Reaching Hotel Washington via public transportation from Istanbul Airport requires multiple transfers. Take the IST-20 airport bus to Mecidiyeköy, then transfer to the M2 metro line to Yenikapı, followed by a 15-minute walk or short taxi ride. This journey typically takes 100-120 minutes and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.
Shared shuttle services operate between Istanbul Airport and the Grand Bazaar area. However, these require advance booking, follow fixed schedules, and make multiple stops along the route. The journey can take up to 2.5 hours depending on other passengers' destinations and traffic conditions.
Traditional yellow taxis are available at Istanbul Airport's taxi stands. The 47.2 km journey typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Prices vary significantly based on traffic and time of day, and finding a taxi willing to use the meter can be challenging during peak hours.
