Best place I've stayed in before now due to rooms and people. Liked my rooms with view to schools in the backyard.

The hotel itself was a bit old, nonetheless the breakfast was delicious and the staff were courteous. The fact that Topkapi - Ulubatli subway station was some 10 minutes away was a plus.

    The staff at the hotel provided exceptional customer service, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. However, the breakfast options were limited and the room could benefit from better soundproofing and air conditioning control. the hotel's convenient location near a metro station was a definite plus, making it easy to explore Istanbul.

    akgun hotel provided a fabulous stay experience with a large, clean, well-equipped room featuring a wide and comfortable bed. the friendly staff, including the reception and restaurant teams, went above and beyond to ensure a perfect stay. the location is ideal, close to the Grand Bazaar and with a metro station just 15 meters away. Free amenities such as WiFi, fruit basket, and a charming complimentary magnet upon checkout added to the overall enjoyable experience.

    Nothing not too like 🙁

    The puddings at Akgun were simply divine, like a sweet symphony in my mouth! Staff courtesy and central location near metro added to the charm. Plus, the late checkout was a cherry on top!

    While the Internet held up for work, sipping coffee with constant drops during video calls felt like foamy frustration. A stronger brew in the connection would sweeten the stay.

    I was amazed by how easy it was to explore the city from here. The Istanbul metro and bus stations provided convenient access to all the key spots like shopping centres, museums, and the convention centre. The hotel itself had everything I needed, from delicious meals at the restaurant to a relaxing day at the spa. And the best part? A quick walk brought me face to face with iconic landmarks like the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. A truly historic and convenient getaway for any architecture buff like me. Oh, and the pool bar definitely became my favorite spot for a drink!

    The hotel's timeless elegance and classic decor exuded a sense of warmth and comfort, making it ideal for seniors like myself. The well-maintained general areas and thoughtful design catered to the needs of older guests, providing a sense of ease and accessibility during my stay.

    I would only wish for improved accessibility features for seniors, such as handrails in certain areas, to further enhance the experience for older guests.

    We had a real good stay in a long time. The hotel was impeccably clean and relaxing, had delightful views of the property which is very huge and spectacular. We liked the location just next door to Istanbul and the Old city walls and a main boulevard, it was central.

    The gift shop had the coolest souvenirs, and the tour desk hooked us up with all the deets on the local attractions. Plus, they even helped us score a sick ride for cruising around the city.

    Just one thing - it would've been epic to have a more happening vibe at the rooftop lounge for us young, party-loving peeps.

    The hotel staff are incredibly friendly, prompt and helpful, especially Ahmet and the attendants who always assisted us with taxis. the breakfast is truly outstanding, with a diverse selection and central location that made it easy for every taxi driver to find. the room service is top-notch, making our stay amazing.

    One thing that could be improved is the slow wifi in the rooms, which caused inconvenience. the air conditioning, although central, could work better.

    During my recent business trip to Istanbul, my director chose Akgun Hotel for our stay, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The gymnasium was well-equipped and allowed me to keep up with my fitness routine even while traveling. The traditional Turkish bath was a luxurious experience, providing a much-needed relaxation after a long day of meetings. Additionally, the sauna and massage saloon were top-notch, and I left feeling rejuvenated and energized. The onsite spa, RENASPA, offered a range of indulgent treatments, including aromatherapy, facials.

    No help with luggage.

    I chose this hotel for attending a conclave and I was pleased with the 24-hour room service and business center facilities. The outdoor swimming pool provided a perfect way to unwind after a long day, and the shopping center was convenient for my general needs.

    I did miss having a dedicated conference room for my work meetings.

    Oh, how I loved the idea of exploring the city and its historical sites all day, instead of enjoying evening entertainment or an indoor swimming pool at the hotel. What a pity!

    As a disabled guest, I appreciated the hotel's accessibility features and accommodations. The staff were extremely helpful and professional, ensuring that my check-in process was quick and efficient. The room was spacious and equipped with all the necessary facilities. The hotel also offered free WiFi and a business center, which were convenient for my needs. The complimentary homemade cookies in the room were a delightful touch. I had a pleasant and comfortable stay at the Akgun Istanbul Hotel.

    I felt extremely safe during my stay and had no complaints whatsoever.

    Exclusive amenities made us feel pampered and luxurious. the service was impeccable and attentive. the Spa & Wellness centre had everything we needed from a sauna to a Turkish Bath. We enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool and the sun loungers on the sun terrace. the restaurant served delicious halal food and the poolside snack bar was a great feature.

    Though it was a minor issue, we did experience some difficulty with the makeup services. the treatment provided didn't meet our expectations and we were left feeling unsatisfied.

    Everything was perfect. The staff was extremely polite and cooperative, especially Fatima in housekeeping. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the location was convenient yet peaceful. The hotel's amenities like the sauna, swimming pool, and spa lounge added to the relaxation. Exploring nearby landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia deepened our family bonding experience.

    The room at Akgün Istanbul Hotel was amazing. The 24-hour room service and super comfy bedding made it feel like a home away from home. Plus, the separate living room and flat-screen TV in the suite were perfect for winding down after a busy day of exploring the city.

    The only thing I liked less was the jalousie bathrooms. It's a personal preference, but some might find them unique.

    This hotel boasts an unbeatable location next to the metro station, allowing for easy access to all parts of the city. It is perfectly situated close to the main attractions and in the center of everything. the rooms are spacious, clean, and well-decorated with comfortable beds. The breakfast is delicious, with a variety of options to please everyone.

    Some guests mentioned that the pool was only open until 6 pm, leaving little time for evening swimming.

    The location of the hotel was convenient, with easy access to public transport and a nearby shopping mall. the in, house hamam/spa was a great experience, offering a variety of services at reasonable prices. the buffet breakfast had a good selection of options, including cheeses, cured meats, and fresh juices.

    The hotel's cleanliness standards could have been better, with housekeeping needing improvement. the service at the hotel, in general, was slow and poor, with staff being forgetful and some restaurant staff being rude.

    The customer care at this spot is top-notch - the friendly receptionist staff and helpful porters gave me the warmest welcome. The spa experience here was simply fantastic; their massage made my trip super relaxing, and the hammam treatment was a new and enjoyable experience guided by the attentive staff. The only hiccup was the thin walls in the room, which allowed noise to travel, but it didn't spoil the overall delightful stay. 🌟

    A charming feature of the hotel is the picturesque sun terrace. I had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful afternoon while indulging in a culinary adventure. The terrace offered a stunning view, making it the perfect spot to savor regional Turkish dishes and international cuisine. The experience was akin to unwrapping a gift from the city itself.
