Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the IST-20 bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk to the hotel. The journey typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic, with limited space for luggage and multiple stops along the way. During peak hours, overcrowding can make the journey challenging for travelers with bags.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending the journey time to potentially over 2 hours. Limited luggage space and preset departure times make this option less convenient for guests arriving at irregular hours. Advanced booking is required, and the service doesn't accommodate flight delays.

Taxi

While taxis are readily available at the airport, the journey to Sultanahmet can be unpredictable. Fares vary significantly based on traffic conditions, and finding a taxi willing to make the long journey during peak hours can be challenging. The trip typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
