The hotel's location offers easy access to the Hippodrome, Basilica Cistern, and the Grand Bazaar, all within a 10-minute walk.

Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVAIST airport shuttle to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk to your final destination. Total journey time typically exceeds 90 minutes, varying with traffic conditions. Managing luggage through crowded public transport can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey times unpredictably. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for travelers. The nearest shuttle drop-off point may require additional walking with luggage through Sultanahmet's historic streets.

Taxi Service

Regular taxis are available at the airport, but journey costs can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and route selection. Vehicle quality and comfort levels are inconsistent, and peak hour availability can be limited. The 50.4 km journey typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
