Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the IST-20 airport bus to Aksaray, followed by a tram or short taxi ride to the hotel. This journey typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic and connection times. While economical, managing luggage on public transport can be challenging, especially during peak hours. The nearest metro station requires a 12-minute walk from the hotel.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Istanbul Airport and the city center. These require advance booking and involve multiple hotel stops, potentially extending journey time to 2-3 hours. Limited luggage space and fixed departure times make this option less convenient for many travelers. Additionally, the shuttle drop-off point may require walking some distance with luggage through the narrow streets around Grand Bazaar.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport's official taxi stands. The journey to Novel Hotel typically takes 50-70 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Prices vary significantly based on traffic and time of day. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to drive to the congested Grand Bazaar area can be challenging. Some taxis may have difficulty locating the hotel in the historic district's narrow streets.
