About
Yesilkoey Airport Hotel
Yesilkoey Airport Hotel sits in a calm suburb of Istanbul, a short ride from the airport and within walking distance of local shops, restaurants, and the waterfront promenade. The building is around a century old, giving it a sense of history that newer airport hotels lack, while the interior has been updated with comfortable beds and modern bathrooms.
The hotel is family-run, and guests consistently mention the warmth and willingness of the staff to help with everything from local recommendations to airport transfers. There is a garden courtyard for relaxing, and the neighbourhood itself is worth exploring, with a mix of real Turkish life rather than a tourist-only bubble.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Genuinely attentive staff — Multiple guests highlight the owner and team going out of their way — picking up a guest dropped at the wrong hotel, arranging taxis, helping with luggage transfers, and offering local advice.
- Great value for an airport stay — The price point, free breakfast, and proximity to the airport make it a practical, budget-friendly choice for layovers or early departures, especially compared to generic airport chain hotels.
- A characterful building with a garden courtyard — The roughly 100-year-old property offers a sense of Turkish history, with a recently remodeled bathroom and a pleasant garden courtyard.
- Convenient airport access with shuttle option — Located near the airport, and the hotel offers a paid shuttle pick-up, saving guests the hassle of negotiating with taxi drivers.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can be small — One guest noted the single room was very small and upgraded to a double. Another mentioned a small but comfortable room with a king-size bed.
- Facilities are basic — The Facilities rating is the lowest at 5.0, and the property lacks a dedicated on-site gym or pool, instead offering more modest amenities like a TV room and garden.
- Building shows some wear — One guest described the hotel as 'slightly tired looking' despite being value for money, suggesting the decor may feel dated in places.
