The journey from Istanbul Airport using public transportation requires multiple transfers. Take the IST-20 airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a 10-minute walk to the hotel. This option typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic and can be challenging with luggage due to crowded vehicles and walking distances.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Istanbul Airport and Sultanahmet. While more affordable than private options, they involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey time to approximately 2-3 hours. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times may not suit all travelers.
