In our listings Esma Old City is filed under Binbirdirek / Sultanahmet, Istanbul. Binbirdirek is in the Fatih district, on the historic peninsula close to Sultanahmet Square and Hagia Sophia. 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: 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. The property's full address is not in our records; writing the address the hotel gave you, or its Google Maps location, in the booking notes makes the driver's job easier.
Hotel FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Esma Old City

Practical answers about airport transfers, pricing, pickup details and this hotel.

10 · Quick answers
01Which airport should I choose for Esma Old City?+

Istanbul has two airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side. Choose the airport code on your ticket when booking; as the two are on different sides of the city, choosing wrongly changes the transfer completely.

02Can the transfer vehicle come up to the entrance of Esma Old City?+

Around Sultanahmet and Binbirdirek, narrow and pedestrianised streets mean the car may not reach the hotel door; the driver drops you at the nearest vehicle point. Find out the meeting point your hotel uses and add it to the booking. Entrance arrangements differ from property to property; if in doubt, confirm with reception before booking.

03What details should I enter when booking?+

The property name and area (Binbirdirek / Sultanahmet), flight number (the last flight if connecting), number of passengers and bags, a reachable phone number (with country code) and the arrival or departure date. Write the passenger name exactly as in the passport.

04How should I set the pick-up time for the return transfer from Esma Old City?+

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. If you have a very early flight, tell the hotel a day ahead; it helps if the property knows about early checkout and breakfast.

05What should I do if my flight is delayed?+

Enter the flight number in the booking; if the flight is delayed or cancelled, get in touch straight away using the contact details in your booking confirmation and give your updated landing time.

06What should I do if the hotel's address is not on record?+

The property's full address is not in our records; writing the address the hotel gave you, or its Google Maps location, in the booking notes makes the driver's job easier.

07How long is the transfer from İstanbul Airport to Esma Old City?+

08Private transfer or shared transfer to Esma Old City – what is the difference?+

A private transfer takes you straight to Esma Old City without stopping at other hotels; the drive takes about 44 minutes in normal traffic. Shared transfers (including many package-holiday coaches) stop at several hotels on the way, so the journey is often noticeably longer.

09How much is a transfer from İstanbul Airport to Esma Old City?+

Transfer prices currently start from €50.00. The final total depends on the vehicle and service you choose, and you will see it before confirming your booking.

10Is the price per person or per vehicle?+

Private transfers are priced per vehicle, not per person – from €50.00 on this route. Within the vehicle's capacity the number of passengers does not change the price, so the cost per person drops for families and groups.
