About long layover at Istanbul
We have 13 hours layover at Istanbul while traveling to Europe by Turkish Airlines. We don’t have a transit visa. Can we book a room night at any hotel within the airport premises?
Best Answer
There is the YOTEL Airport Hotel that has 174 rooms available only to airside passengers. Rooms are bookable online and can be booked for as little as 4 hours.
As the airside part of the hotel is only accessible to transit passengers you should be fine to use it without a visa.
