Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Mavi Hotel from Istanbul Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVAIST airport shuttle to Taksim Square, followed by a 10-minute walk through busy streets. This option typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours. The varying elevation of Beyoglu's streets may present additional difficulty for travelers with heavy bags.

Airport Shuttle

Shared airport shuttles offer scheduled services to the Taksim area. However, these services include multiple hotel stops, extending journey times significantly. Advanced booking is required, and the fixed schedule doesn't accommodate flight delays. Additionally, the shuttle drop-off point may still require a walk to reach Mavi Hotel, which can be inconvenient with luggage.
