"Booked this as our flight from Cappadocia landed around 11pm and our flight out of Istanbul was the next day at 6pm. Family room for 4 of us was spacious consisting of 1 double bed, 1 sofa bed and 1 single (fold out kind). Price as many have mentioned is pretty steep and staff did offer us an extra hour for checkout at 12pm. I may be wrong but think that's the perk offered for flying Turkish Airlines. Just make sure to book the correct hotel as Yotel has 1 on each side (airside and landside)."
