About this transfer
Landing on the European side and heading towards Esenler brings you into the city along Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu. Booking our private Istanbul Airport (IST) to GRAND S HOTEL transfer means we meet you right outside arrivals with a name board, help with your luggage, and drive you directly to the hotel doors.
The road journey covers 46 km, taking around 38 minutes in typical conditions. We track your incoming flight so our driver is ready when you step into the terminal, including free waiting time if your landing is delayed.
Public transport requires boarding the M11 subway, changing onto the M7 at Kağıthane, and then transferring to the 33 bus to reach Yavuz Selim. That journey takes around 101 minutes and involves more than a kilometre of walking between platforms and the final street.
The HVL - 3 airport shuttle runs to the Otogar (Esenler) stop, which leaves you 628 m from your lobby. While the shuttle charges separately for each passenger and piece of luggage, our private vehicle provides one fixed rate for your entire group.
