Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching the hotel from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 120-150 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Sultanahmet. While more affordable than private options, these services make multiple stops at different hotels, extending journey times significantly. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times can make this option less convenient for travelers seeking comfort and flexibility.

Taxi Service

Standard yellow taxis are available at the airport, but the 46.6 km journey can be costly and time-consuming. Journey duration varies significantly based on traffic conditions, potentially ranging from 60 to 120 minutes. Peak hour congestion and finding drivers willing to make the long cross-city journey can be challenging.
