Where the hotel is
Grand Otel Şile is a town hotel on Üsküdar Caddesi in the Hacıkasım neighbourhood, right in the centre of Şile on Istanbul's Black Sea coast. Şile Central Mosque, Şile Square and Democracy Square are all a short walk away, and Şile Castle is only a few minutes' walk further. Kumbaba Park and the beach are a short drive. Değirmen Otel Şile is practically next door, while Marin Otel and Kumbaba Otel are close by.
Book your return transfer together with your arrival. Istanbul traffic on the way from Şile back to Sabiha Gökçen or Istanbul Airport can be heavy, so choose a pickup time that leaves extra room before your flight. Both trips are private, door to door and at a fixed price.
