Located on the charming Aksakal Street near Küçük Ayasofya, the hotel sits in a district where Byzantine and Ottoman heritage converge.

The district's character perfectly balances tourist attractions with local charm, offering both cultural immersion and modern comfort.

Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the HAVAIST airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk to the hotel. The journey typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic, with buses departing every 30 minutes. Managing luggage through crowded public transport and the district's historic streets can be challenging, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout Sultanahmet. While more economical than private options, the journey time can extend beyond 2 hours due to numerous stops. Limited luggage space and strict departure times make this option less convenient for families or travelers with significant baggage.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but journey times can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. Prices fluctuate according to time of day and traffic situation. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the long journey to Sultanahmet can be challenging, and vehicle comfort standards may vary considerably.
