Notice
If you would like us to call a taxi station and ask a yellow cab for you, we will be happy to call the taxi stations nearby and ask on your behalf.
Please be informed that we cannot guarantee the taxi stations will always be able to send a taxi. Due to scarcity in taxi cabs in Istanbul and traffic restrictions, the taxi staations may sometimes say that they do not have enough taxis in hand and/or reuse to go to a destination that is too close/far or too heavy in traffic. On the other hand, finding a taxi to get to the airports is usually not a problem. We still recommend our guests to inform us about a taxi need to the airports one day beforehand.
Many sections of Istanbul’s primary old city area have traffic restrictions, including our street. These restrictions do not apply to the hotel’s airport transfer cars and yellow taxis, unless they have an unpaid penalty ticket. The restricted traffic hours are from 10 am to 9 pm every day. If you are arriving with your own car, you can enter the area outside of these restricted hours and park legally in a closed parking garage. With your parking receipt, you will be allowed to go in and out. Please be aware that the municipality may sometimes amend the rules without prior notice.
