Where the hotel is
Anka Hotel is a city hotel on Akgüvercin Sokağı in the İdealtepe part of Maltepe, on Istanbul's Asian side. The Küçükyalı Archaeological Park and Altayçeşme Park are a few minutes' walk away, while the Fikret Otyam Museum, Süreyyapaşa Bazaar and Bostancı Ferry Pier are a short drive. Other hotels nearby include Dream Hill Business Deluxe Hotel Asia, Elite Hotel and MaCity Otel.
Because the hotel is on the Asian side, a transfer from Istanbul Airport crosses one of the Bosphorus bridges, whereas the route from Sabiha Gökçen stays on the same side of the city. Both airport prices are shown on this page, so it is worth keeping this difference in mind when you compare flights and choose where to land.
