Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Hotel Alilass from Istanbul Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVAIST airport shuttle to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk to the hotel. Total travel time can exceed 120 minutes depending on 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 along the route. While more economical than private options, the journey time is unpredictable due to various hotel drop-offs. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times may not suit all travelers, particularly those arriving on early morning or late night flights.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at the airport's official taxi stands. The 51.5 km journey can take 60-90 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Prices vary based on traffic and time of day, with potential challenges in communicating the exact hotel location to drivers. Vehicle quality and comfort levels can be inconsistent.
