How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
A hotel in the international transit area, about 0.2 km from Istanbul Airport
YOTELAIR Istanbul Airport, part of the YOTEL chain, stands in the duty-free international transit area of Istanbul Airport, at Tayakadın Mahallesi in Arnavutköy. It lies about 0.2 km from Istanbul Airport (IST) in a straight line. Because the hotel sits in the international transit area, it is reached by passengers in international transit; it is not placed for a stay in the city itself.
The hours match that purpose. Check-in runs from 20:00 and check-out ends at 09:00, a schedule built around overnight connections rather than full days.
From a 4 m² cabin to a 48 m² suite with kitchenette
At one end is the Recharge Sleep Cabin: 4 m², one twin bed, sleeping up to one, a place to rest between flights and little else. At the other end is the First Class King Junior Suite with Kitchenette: 48 m², with a super-king bed and a sofa bed.
Between those two, the Premium Queen offers 13 m² and one queen bed, sleeping up to three, while the Premium Plus Queen gives the same sleeping count in 23 m². The Premium Plus King and the Premium Plus Twin each cover 29 m², one with a super-king bed, the other with two twin beds. The First Class King with Bunk pairs a super-king bed with a bunk bed in 33 m²; with children allowed and family rooms among the facilities, it fits a family with a child. The First Class King Junior Suite, 42 m², has the same beds as its kitchenette version, a super-king and a sofa bed, in slightly less space.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps |

A restaurant, room service, facilities for disabled guests and meeting rooms
The hotel has a restaurant and room service, so a meal or a drink during a connection does not depend on the terminal's own offerings. Facilities for disabled guests and a lift cover movement within the hotel, and family rooms are part of the offer.
Meeting and banquet rooms make the hotel usable for more than resting: a work meeting between flights can be held here rather than in the public parts of the terminal.
Check-in from 20:00, check-out ends at 09:00
- Check-in starts at 20:00.
- Check-out ends at 09:00.
- Children are allowed.
- Pets are not allowed.
- The hotel has no parking.
Who it suits and who it does not
For a solo passenger with a long overnight connection, the Recharge Sleep Cabin answers the single question that matters: a bed, one twin, in 4 m². Couples have a step up through the Premium Queen, the Premium Plus King or the Premium Plus Twin, and a family can take the First Class King with Bunk, where the bunk bed sits alongside the super-king.
The hotel does not suit travellers with pets, and it has no parking, which follows from its position inside the terminal. Nor does it suit a traveller whose stay is in Istanbul itself: the hotel sits in the international transit area, about 0.2 km from Istanbul Airport (IST) in a straight line.
