Situated on a charming street near the epicenter of Byzantine and Ottoman heritage, the hotel provides guests with immediate access to iconic landmarks including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. The surrounding area is characterized by its rich historical atmosphere, traditional restaurants, and authentic bazaars, making it a preferred choice for cultural enthusiasts and history buffs.
The journey from Sabiha Gokcen International Airport crosses the Asian side of Istanbul, passing through modern districts before crossing the Bosphorus Bridge into European Istanbul. This cross-continental route offers stunning views of both modern and historic Istanbul, transitioning from contemporary neighborhoods to the ancient peninsula where the hotel is located.
Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABÜS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or walk to Sultanahmet. This complex journey takes approximately 2.5 hours, challenging with luggage and dependent on traffic and ferry schedules.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops along the route. While budget-friendly, the journey can take up to 3 hours due to various hotel drop-offs and peak traffic conditions. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for many travelers.
Regular taxis are available but may present challenges with varying prices and routes. During peak hours, the journey can be unpredictable, and some drivers might be unfamiliar with the hotel's exact location in Sultanahmet's narrow streets. Communication can also be challenging for international visitors.
