Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Istanbul Hostel from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABÜS airport shuttle to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or short walk to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours, 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 considerably. Additionally, shuttles require advance booking and offer limited flexibility with departure times. The shared nature of the service means you may need to wait for other passengers or experience extended travel times.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the journey to Sultanahmet can be unpredictable. The 48.9 km route often experiences heavy traffic, especially during rush hours, leading to variable journey times and fares. Taxis may struggle to locate the hostel's specific address in Sultanahmet's narrow streets, and communication can be challenging for international visitors.
