A good hotel with decent service and a beautiful interior.
There is always a working staff to solve issues, excellent cleaning. Special thanks to the Russian-speaking maid, who leaves comfort in the room after cleaning.
Breakfast is served from 7 to 11 am in the hotel restaurant, a variety of dishes are cooked deliciously, the amount is regularly replenished, so it is comfortable to have breakfast at any time of the interval. There is a roof terrace with tables.
The room is replenished with water, tea, coffee, cream, bath accessories (good quality, not diluted).
Towels and a mat are changed daily, and bed linen is also optional.
A clean, comfortable bathtub. A soft mattress and two sets of pillows per place.
An iron and a board are available on request.
The manager was interested in the satisfaction of the service during the stay.
There is a refundable deposit of $ 100 (refunded upon check-in, the amount is deducted from the bar menu if you used the mini bar)
For suggestions/comments:
The accommodation includes a sauna and a hammam. We were told twice about the need to book a visit time. The recording is only from noon. We adjusted the time, signed up for a specific time. When we came by appointment, we were told that there were other people in the hammam now. As it turned out, the visit is free and not individual. That is, it is a public place where no entry is required at all. We only need an appointment for the spa program, although we have announced several times that we only need a hammam. It seems that all the staff is English-speaking, I did not understand what the problems with the explanation were.
Overall, I recommend a wonderful hotel. On the next trip, we will not experiment and come back here.
We were at the beginning of April, the location of the hotel is excellent! Metro, funicular, Istiklal main street 50 meters away - all shops in one place. You can walk to the Egyptian market, park, promenade, Nisantasi. The hotel has a fresh renovation, daily cleaning, very tasty and varied sunsets on the terrace overlooking Istanbul. Very tasty coffee! The staff is friendly. No one speaks Russian, if you don't know English, the translator app will help. A deposit of 100 USD is charged upon check-in. You can use the hammam for free. The hotel offers excursions, you can take them without fear. The Galata Tower is nearby, but we did not get there, it is under reconstruction. We took a room with no view of the city, the window looked out into the mine, there was little air. There is a problem here, the air conditioner worked only for heat, which caused a lot of inconvenience. It was very hot in the room. But in general, I recommend the hotel!
The hotel is located next to the metro and Taksim Square, as well as Istiklal Street. The hotel itself is beautiful, the staff is pleasant. Cleaning every day, towels were changed every day, bathroom accessories were also added. There is a kettle, tea, and chocolate in the room. Water was brought every day. There is also a snack bar, but we didn't use it. There is a restaurant on the top floor, our breakfasts were included, everything was delicious, the waiters were friendly. There is an outdoor terrace on the roof with a wonderful view of Istanbul. Upon arrival, they took a deposit of $ 100 from us and gave it back after check-out. The staff speaks English. There were three of us, there was one large bed and another single. The air conditioner was working. A friend had a birthday and the staff made a pleasant surprise - a cake with a candle and a box of juice. The cake was very tasty and fresh, not store-bought. We really liked it. Next time I'll stay at the same hotel.
The impressions about the hotel are good. In general, the Taksim area itself is dirty and crowded, but the hotel is worth high praise. The cleaning is good, the breakfasts are delicious, the staff of the restaurant are responsive and polite, I especially want to mention the staff - Kerim and Zeynep from the restaurant, the most polite, thank you very much. Russian-speaking staff is also available. There is a free hammam and sauna. Of the cons: we were with a child, we were given a cot on request - but its condition leaves much to be desired, it's time to change it. And there was a reception employee, he often worked at night, and also saw during the day - a light guy, short - I forgot something and asked again, he answered rudely - said that the first time you were given information, and that I should write it down and not ask anymore) and so, I advise everyone this hotel you will never regret it, believe me, be sure to visit the restaurant - delicious and inexpensive (plus a discount for hotel residents).
The hotel is very nice, well renovated and furnished , clean and cozy. It is pleasant to have breakfast on the top floor of the hotel, especially on the terrace, the variety is not very good, but everything is delicious , good coffee and delicious mini croissants , service is at a good level , room cleaning is also on time and clean. The staff is very polite. The location is also very good. Not far from the famous Estiklal Avenue, where there are many shops such as Zara, H&M, Nike, adidas, mango . And there are also a lot of pretty decent restaurants . There was only one disadvantage of our stay at the hotel. The air conditioner was not working . The temperature regime did not switch to the desired comfortable one . The master came and couldn't fix it, and that's it. They forgot about us , although we called and talked about it at the reception . Our window looked out into the mine , where the wall is completely smooth and there is almost no air . Therefore, this created a certain discomfort for our rest . It was very hot in the room. And everything else is at a very good 4-star level.
I liked the Akka Lush Hotel.
We stayed for 4 days.
It is a 5-minute walk from Istiklal pedestrian street. By the way, this street is full of exchangers where you can exchange rubles for any currency. Very convenient.
There, at the entrance to Istiklal, there is both an entrance to the metro and a bus stop (just to get on the bus, you also need to go down into an underground tunnel separate from the metro).
At the hotel, upon check-in, they ask for a deposit of $ 100, or euros (no difference). The deposit is refunded upon eviction.
The breakfasts are a bit monotonous, but it's fine for 3-5 days of stay. The restaurant is on the top floor (5th floor), there is also a beautiful terrace overlooking Istanbul. It's worth going there.
It takes about 20-25 minutes to walk down the street to the Bosphorus (a steep descent is the best thing for morning jogging with a load).
The rooms are clean, there are slippers and bathrobes (stayed in the Delux room). Soap and a dental kit are also available. There is a hairdryer. The supply of bottled drinking water is replenished every day.
There is also a small balcony in the Delux room with a view of the road, along which taxi drivers and motorcyclists scurry around the clock delivering food.
Overall, it is a very good hotel, the staff is smiling and polite. By the way, a good fruit set (kiwi, tangerine, grapes, pear) was brought to the room upon check-in. It's nice))
I recommend the hotel for a stay of 3-5 days, no more.
A very cool, soulful hotel. In general, I really love the Akka chain. I know that the service is always excellent here
The hotel is located in the immediate vicinity of the Kremlin street, where tourist trams run.
We took a Deluxe room. Huge ceilings. Exit from the balcony to the square
All bathroom amenities are available in the room.
A good breakfast on the roof of the hotel.
By the way, from the roof of the hotel there is just an awesome view of the Bosphorus and the bridge from all the Turkish TV series))
A super hotel with excellent staff. I really liked the waiters, especially named Kadyr, who treated us to delicious Turkish tea on his own, and the girl on the morning shift with a flower clip on the morning shift and the girl on the evening shift who praised my Turkish. There are also very friendly guys at the reception and the cleaners are very kind, despite the fact that their work is not easy.
The hotel itself is very stylish and pleasant, the breakfasts are excellent, the view from the restaurant is quite pleasant! But I didn't like the location of the hotel in reality a little (sooo noisy) and the sound insulation of the rooms is not very good at all. You can hear every step in the room next door and from the hallway when cleaning begins!
Next time, I probably would have chosen a different hotel.
Just an amazing hotel with a mega convenient location! We are very glad that we chose this area and this hotel for our stay. Modern elegant renovation, high ceilings are a rarity for Istanbul hotels in this price segment (I came to this conclusion after reviewing hundreds of options). Delicious breakfasts, a magnificent terrace. A birthday compliment from the hotel is wine and a delicious dessert. The cleaning is excellent, the bathroom is clean and the plumbing is good. We took a Superior room with a double bed. I recommend it for sure 👍🏻
A wonderful hotel, the rooms are small, but cozy, clean! Everything you need in the room, iron on request
The hotel is located next to Taksim Square, near the metro, many attractions within walking distance 🫶🏻
The staff is friendly, they don't speak Russian, they speak English well.
A wonderful hotel, the breakfasts are delicious, varied, and the rooms are clean, there are cups. Coffee, tea, and water were replenished. linen is constantly changed, the staff is polite, ready to help, pleasant people at the reception, if something is not clear, then they communicate with the help of an interpreter,
Very tasty breakfasts! Great location! Everything is clean, cleaned every day. Fresh renovation! I really liked the fragrant scrub soap:)
The sink drain was broken a little, the water did not go well.
There is no Russian-speaking staff. Basic knowledge of English will not be superfluous, but even without them it will be possible to get out, since everyone is very responsive!
We had a room with windows to the courtyard where the restaurant is located. It will be noisy until very late at night on the weekend. But we walked around Istanbul so much that we were able to fall asleep anyway and this fact did not affect our vacation in any way.
A great experience of staying, the hotel was chosen by chance and, as often happens, chance turned out to be with us. It was possible to notice only the advantages:
1. Excellent location, 3 minutes from Istiklal, but at the same time the noise did not bother, just in case earplugs, because it would not hurt.
- beautiful restrained interiors, the combination of graphite dark wood and white marble pleases the eye, I also really want to note the interesting and memorable scent of the fragrance in the lobby
- the rooms themselves are quite spacious, high ceilings, large windows.
- comfortable beds, good pillows and high-quality bed linen
The most important impression of punching is the amazing service. All the staff speaks good English, are very responsive, helpful and attentive.
We really enjoyed our stay, we really want to come back again and on our next visit to Istanbul, the choice of the hotel is obvious
The hotel left a very pleasant impression) I would love to return) pleasant staff, good service, polite reception staff, maids are also very nice. The girl at the reception is Russian, very nice and hospitable) on her birthday they gave a cake, wine and fruit) the cake was so big that we ate for two days 😅 a beautiful terrace upstairs where breakfast is served, we also fed seagulls from it and took funny photos) I am a travel agent myself, I have already been to many hotels, but I love the Akka chain dearly for its hospitality) I recommend everyone to visit Istanbul and this hotel) subscribe andaman.travel
A great hotel! Breakfast on the veranda, high ceilings, snow-white bed linen, balcony, awesome location. There is one disadvantage — you don't want to leave it! And it is necessary to walk) we were delighted with this place 😋
This is a great hotel! The location is great- everything is nearby! Great people at the reception, the room is spacious, large, everything is clean, comfortable, the breakfasts are quite delicious!)
The location is perfect. Shops, any kind of food, cafes just flow around. The European Quarter. The hotel is perfectly clean, breakfast on the terrace, good coffee. Metro ~ 3 minutes
Nice hotel! The location itself is in a strategically necessary area - within walking distance of Taksim Square (metro, bus, tram), and Istiklal pedestrian street. The hotel has stable Wi-Fi , food - breakfast was taken, excellent. The hotel manager offered lunches and dinners with a 20% discount, an iron on request. Towels are replaced daily. We recommend it!
We had a rest in March. The staff was promised to be Russian-speaking, but alas. We communicated through an online translator. We moved into a room where the air conditioning is powered by central heating and there is not a single window. There was a plus 35 in the room. It was unbearable. We decided to change the room for a very long time around 3 o'clock.They presented that all rooms of the standard category are occupied. For a separate surcharge, they can only check into a superior room. As an apology, they brought a plate of fruits from breakfast. The impressions of the hotel were ruined.
A wonderful hotel. Gorgeous view of the sea. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner. Very good. The location is convenient. The room may be too small (please note when booking)
I really liked the hotel! It's a little noisy from the street, but this is Istanbul, that's the beauty of it.The cleanly cozy high ceilings in the room are more than 4 meters, because of this there is no feeling of compression, the room itself is not large, since the hotel is located in an old building
The historic building was built in 1850, high ceilings, stylish interior, excellent service and breakfasts with access to the terrace. A big plus of the hotel is the presence of a hammam included in the price and proximity to Istiklal Street
A great hotel, the rooms are very clean and in decent condition. Delicious breakfasts on the roof of the hotel. Location near Taksim Square. The most pedestrian street is nearby.
It's good for this place. Clean, the room is spacious, there is a minibar, towels are changed every day. The breakfast is modest, but delicious, you will not stay hungry. Maybe it will be too expensive for someone.
Thanks to the hotel for the hospitality.
Of the disadvantages, they planted on the 1st floor with a balcony, in Russian this is the second floor, but still, it's too low, they couldn't change it.
The balconies are beautiful,
The breakfasts are amazing, everything you needed.
We ordered extra orange juice, we did it well 2 times, the third one is pulp, it is impossible to drink.
The location is perfect, the area is pleasant.
We walked to another hotel where we wanted to take a room, realized that we were not mistaken, the aura of our hotel is much better) They also gave a cake and wine for his birthday, and on March 8 they warned in advance in a letter that the entire square would be closed. Z-Care!)
You can stop, but some little things spoil the overall picture: breakfast behind glass, an uncomfortable mattress, a buzzing refrigerator, a table in the lobby that blocks the passage and no hammam at all. No paintings, no flowers at the entrance.
The staff is friendly and helpful. Many thanks to Valeria, who brightens up and eliminates inconveniences on request. Helps and orients tourists .
Good location of the hotel
Many of Istanbul's attractions can be reached on foot
This hotel has wonderful breakfasts, on the top floor there is a restaurant with a beautiful view and sunrise - a beautiful and delicious start to the day😊
The hotel pulls for 3 , very poor breakfasts, rooms are small narrow corridors like catacombs, we rested on May holidays, roads are blocked, demonstration, the only plus Istiklal street nearby
Lovely hotel. Excellent panoramic view during breakfast and dinner at almost 270 degrees of view. Excellent Russian-speaking administrator - very attentive to guests. Good cuisine. Lovely rooms. Located 400m from Taksim Square, convenient location and quiet location. I will definitely come to it again.
A good location. Istiklal street is nearby! And from the veranda at night you can enjoy a view of the bridge over the Bosphorus. The breakfast is of the same type
Very convenient location for active tourists! There are many attractions within walking distance.
Good and delicious breakfasts.
The rooms are without chic, but clean and cozy!

We were from March 8 to March 13.The breakfasts are good, several types of omelets, sausage, cheeses, tea, coffee, pastries.The only nuance in a room without a window is impossible to check. And the air conditioner worked only for heating.And Turks work at the reception desk with whom you can talk through an interpreter.And the location of the hotel is very convenient.And Istiklal is nearby and the metro
Привет , или как здесь говорят мэрхаба ! Вот к сожалению и окончилось наше недельное пребывание в прекрасном отеле Akka Lush в прекрасном Стамбуле . Как всегда это была насыщенная событиями и приключениями поездка ! Это не первая наша поездка в прекрасный город Стамбул , который снова и снова предстаёт в новом не менее прекрасном для нас виде )) В этот раз мы впитывали энергию этого города в новом для нас месте - отеле сети Akka в энергетическом месте . Отель расположен практически на площади Таксим . Место и район который кажется совсем не спит )) Место откуда все походы и прогулки в любую сторону ведут к новым ощущениям и колоритным местам )) Эта неделя оказалась очень насыщенной , кажется ноги стали на размер больше , но это ощущается только по возвращению домой )) Прекрасный отель , замечательное обслуживание и прекрасный персонал . Нам повезло ! В этом отеле работает замечательная и отзывчивая девушке Валерия . Для меня как для старого лентяя её помощь оказалась просто не заменима ! Она не только выполняет свои рабочие обязанности как сотрудник , но и и в любое время дня или ночи готова ответить на все поставленные вопросы , организовать поездку , разобраться с трансфером , подсказать таксистам и просто рассказать о ближайших магазинах и достопримечательных местах . Спасибо Вам Валерия огромное . Желаю вам и вашему отелю всего самого прекрасного и наилучшего .!! Обязательно буду рекомендовать вас всем знакомым и друзьям ! С огромным уважением- гости вашего отеля -Владимир , Лариса и Нелли Кандаловы !!
2 раза останавливались в этом отеле, 1 раз на Новый год, а второй раз в апреле, очень чистые номера, хороший клининг, есть завтраки на последнем этаже с террасой, откуда открывается вид на половину Стамбула. Огромный плюс- это высокие потолки, отелей с такими потолками в Стамбуле очень мало, светлый номер с большими окнами. Единственное, что не очень продуманно - это шкафы, в остальном, рекомендую !!!
Отдыхали в этом отеле в конце апреля 2023 года в этом отеле. Хотим отметить очень дружелюбный и отзывчивый персонал отеля, а особенно менеджера Валерию, которая отзывалась на каждый наш вопрос, помогала, рассказывала, как пройти к историческим местам, как найти то или иное место. Атмосфера в отеле благодаря ей и другим членам команды отеля была очень душевная и домашняя. Мы очень рекомендуем , если кто будет в Стамбуле остановиться в этом отеле
Watch out for the disco!!!!! In the building opposite, there is a disco on the roof on Friday from 22.00 to 00.00 Saturday from 10.00 to 3.30.
Sunday from 10.00 to 1.30.
Music for an amateur in the hotel chandelier is very loud.
The hotel is clean and inexpensive, in the center, breakfasts for 3, but you can eat.
Good luck...
Отель находится недалеко от площади Таксим. Ресторан расположен на крыше отеля с хорошим видом. Номер мне достался довольно большой с балконом, но за доплату. Рядом находится пешеходная улица со всеми магазинами очень удобно.
Дружелюбный персонал, помогут в любой ситуации, стильный интерьер. Удобное расположение к туристическим местам. Рядом ходит трамвай и станция метро Таксим. Через дорогу Макдоналдс и Старбакс.
Все бы хорошо..но! За окном ночью бар, танцы и песни..спать не будете до 2х ночи))
Завтрак - за стеклом, нужно показать чего и сколько тебе нужно..за тобой может стоять очередь , это не удобно( и персонал тоже косит глазом-" как, вам ещё одну клубнику положить!?"
Расположение отеля хорошее..
Через 2 дня переехали в отель этой же серии но 3 * )) спали и ели спокойно !
