The Istanbul Hotel enjoys a prime location in Sultanahmet, the heart of Istanbul's historic peninsula. Situated on Yerebatan Street, the hotel offers immediate access to iconic landmarks including the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, and Blue Mosque. This highly regarded establishment sits in a district celebrated for its rich Byzantine and Ottoman heritage, surrounded by traditional restaurants, authentic bazaars, and cultural attractions. The neighborhood's charming cobblestone streets lead to numerous museums, traditional hammams, and artisanal shops.
While public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport is available, the 46.4 km journey requires multiple transfers. The route typically involves taking the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or walk to Sultanahmet. This journey can take 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and connection times, and can be challenging with luggage.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Sultanahmet. While more affordable than private options, these services involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey time to over 2 hours. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times may not suit all travelers, particularly those arriving on early morning or late evening flights.
Standard taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the long-distance journey can become costly, especially during peak traffic hours. Journey times vary significantly based on traffic conditions, typically ranging from 60 to 90 minutes. Payment methods and price negotiations can be challenging for international visitors.
