself. I followed the airport exit signs and found myself at a Yotel kiosk. The kiosk employee told me I couldn't enter the airside for a few hours and that I would have to transfer my reservation, but would have to pay the difference. I told him I would chance it and ultimately it was not an issue getting back to the airside. My point being that the Yotel person tried to cheat me, which I really did not appreciate. Turkey has a reputation for one having to look out for oneself and this person did not help that perception.

The airside hotel and the cabin itself were great, exactly what I needed for my seven hours there. The bathrooms could have been a little cleaner and the room never cooled down but at the end of the day this hotel took care of my needs.

This is the first time that I’ve stayed at a hotel inside the security zone at an airport. It was a great experience. We arrived late from Italy, walked from our gate to international transfers, went through the screening process, and then walked to the Yotel-air. The staff was helpful and within 35 minutes of arrival we were in our room. It is a small yet quiet and convenient space with all the necessities to grab a few hours of comfortable sleep before traveling on your way. The have a direct connection to the flight schedule on the tv in your room and you can ask the staff for the amount of time it takes to walk from the front desk to your gate. We had about a 10 minute walk. So we rolled out of bed with enough time to grab a coffee and arrive at our gate just as boarding began—it was a win all around!

It's extremely convenient to not have to leave the airport and not have to go back through the security checkpoint when it's time to leave for your flight, but as with anything, you're going to pay a lot more for that convenience.

We were so glad we stayed at Yotelair Airside the night before we flew out! We did not want to get up in the early morning and be stressed trying to get to the airport and make it through security in time. Instead, we took our time getting to the airport (it is a large airport) and going through security. We were able to wake up 30 minutes before boarding and just walk to our gate! The rooms were quite modern, not our decor preference, but they had everything that mattered… a comfortable bed, good air conditioning, the best blackout shades, and a hot shower. The only negative is that, unbeknownst to us, the check-in time was 8pm. However, we arrived at 6:30pm and they were able to get us into the room without waiting. It was not cheap for such a short stay but the peace of mind was totally worth it to us!
