The airport operates all night and many departures take place in the very early hours of the morning, as well as arrivals are often late after midnight. Even with the greater distance to the city centre and the not-so-busy night traffic, in these cases we definitely recommend staying in one of the hotels near the airport.
Hotels near the airport
Directly within the terminal you can use ISG Sabiha Gökçen Airport Hotel **** with very reasonable prices 73 eur per night for a 2-bed room. The price is really good considering the fact that the hotel is only 50 meters from the terminal.
Directly in the transit area of the international part of the terminal there are hotel Kepler Club Sabiha Gökçen Airport. This hotel is suitable for long layover travelers who don't want to leave the transit area and go through immigration control.
There are classic rooms at high prices from 183 eur, but also small sleeping cubicles at prices from 55 eur.
No hotels near the airport will offer a free transfer to the terminal.
Hotels in Istanbul
A much wider range of accommodation of all kinds opens up before you in the centre of Istanbul. However, for early morning departures or late night arrivals, it's a good idea to assume that taxis will be your only transport option.
