Akgun Istanbul Hotel

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Akgun Istanbul Hotel, and I must say it was a wonderful experience. This five-star hotel may be located a bit far from tourist attractions, but the proximity of the red line metro station made it very easy for me to access all the main attractions. The hotel's janitor, reception desk staff, and bellboy were very friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The hotel's interior is stunning, and everything was clean and useful. My room was spacious with a queen size bed and a small sofa. Even though I arrived two hours earlier than check-in time, the hotel provided me with complimentary tea and coffee while I waited. But the waiting time was only 15 minutes, and it wasn't a problem at all. During my stay, I found that the safe box in my room was locked, and I asked reception for help. The service man was in my room within a couple of minutes and kindly helped me with this problem. While I was out in the city, the hotel surprised me with a complimentary fruit basket, which was lovely. The breakfast was included in my room price, and it was an extremely rich buffet with a big variety of hot and cold meals. It was one of the most delicious breakfasts I've had at a hotel. The raw honey in the frame for honey with honeycomb was one of the most interesting installations. The hotel's upper level bar offers a breathtaking view of Istanbul, and although the swimming pool was closed for the winter, the lobby had many activities, including a barbershop and cafe. I plan to bring my family for reunion in a couple of weeks, and I would love to stay in this hotel for all 20 members of my big family for a week. The hotel's spacious rooms and excellent facilities would be perfect for accommodating my family, and I am sure they would enjoy the hotel's friendly service and delicious breakfast. Overall, the Akgun Istanbul Hotel is an excellent choice for anyone visiting Istanbul.

Overall a positive experience, safe hotel, good location near public transport and enjoyed the hospitality of the hotel. - Check in was smooth with bags taken straight from taxi to rooms - Staff were friendly and happy to help, guest relations at reception for help and WhatsApp communicated to check in - Hotel accommodated our needs to have two rooms next to each other on same floor which was really helpful - Hotel provided complimentary breakfast upgrade which was a nice surprise and had a good variety.

location is great

The hotel is in a good location if you arrive by car. They have a safe underground garage and a metro station is nearby. The breakfast was very good. Mr. Orhun from reception was very kind and helped us with everything. Wellness is good and I had a very good massage from a lady named Desa. Next time we will book the same hotel without a doubt. Taxi in Istanbul is not expensive so for 50 lire you can reach Istiklal street or other tourist areas of the city. Great praise for the people who work at the entrance to the hotel. When we needed a taxi, the younger guy went out on the boulevard and stopped the vehicles to find us a free taxi. The service was 5 stars.

The breakfast was delicious, large selection, everyone found something they liked. The swimming pool was clean and nice. Large nice hotel room, looks like in the pictures. The sky-bar had a roof terrace.
