Reaching Hotel

The Blu Hotel Istanbul happens to be among those hotels still standing right at the perfect spot for airport logistics.

From Istanbul Airport (IST): Board the Havaist Shuttle Bus(Line HVIST-12) This bus travels directly from the airport to Aksaray Metro Station stop which is just a few minutes' walk to the hotel.This is the least expensive and most efficient way of arriving.(approx.60-80 minutes)

From Sabiha Gökçen (SAW): Havabus to Taksim and transfer, or Metro M4 to Ayrılık Çeşmesi, transfer Marmaray to Yenikapı, walk/taxi from there. Private taxi from SAW is easier but more expensive.

By Metro: It is located very close to the Aksaray Metro Station (Line M1) and Yusufpasa Tram Station (Line T1). Direct connection of M1 line to Otogar(Main Bus Terminal).

Tips & Life HacksDo not waste money on a taxi to take you up to Sultanahmet or Eminönü. Just walk for about 3-4 minutes to the Yusufpaşa tram stop. From there, five minutes by tram (T1) will deliver you right in front of the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet stop) and ten minutes more to the Spice Bazaar (Eminönü stop). Cheap, fast, and this way you'll get some views.
