İBB's tariff says TRY 420; Havaist charges TRY 470. If you are charged 470, that is the operator's price, not the tariff's — both figures are shown here so you know which to expect.

The slowest Havaist line into town: 110 minutes on the operator's own timetable, against 90 to Taksim.

Nothing between 23:45 and 05:00. At night the Havaist Aksaray coach, four T1 tram stops away, runs through — but the tram stops at midnight too.

It stops at Eminönü and Şişhane on the way, which may be nearer your hotel than Çatladıkapı.
