Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available from Istanbul Airport, reaching Arena Hotel Special Class requires multiple transfers. The journey involves taking the HAVAIST airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk with luggage through narrow historic streets. Total journey time can exceed 2 hours during peak traffic, and the final approach to the hotel through cobblestone streets can be challenging with luggage.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout Sultanahmet. The journey typically takes 2-3 hours due to numerous pickup points. Limited luggage space and strict departure times make this option less convenient for travelers seeking comfort and flexibility. Additionally, the shuttle drop-off point may require walking some distance to reach Arena Hotel Special Class.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport, but the journey can be unpredictable. Prices vary significantly based on traffic conditions and time of day. During peak hours, the trip can take up to 90 minutes. Drivers may not be familiar with the exact location of Arena Hotel Special Class in the historic district's maze-like streets, potentially leading to delays.
