In our listings BLUE SULTAN APART is filed under Binbirdirek / Sultanahmet, Istanbul. Binbirdirek is in the Fatih district, on the historic peninsula close to Sultanahmet Square and Hagia Sophia. Address on record: Asmalı Çeşme Sokak 18, 34122.
Airport and meeting: Istanbul has two major airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) on the Asian side. Enter the flight number in full; if you are connecting, the number of the last flight into Türkiye is what is needed. 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. 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. Around Binbirdirek the hotels are spread over narrow streets such as Divanyolu Caddesi and Dizdariye Çeşmesi Sokağı; putting the street name in the booking makes it easier for the driver to find the right entrance.
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. If you have a very early flight, tell the hotel a day ahead; it helps if the property knows about early checkout and breakfast.
Before completing the booking, look at: airport code, property name and Binbirdirek / Sultanahmet, flight number, number of people and bags, contact number.
