About this transfer

Landing on the European side of Istanbul places you a considerable distance outside the central district of Beyoğlu. Arranging an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Ring Stone Hotel Bosphorus transfer in advance ensures our driver meets you directly at the terminal exit with your name displayed on a board. We take charge of your luggage and drive you straight onto the D-020 towards your destination.

The direct road route covers 52 kilometres and typically takes about 51 minutes during regular traffic conditions. We track your incoming flight continuously to adjust our arrival time for any unexpected delays, so your driver is ready when you emerge. Travelling in a private vehicle keeps your travel group together and guarantees a direct drop-off straight to the hotel front doors.

Reaching the destination by public transit involves managing luggage across several stations and connection points. The rail journey requires boarding the M11 line at the airport station, transferring at Gayrettepe onto the M2 subway, and exiting at Şişhane. The HVL-13 airport bus also runs to the Şişhane 6 stop, though both public transit options require walking the remaining distance on foot.

Our private transfer is priced at a flat €48 for the vehicle, covering all passengers together rather than charging individual ticket fares. Groups of two, three, or four people can split this single cost, making it straightforward to budget for your entire party. We manage the entire drive so you can step straight inside the hotel lobby without navigating city transit.
