Good

Room was spacious as meant for 3, toilet/bathroom area separated by curtains. There was a connecting door to the room and other occupiers annoyingly rattled the knob and it was already past midnight! Likewise, people still talked and laughed loudly in the wee hours along the corridor despite signs to tell people to remain quiet. Functional, don’t expect a regular hotel room environment!

Disliked: Cleanliness
This place is very convenient and safe if you have a stay over. That being said, it is overpriced, our mattress has spills on it, the shower was very dirty, my room smelled very stale. On top of that I paid for breakfast with my room only to be told that it only covers 2 people even though I booked a room for myself, my wife and son. Can only recommend if you want to stay in the airport for your stay.

Not good
My flight was cancelled. I try to cancel this booking. Tray to contact hotel directly but nobody answered.
Finally I was charged for nothing.
Very clean, comfortable bed and room, nice shower, airside at airport so easy to get to connecting flight. Able to control the temperature of the room. Relaxing lighting, plenty of bedside plugs, USB ports.
An option if you have an overnight change of planes and don’t want to get a visa. Tiny room, the bed needs to be folded up to get to the bathroom.
Difficult to find in the maze of IST
But a safe place to get a few hours sleep and a shower.
The reservation I had was to have been a rack room on the air side of customs. (A simple room to sleep for a few hours before 4am flight). Problem was I needed a boarding pass to get to room on that side of customs. Boarding processing didn't begin until 1am. Catch-22 was I had a room but I couldn't get to it. Had to pay considerably extra to sleep on side where boarding passes were. Staff person said "Don't worry, this happens a lot." I'll bet!
Room was fine. Admin/check-in was not.
Great customer service but the room was not cleaned properly. There was a wet smell in the room. Unfortunately, the bed covers and duvet were ripped apart around the edges. However, the front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating!
If you’re expecting anything more than a vestibule, think about an upgrade. Having accepted my fate, still had trouble coping with the rock hard bed and pillow (thought the sheets were very crisp and clean), worn bath towels, scalding (unusable) shower, and single female toilet averaging a cleaning every 12 hours. Worst of all, somehow very loud, with children’s squealing echoing from the ceilings at all hours of the night. Seemed like a lot for the price point, but that should be Yotel’s slogan by this point.
The staff was very helpful and fast, easy to check-in and ask questions.
The room was decently clean but maybe needs a bit more dusting and a proper wipe down. The bed is comfortable and I had no problems sleeping although the noise outside can be somewhat heard. The airport noise and cleaning of other rooms didn’t bother too much though. The provided products are decent, shower and toilets are clean. The only downside is the air conditioning in the room wasn’t great and heated up quite a bit over time despite setting it to a lower temperature. Overall it’s a nice place to rest and feel safe if you have a long layover.
The booking process was very unclear. When booking I made it clear as to my requirements; that I would be transferring from one flight to another and would need my bag and I was advised for airside. Which was incorrect. I needed land side and then had to pay extra. This also happened to other customers whilst I was checking in. You should make it very clear as to which side of the airport people should book if transferring, this is especially true in an airport like Istanbul as it is hub airport. I would not recommend anyone to stay here
