Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available from Istanbul Airport to Beyoglu, it requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the IST-20 airport bus to Mecidiyekoy, followed by a metro connection to Sishane station, and a final walk to the hotel. This option typically takes 90-120 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through busy public transport can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate between Istanbul Airport and various city hotels. However, these services follow fixed schedules with multiple stops, extending journey time significantly. Limited luggage capacity and lack of flexibility with flight delays can make this option less convenient for travelers seeking comfort and efficiency.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport, but journey times can vary significantly (60-100 minutes) depending on traffic conditions. Prices fluctuate based on traffic and time of day, and some drivers may be unfamiliar with the specific location of The Stay Galata. Vehicle quality and comfort levels can be inconsistent.
