About this transfer

Landing on the European side of the city and heading to your accommodation in Şişli places you about 50 kilometres out from the property. Arranging our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Harbiye Apart Hotel Joy Suites transfer ensures we meet you at the arrivals gate with a personalised name board. We monitor your inbound flight for any delays, wait for you if needed, and handle your luggage as we guide you to your waiting vehicle.

The route heads along the D-020 and usually takes around 48 minutes from the terminal. Choosing our service brings you directly to the hotel door without the need to figure out local streets or find taxis upon arrival. Our pricing starts from a fixed €46, which applies to the whole vehicle rather than calculating fares on a per-passenger basis.

If you choose public transit, the trip involves taking the M11 subway from the terminal to Kağıthane before switching to the 48N bus toward Harbiye Askeri Müze. From that bus stop, reaching the accommodation requires a walk with your bags through the neighbourhood. This journey requires transferring between lines and managing your own luggage up and down transit platforms.

The HVL - 9 airport shuttle service offers another alternative toward Taksim, though it leaves you a considerable walk from your destination. That option charges separate ticket fares for each passenger along with fees for extra luggage pieces. We offer a dedicated private vehicle instead, driving your entire party straight to the hotel entrance in one continuous trip.
