How are the rooms? It looks so bare bones on the website. Also, can you stay airside if you're arriving from the city at night for a morning flight? Like if you are not arriving on a plane and are already airside?

One thing is for sure: for central locales on the European side the new airport is no Atatürk..
Our flight is June 9 so maybe too early for the Metro to be open (plus the time we'd have to leave our hotel might be before the train even starts running) but that would be awesome.
