Airport and meeting: Guests flying to Istanbul may land at Istanbul Airport (IST) or at Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). 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 the flight number in full; if you are connecting, the number of the last flight into Türkiye is what is needed. If your flight is a connection, enter the number of the last flight into Türkiye.
At the property: 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. 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. 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. Properties with the same name also exist in other areas; this page is prepared for Binbirdirek / Sultanahmet, so make sure you choose the right area when booking. The name is short and common, so it is easy to mix up; verify by address or map location, not only by name.
