or would folks recommend the transit hotel and to explore Istanbul on my own?
No sleeping suite in the C TK lounge for you because your layover is over 9 hrs. You could perhaps be eligible for a layover hotel, which depends if your connection is the shortest possible among all TK flights (even those which are full already at the time of booking).
