YOTEL Istanbul Airport (Landside)
Considering that the cost of staying in this hotel was high, I did not book a room in advance, but because I had heard about Istanbul Airport and wanted to tour the airport, I went to this hotel after the plane landed to book a room.
Fortunately, there was an empty room in YOTEL, but the cost was very high, and it was almost 3 times as much as the hotels in the city, but I had no choice and paid 250 euros to reserve a room for one night.
The interesting thing about this hotel is that the rooms are rented by the hour. Tourists who have a delay between their flights and want to rest can visit this hotel.
This hotel is located outside the airport in the Landside section before passport control.
I really liked the room I stayed in at YOTEL; it smelled great when I entered the room, and the air conditioning worked well.
Unfortunately, due to the high cost of this hotel, I could not stay for more than one night; of course, most of the travelers of this hotel do not stay for more than one night, and most of them are forced to stay in this hotel.
Among other facilities of this hotel, I can mention the following:
- Free Wi-Fi
- Restaurant (separate fee)
- Parking (separate fee)
- Bar
- Payments with NFC, cash and credit card
- Exchange
- Gym (free)
- Allowed to bring dogs and cats (additional fee)

Hampton by Hilton
Although this hotel was one of the most expensive hotels in Istanbul, I wanted to stay in this hotel for one night. The proximity of this hotel to the metro station was the main reason for my choice. I was able to easily get to this hotel by subway from the airport and not pay much for a taxi.
The cleanliness and facilities of this hotel were unique, and the staff was very organized and treated me with respect and kindness. They patiently introduced each room to me separately and also gave me information about tourist places near the hotel. This made me know that this hotel is really worth 100 dollars per night.
One of the interesting points of this hotel is its free shuttles at the airport, which people can ride and take directly from the airport to this hotel.
I really liked the design of the rooms in this hotel; the wooden flooring and the white walls are very beautiful, and they remind me of old houses.
Among other features of this hotel, I can mention the following:
- Payments with NFC, cash and credit card
- Swimming pool suitable for children
- Has cargo storage

- Bar
- Gym
- Free breakfast

La Casa de Airport Hotel
The exterior of this hotel, designed with black and brown colors, gave it a special grandeur. Due to the distance of this hotel from the road, there was a unique peace around this hotel; it was as if I was staying in a forest hotel and could not hear any disturbing sounds.
The hotel rooms were very clean and minimally designed. Various colors, such as gray, oil blue, and white, were used in the rooms, and the wooden designs multiplied their beauty.
The staff of this hotel were also very professional and spoke 3 languages: English, Turkish and Arabic. Hotel security was also very acceptable. Due to its distance from the road, they had a special guard to ensure the peace of the passengers.
The cost of my one-night stay in this hotel was about 50 dollars, although I stayed 4 nights and paid 350 dollars.
Other facilities of this hotel are as follows:

Atar Airport Hotel
This hotel was my third choice because it was newly established. It also offers good facilities at a low price. I paid $40 to book a room at this hotel for one night.
When I entered the hotel, I realized that my choice was very right. Compared to the hotels I went to, which cost 200-100 dollars, this hotel was more modern than all of them, and the lighting and design style of the hotel and rooms were very luxurious.
The glass bathroom, beautiful lighting, beds, and chairs with European designs were things that I had not seen in other hotels, but they were present in this hotel. Because all the rooms were newly built, it was very clean and fragrant.
The only drawback of this hotel was that it was close to the street. Sometimes, the sound of the cars on the street bothered me.
Other features of this hotel are as follows:
- Free Wi-Fi
- Bar
- Free breakfast
- Credit and cash payment
- Airport shuttle service
- Private car service (fee included)
- Free parking
- It is free to bring dogs and cats
