The hotel and its location
Elite World Istanbul Taksim is a city hotel on İnönü Caddesi in Aydınevler, a neighbourhood of Maltepe on Istanbul's Asian side. The Fikret Otyam Museum, the Küçükyalı Archaeological Park and the Bostancı Ferry Pier are all a short drive away, as is the Kozzy Shopping Center. Hotels nearby include Dedeman Bostancı Hotel & Convention Center, Anka Hotel and The Bostancı Hotel.
If your flight home leaves from Istanbul Airport, the road from Maltepe crosses one of the Bosphorus bridges, and Istanbul traffic can be heavy, so allow extra time when you book the return transfer and choose an earlier pick-up. Flying from Sabiha Gökçen instead? Both airport prices are listed on this page, so you can compare them before booking.
