Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available, it requires a combination of walking and uphill climbing. The nearest tram stop is at Karaköy, but the steep ascent to the hotel with luggage can be challenging. The route involves multiple stairs and inclined streets, making it impractical for cruise passengers with baggage.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services from Galataport are limited and do not provide direct access to the hotel. Most shuttle services focus on airport transfers rather than cruise port connections, making this an impractical option for cruise passengers.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at Galataport, but securing one during cruise ship arrival times can be challenging. Taxi drivers may not always be familiar with the optimal route through Beyoglu's narrow streets, and pricing can vary significantly based on traffic and route selection.
