About this transfer

Arriving on the Asian side and heading to Beyoğlu on the European side means travelling across the entire city after your flight lands. Booking a private Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Seminal Otel transfer ensures our driver meets you in the arrival hall with a name board. We assist with your luggage right away and lead you directly to your reserved vehicle outside the terminal building.

The drive covers 62 kilometres along the Anadolu Otoyolu and crosses over into the European quarters of Istanbul. Without traffic delays, our driver takes you straight to the hotel in approximately 54 minutes. Heavy morning traffic can extend that travel time significantly, especially along the central highway sections and bridge approaches.

Public transport requires taking the M4 metro from the airport terminal, changing to the B1 Marmaray line, and switching again to the M2 subway toward Taksim. That complete transit journey takes 99 minutes and requires navigating between platforms with your luggage. The SG-2 airport shuttle runs regular departures to Abdülhak Hamit Caddesi, which leaves passengers with a short walk to the property entrance.

Our private transfer provides a single fixed price starting from €65 for the entire vehicle rather than charging per person. We include flight tracking to adjust for delays, free waiting time at the arrivals gate, and full luggage assistance. You travel straight to the hotel door in comfort, avoiding the inconvenience of changing lines with heavy bags along the way.
