About this transfer
Arriving on the European side and booking an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Centro WestSide by Rotana Hotel transfer takes you directly into Bağcılar. The drive covers 42 km along the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu. We meet you outside arrivals with a name board, assist with your bags, and take you straight to the hotel door.
Clear roads allow the journey to take 38 minutes. During the evening peak around 18:00, traffic can stretch the drive to 50 minutes. We track your flight before landing, so your driver waits at the terminal regardless of delays.
Public transport requires using the M11 and M7 subway lines before connecting to the A18-Bakırköy-Mahmutbey bus. That route involves two line changes and substantial walking between platforms while carrying luggage. The nearest rail stop to the property is İstoç on the M3 line.
Airport buses run on the HVL - 8 line toward Demirciler Sitesi (Mall Of), departing three times daily. Public transit options charge per passenger and add extra fees for baggage on shuttle routes. Our private service provides a fixed vehicle price for your entire group with direct drop-off.
