HOTEL TRANSFER TIME & DISTANCE
Your stay at Blue Istanbul Hotel will be in the Binbirdirek / Sultanahmet, Istanbul area. Binbirdirek is in the Fatih district, on the historic peninsula close to Sultanahmet Square and Hagia Sophia. Address information in our system: Dizdariye çeşmesi sokak, Fatih, İstanbul.
Airport and meeting: Istanbul has two major airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) on the Asian side. Before booking, check the airport code on your ticket (IST or SAW); the two airports are on opposite sides of the city, so choosing wrongly costs a lot of time. Traffic in Istanbul varies greatly during the day and between weekdays and weekends, so the journey time cannot be given as one figure and it is wise to leave a margin. If you land late at night or in the early hours, let the hotel reception know your arrival time too; properties often want advance notice for night check-in.
At the property: The T1 tram line runs through the area, so vehicle traffic may be restricted on some streets; the safest approach is to agree with hotel reception where the car can drop you. Sultanahmet Square and the streets around it are pedestrianised or closed to vehicles, so for most hotels here the car may not reach the door and the driver may drop you at the nearest suitable point. Pavements on the historic peninsula are cobbled and in places sloping, and wheeled suitcases can be hard work. Ask the hotel beforehand whether they help with luggage.
Return transfer: On the return from Sultanahmet to the airport, Istanbul traffic varies a lot during the day; plan the pick-up with a wide margin counted back from departure, and ask reception for the nearest vehicle point and tell the driver. For the return, check on your ticket which airport you fly from (IST or SAW) and plan the pick-up counted back from departure with a wide margin. Settle any extra bills and hand in keys or cards before leaving the hotel, so that last-minute delays do not affect the pick-up time.
Things to check when booking: the property name and area (Binbirdirek / Sultanahmet), flight number, number of passengers and bags, a reachable phone number and the arrival or departure date.İstanbul Airport to Blue istanbul hotel transfer time
