Where the hotel is
Loka Suites offers apartment-style suites on Serasker Street in the Caferağa neighbourhood of Kadıköy, on Istanbul's Asian side. Altıyol Square is a short walk away, and the Kadıköy ferry pier, the sea bus terminal, Moda Street and Yoğurtçu Park can all be reached in a few minutes on foot. Moda Seaside Park is a short drive away. Nearby places to stay include Masal Suite, Piart Boutique Otel and Miesha Ottoman Palace.
Apartment stays often suit families and groups of friends travelling together. If there are several of you, choose a larger vehicle when booking: each option is listed with its passenger and luggage capacity, so everyone and every suitcase travels together in one car from the airport straight to the door.
