I stayed in a 140-square-foot windowless lodge room contained in the Istanbul Airport throughout my 15-hour layover — see inside my tiny room

• I stayed in a Yotelair lodge contained in the Istanbul Airport for about $230 throughout my 15-hour layover.
• The lodge was positioned among the many airport terminal’s luxurious shops, eating places, and reward outlets.
• Have a look contained in the windowless 140-square-foot lodge room.

Waking up earlier than dawn to attend an hour in an airport safety screening line and even longer on the gate is a depressing fashionable human expertise, at the very least for me (a giant complainer). 

So after I had the chance to e book a room within the airside Yotelair lodge throughout my 15-hour in a single day layover in Istanbul, I figured it could be a worthwhile time saver. I’d pay something — on this case $230 — to skip the boring wait inside airports. Plus, a sleepover inside an airport terminal sounded enjoyable (in a “Evening on the Museum” form of method).

Nevertheless it got here at a non-monetary value: My 140-square-foot lodge room may need been one of many smallest and costliest cost-per-square-foot rooms I’ve stayed in.

Let’s have a look round my lodging for the night time.
