Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation from Galataport is available, it requires multiple transitions. Guests can take the tram from Tophane to Sultanahmet, followed by a 10-minute walk to the hotel. This journey can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak tourist seasons. The route involves navigating busy streets and occasional steep inclines typical of Istanbul's historic district.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services from Galataport operate on fixed schedules and don't provide direct access to the Blue Gilroy Hotel. These services typically require additional walking with luggage through Sultanahmet's narrow streets, which can be inconvenient for travelers with heavy bags or those unfamiliar with the area.

Taxi

Regular taxis are readily available at Galataport, but service quality can vary significantly. Journey times fluctuate between 15-30 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Taxis may have difficulty locating the hotel's exact location in the maze-like streets of Sultanahmet, potentially leading to longer routes and higher fares.
