European Side hotel guide. Kempinski Hotels & Resorts hotel in European Side, Istanbul

"We stayed in Istanbul for a wedding, and our hotel experience truly exceeded expectations. Our room had the most breathtaking Bosphorus view, and the service was impressively fast—they delivered our freshly ironed clothes in just half an hour. At Diba Bar, the hotel’s cocktail bar, we enjoyed some of the most unique and delicious cocktails. Simply tell the talented bartender, Enes Bey, what you’re in the mood for, and he’ll craft something perfect. For dining, Cigdem Hanım and Fahri Bey from guest relations gave us the best restaurant recommendations, making every meal memorable. Overall, an outstanding experience we’ll never forget!"

"Very convenient especially if you have a late flight. There is also a restaurant right by the hotel lobby. Clean decent rooms."

"I booked my stay through Expedia and stayed in a Premium King Room for a 10-hour layover. The experience was excellent. The room was modern, spacious, and very comfortable—perfect for getting a solid rest between flights. The bed was good and I was able to get great, uninterrupted sleep. The best part is the location inside the airport, which makes it extremely convenient. No need to leave the terminal or go through security again—everything is right there, just steps from your gate. Staff were professional and efficient, and the check-in/check-out process was smooth and quick, which is exactly what you need during a short stay. I highly recommend YOTEL Istanbul if you have a layover and need a comfortable, stress-free place to stay inside the airport. Booking through Expedia made it easy and hassle-free."

"Safe, clean, and high quality service very close to the airport. Nice view, as well. "
