Your stay at Dedem Hotel will be in the Avcılar, Istanbul area. Avcılar is a district in the west of Istanbul's European side, on the Marmara coast and along the E-5 highway and Metrobus line. Address on record: Gümüşpala Mah. E5 Yanyol Üzeri No: 176 Avcilar.
Airport and meeting: Guests flying to Istanbul may land at Istanbul Airport (IST) or at Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). 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. Enter your phone number with the country code and make sure it will be switched on when you land; contact may be needed at the meeting.
At the property: Hotel names can look alike because of different branches of the same chain; confirm with the district name when you book. In this part of Istanbul's European side hotels are usually close to main arteries such as the E-5 (D100), the TEM and the coastal road; knowing which street your hotel faces helps the driver find the right entrance. Addresses are usually given by street name and building number; putting the street name and number in the booking saves the driver time.
Return transfer: On the return from the western districts, traffic on the E-5 and TEM varies a lot during the day; plan the pick-up with a wide margin counted back from departure and agree beforehand where the car will wait on busy streets. 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. On the morning of the pick-up, settle checkout beforehand, keep your luggage ready and make sure the phone number on your booking is switched on.
In short: the right airport, the right property name and area, the right flight number, a reachable phone. If these four are correct, the rest of the transfer usually goes smoothly.
