The hotel and its location
Elite Hotel Dragos is a city hotel in the Yalı neighbourhood of Maltepe, on the Dragos side of the district on Istanbul's Asian shore. The Dragos seaside, Maltepe Ferry Pier and Maltepe Republic Square are a short drive away, with Süreyyapaşa Bazaar and the Istanbul Anatolian Courthouse also close by. Neighbouring hotels include Cevahir Hotel Asia, a few minutes' walk away, as well as Nest Suit Hotel and Maltepe Grant Otel.
If your return flight leaves from Istanbul Airport, the route crosses one of the Bosphorus bridges, and Istanbul's heavy traffic can stretch the journey at busy hours. Allow extra time when you set your pick-up. Even towards Sabiha Gökçen, it is worth building in a margin for evening traffic on the main roads.
