Location

Istanbul, Uskudar

Altunizade Mahallesi, Kısıklı Caddesi, Oymacı Sokak No:20, 34662 Üsküdar, İstanbul

Rail transit · 559 m

Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is 33 km away, about 45 minutes by car. Istanbul Airport (IST) is 46 km away, 60-90 minutes depending on traffic. The hotel does not run an airport shuttle; from SAW, Havaist buses or the M4/M5 metro with a change are workable, while from IST a taxi or Havaist bus is the practical choice.

The hotel sits on Oymacı Sokak off Kısıklı Caddesi, just east of the Altunizade interchange and an 8-10 minute walk from Capitol shopping mall. The nearest rail links are the M5 Altunizade metro station and the Altunizade Metrobüs stop (roughly 10-15 minutes on foot); Bağlarbaşı is a 15-minute walk. By car it is 5 minutes to the 15 July Martyrs (Bosphorus) Bridge, 8 km to Kadıköy, 2.8 km to Beylerbeyi Palace, 3 km to Çamlıca Tower and 4.2 km to the Maiden's Tower. Taking the ferry from Üsküdar pier (about 3 km away) to the European side is cheaper and often faster than a taxi. Tripadvisor rates walkability 51/100: there are 68 restaurants within 0.75 miles, but no major sights within walking distance.
