Transportation Options

Public Transportation

While public transportation is available through the M1A metro line and bus services, reaching Empire Suite Hotel requires multiple transfers. The journey involves taking the metro to Zeytinburnu, transferring to the T1 tram, and walking with luggage through busy market streets. Total travel time can exceed 100 minutes during peak hours, with limited space for luggage and varying service frequency.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey time significantly. Limited luggage capacity and predetermined routes mean less flexibility and comfort. The nearest shuttle drop-off point may require additional walking through crowded streets with your bags.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis offer variable pricing depending on traffic conditions and time of day. Journey times can range from 50 to 90 minutes based on traffic. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the long journey can be challenging, and vehicle comfort standards may vary considerably.
