Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVAIST airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk to the hotel. Total journey time can exceed 120 minutes depending on traffic, with limited space for luggage and varying service frequency. During peak hours or adverse weather, the journey can be particularly challenging.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending the journey time significantly. Limited luggage capacity and preset departure times make this option less convenient for guests arriving with multiple bags or during off-peak hours. Advanced booking is required, and the service doesn't accommodate flight delays.

Taxi Service

Regular taxis are available at the airport, but journey times can vary greatly depending on traffic conditions. The 51.1 km route typically takes 60-90 minutes. Prices fluctuate based on traffic and time of day, and vehicle comfort levels can be inconsistent. Credit card acceptance isn't guaranteed in all taxis.
