On the square
The hotel’s contact page places it on Taksim Square, in the Gümüşsuyu neighbourhood of Beyoğlu. Taksim is the transport heart of the European side: İstiklal Avenue starts here, and the M2 metro stops at the square.
Parts of the square are pedestrian. The van approaches from the road side and stops as close to the hotel door as the traffic rules allow.
Fixed fares for this hotel
- Istanbul Airport: €50 Eco Van (up to six people), €60 Vito, €65 V-Class, €80 Sprinter (up to 16).
- From Sabiha Gökçen to The Marmara Taksim: €70 Eco Van, €80 Vito, €85 V-Class, €100 Sprinter.
Taksim and Istanbul Airport are on the same shore. From Sabiha Gökçen the car crosses the Bosphorus, about 43 km and about 35 minutes on a clear road, hence the higher fare.
The quoted price is the price you pay the driver at the end. No deposit, no card details in advance.
Arriving at night
If your flight lands in the small hours, nothing changes: the fare is the same, the driver tracks the flight and waits for delays at no charge, and you walk out of the terminal exit to find your name on a sign.
From Taksim to your flight
Leaving Taksim, the driver meets you at the hotel. The roads out of the centre are slowest on weekday mornings and evenings and on Friday nights. Booking the return together with the arrival costs €100 for an Eco Van to IST and €140 to SAW.
Taksim as a base
Staying on the square puts the metro, buses and İstiklal Avenue at the hotel door, which makes Taksim a natural base for a short city break. For the airport runs the square has a drawback: traffic around it is dense in the evening. Booking a fixed fare in advance means the price does not move, however long the queue on the final stretch.
A Vito costs €60 from Istanbul Airport and €80 from Sabiha Gökçen if you would like more room than the Eco Van offers.
