European Side hotel guide. Independent hotel in European Side, Istanbul

"This is the first time that I’ve stayed at a hotel inside the security zone at an airport. It was a great experience. We arrived late from Italy, walked from our gate to international transfers, went through the screening process, and then walked to the Yotel-air. The staff was helpful and within 35 minutes of arrival we were in our room. It is a small yet quiet and convenient space with all the necessities to grab a few hours of comfortable sleep before traveling on your way. The have a direct connection to the flight schedule on the tv in your room and you can ask the staff for the amount of time it takes to walk from the front desk to your gate. We had about a 10 minute walk. So we rolled out of bed with enough time to grab a coffee and arrive at our gate just as boarding began—it was a win all around!"

"I would like to show my appreciation for the friendliness, professionalism and the willingness of Mr. Apo to help his guests = we needed information on how to best reach our other hotel = he showed us the best way to reach our other hotel and even printed a detailed map = again thank you very much"

"The internet was fast. The breakfast buffet was excellent! I could live on the buffet.The staff were all pleasant and nice to talk with. The clean room. I was pleasantly surprised."

"It’s a very good hotel. Clean, friendly staff."

"Coffeemaker didn't work. Omelet was very good. Room was ok, didn't use AC. "

"Great hotel with a spectacular view of Bosphorus. The staff were awesome. The food was fresh and beautifully prepared. The spa experience was great. "

"The pick up at the airport was late and the hotel we were to go to was changed enroute so we stayed at a different hotel. The person who was messaging me was nice. The staff were ambivalent until he called them then all attitudes changes to positive."

"If you are planning on going here, please be prepared not to carry any heavy luggage. All the floors have carpet and it makes it so difficult to pull your luggage. It was grueling."
