Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the M11 metro line to Gayrettepe, then transferring to M2 line to Sishane station, followed by a 10-minute walk to the hotel. This journey typically takes 75-90 minutes, depending on waiting times and can be challenging with luggage due to the area's steep streets and crowded stations.

Airport Shuttle

Shuttle services operate from Istanbul Airport to various city locations but don't offer direct access to the hotel. You would need to disembark at a central point and arrange additional transportation to reach the Galata area. The shared nature of these services means multiple stops and unpredictable journey times.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport, but journey times and costs can vary significantly depending on traffic conditions. The 42.7 km route typically takes between 45-75 minutes, with potential challenges in locating the hotel in the narrow streets of the historic district.
