YOTELAIR Istanbul Airport AIRSIDE
The hotel is convenient, but terribly expensive. There are no nice amenities—no coffee or tea for the morning. They did give us a bottle of water. The place is cold and sterile, no windows or even pictures. The place is good for an early flight if someone else is paying.
