Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Mercure Istanbul Umraniye from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, followed by a metro connection and a bus ride. This complex route typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic and can be challenging with luggage. The total walking distance including transfers is approximately 800 meters.

Airport Shuttle

While shared airport shuttles operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport, they don't directly serve the Umraniye area. This means you would need to arrange additional transportation from the shuttle's drop-off point to reach Mercure Istanbul Umraniye. The inconvenience of multiple transfers and extended travel time makes this option less practical for hotel guests.

Taxi Service

Traditional yellow taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the 32.6 km journey to Umraniye can be costly, especially during peak traffic hours. Journey times vary significantly between 45-90 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Taxi fares are metered but surge pricing may apply during busy periods.
