Beyoğlu is a central district on Istanbul's European side, north of the Golden Horn, with many hotels around Taksim, İstiklal Avenue, Galata and Karaköy. Judging by the map location, the property appears to be around Tünel, Şişhane and Pera. Address information in our system: Meşrutiyet Caddesi 44, Beyoğlu, Istanbul, 34435.
Airport and meeting: Guests flying to Istanbul may land at Istanbul Airport (IST) or at Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). 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. Enter first name and surname exactly as in your passport; it avoids name mix-ups at the meeting.
At the property: İstiklal Avenue is a pedestrian zone closed to vehicles; hotels near it are approached from side streets or from surrounding roads such as Tarlabaşı and Sıraselviler. That is why it matters which street your hotel entrance is on. Around Taksim, Galata, Cihangir and Karaköy there are many hotels with the same or similar names; checking by address or street name prevents being sent to the wrong hotel. Around Tünel Square and Meşrutiyet Caddesi there are former consulate buildings and boutique hotels; the streets are narrow and stopping places on the sloping side streets are limited. Around Şişhane metro station the streets drop steeply; tell the driver which street the hotel is on, together with the address. In the evening and at weekends the roads around Taksim are busy; choosing a pick-up or drop-off point on a side street away from the crowding saves time.
Return transfer: On the return from Beyoğlu to the airport, Istanbul traffic varies a lot by time of day and between weekdays and weekends; plan the pick-up with a wide margin counted back from departure, and if the hotel is on a narrow street, find out the corner where the car will wait 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.
Things to check when booking: the property name and area (Beyoğlu), flight number, number of passengers and bags, a reachable phone number and the arrival or departure date.
