Top Istanbul Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Istanbul Airport LANDSIDE, City Entrance

YOTEL Istanbul Airport LANDSIDE, City Entrance

4/10 Poor
"Convenient since it’s inside the airport, but if you have more time don’t stay there. It’s very expensive for nothing. One staff member was okay, the other was rude. It feels like a hotel in a box, no natural air, and the room is very small. For what we paid, it’s worth 30 euros max."
