Will make a reservation with a pickup service if Havas bus does not work out. Any other recommendations beside Backpackers?
I used pubic transportation to get from DT to the airport. It was unbelievably easy. I assume the same applies to the reverse route, from IST to DT hotel.
Take Metro from the airport to Zetinburnu station, walk a short distance to a different platform, transfer to the Tram line, and get off at Laleli-University stop, right in front of the hotel. IIRC, it took about 45 min. total to get from the hotel to the airport. Very easy and inexpensive.
