Hampton by Hilton Istanbul Airport, Arnavutkoy
Property is near the airport. Easy to take a taxi (cost around $15 USD) there. Hotel doesn’t provide shuttle. Clean room and good internet. I stayed here because I needed to take a morning flight and it worked out well. The breakfast was wonderful!

YOTEL Istanbul Airport LANDSIDE, City Entrance
Convenient since it’s inside the airport, but if you have more time don’t stay there. It’s very expensive for nothing. One staff member was okay, the other was rude. It feels like a hotel in a box, no natural air, and the room is very small. For what we paid, it’s worth 30 euros max.
