Convenient location but Expensive .
. Yotel Istanbul. Recharge Pods. It was fine but … really would have been better if they had offered towels for each guest in the pod obtaining one in the communal washroom was a bit of a lottery. A little expensive for what they provide.

Awful experience.
Check in was fine . 10 minute wait. Please be aware of check in times . Mine wasn’t until 8.00 PM and check out 9.00 AM. Cabins are fine for a short stay . However this was possibly the worst nights sleep I had ever had in a hotel . The doors are sliding and have no sound insulation and there are hard floors both inside and outside of the rooms. Every time someone walked by or talked outside it woke me up. I would definitely not stay there again . Bathrooms are shared . 2 x showers . I didn’t have a problem but I can see it could be difficult at peak times . Convenient yes but an awful experience.

It is not a hotel. It is sleeping pods.
This is not a hotel. It is a sleeping pod with shared bathrooms and showers. The "room" is about the size of my closet and there is only space for a bed. There is not even a sink in the room. For €165!!!! I complained so much they eventually gave me a room at their hotel for another €150!!! As opposed to the regular price that would have been another €220. This room was so small I had to walk sideways around the bed. But had a shower and bathroom. It was OK, but not nearly worth the monies.

Grab a chair in the terminal instead.
This was my second stay with Yotelair in Istanbul. The first time, I couldn’t find it, ended up buying a visa and going out of the airport, then coming back in! This time I found it and realised I’d booked a ‘recharge cabin’ rather than a proper room (for a similar price as before). Fair enough, I only had about 8 hours before my next flight anyway. First, check-in takes ages, for no apparent reason. I figured they might need a passport and payment. But the system was so slow, takes 5-10 mins per person! And why do I need to sign 3 different docs before I get my key?? Took a while to figure out how to work the cabin, as the lights go out when the door shuts (and obviously there are no windows). The bathroom facilities are small - 2 showers. Towels are supposed to be supplied, but where? I checked the details on the TV - turns out it’s €15 for a shower! I thought there was free coffee at reception as well till the receptionist shouted at me. And the cabin - the bed is hard, like sleeping on the pavement with a step for a pillow. And the Star Trek door is thin white plastic that keeps out neither light nor noise (especially when someone vacuums at 1:30am). I’d have got more sleep in a chair in the terminal. If I have another overnight stay in Istanbul, I’ll do that. Expensive, not a great experience and not much positive to say, other than it’s airside so the location is handy. They should maybe focus less on the tech and more on the guest requirements!

Captive audience
We arrived late due to a flight delay. But check in was seemless, however the room was very small. Which was fine, but the value for the price paid, was seriously lacking. Captive audience, guess you can charge those high rates.
