Public transportation from Galataport requires multiple connections. While the T1 tram line is accessible from nearby Tophane station, reaching the hotel involves a connection at Sultanahmet and a considerable walk through narrow historic streets. This journey typically takes 45-50 minutes, depending on tram frequency and walking pace. Managing luggage on this route can be challenging, especially during peak tourist hours.

These services primarily focus on airport routes and do not offer direct connections to The Old Ottoman Castle. The limited scheduling and shared nature of shuttle services make them impractical for this particular journey.
