Oldcity Hotel Istanbul enjoys a prime position in Sultanahmet, the historic heart of Istanbul's Old City. Located near Cemberlitas, this hotel provides easy access to iconic landmarks like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar. The surrounding area is characterized by narrow cobblestone streets, traditional restaurants, and centuries of Byzantine and Ottoman heritage.
The journey from Sabiha Gokcen International Airport crosses the Asian side of Istanbul, over the Bosphorus Bridge, offering spectacular city views before descending into the historical peninsula. The 49.4 km route typically takes 60-90 minutes, varying significantly with traffic conditions, especially during rush hours on the E-5 highway and coastal road.
Public transportation requires multiple transfers, starting with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry or metro to Eminönü/Marmaray, and finally a tram or walk to Sultanahmet. This journey takes approximately 2.5 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules to the Old City area. However, they include multiple hotel stops, extending journey time to 2-3 hours. Limited luggage space and inflexible departure times can make this option less convenient for travelers.
Standard taxis are available at the airport, but prices can vary significantly based on traffic and route taken. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the cross-city journey may be challenging, and language barriers can complicate the journey to specific locations in the Old City's narrow streets.
