About This Site

Istanbul Airport Hotel Guide (istanbulairporthotel.com) is an independent editorial guide to hotels at and around Istanbul Airport (IST). It is written for travellers who need a practical answer to one question: where should I stay before an early flight, during a long layover, or on a trip that starts and ends at IST?

The site is not owned by, or affiliated with, iGA Istanbul Airport (the airport operator), Turkish Airlines, or any hotel chain featured on these pages.

How we research hotel information

Every hotel page is compiled from the hotel’s own published information, booking platform listings, and official airport sources. We focus on the details that matter at IST: whether a hotel is airside or landside, whether a stay needs a boarding pass or a visa, how the hourly cabin systems work, walking routes inside the vast terminal, metro and shuttle connections, and facilities relevant to short stays such as day rooms, sleep pods, showers and 24-hour dining.

Each page shows the date its information was last verified. Prices, opening hours and shuttle schedules change; always confirm current details with the hotel or booking site before you travel.

One city, two airports

Istanbul has two international airports. This site covers Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is on the Asian side, about 80 kilometres away, and hotels named for one are useless for the other; our IST vs SAW guide untangles it.

How the site is funded

The site earns commissions from booking links, described in the affiliate disclosure. Hotels cannot pay for placement, better coverage, or a place in our comparisons.
