In our listings Istanbul - Cordial House 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: Peykhane Caddesi 19, Istanbul, 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. 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. Enter first name and surname exactly as in your passport; it avoids name mix-ups at the meeting.
At the property: 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. 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. 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.
