Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport to Hotel Aslan Istanbul requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminonu, and finally a tram or walk to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Sultanahmet area. However, these involve fixed schedules, multiple hotel stops, and often require additional walking to reach Hotel Aslan Istanbul. The shared nature of the service means journey times can extend beyond 2 hours.

Taxi

While taxis are available at the airport, the long-distance journey to Sultanahmet can be costly and unpredictable. Traffic conditions, especially during rush hours, can significantly impact both travel time and fare. Communication difficulties and route confusion may also pose challenges for international travelers.
