Istanbul is better enjoyed if you stay in AKKA Suites
Pros: We had a wonderful stay at Akka Suites Taksim in Istanbul. The location is perfect — just a short walk from Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, yet quiet enough to relax after a busy day exploring the city. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of fresh and tasty options to start the day right. Everything was well organized and replenished regularly. What truly made our stay special was the staff. Everyone was extremely kind, professional, and always ready to help. A special thank you to Enis at the reception, who was exceptionally welcoming, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. His friendliness and willingness to assist with any request made us feel truly valued as guests. We were also upgraded in better rooms which we highly appreciate. We highly recommend Akka Suites Taksim and would definitely choose it again on our next visit to Istanbul
Cons: The only small inconvenience was that the breakfast restaurant is located in a nearby building. Since it was raining during our stay, we had to walk a short distance to have breakfast, which was slightly uncomfortable. However, this did not take away from the overall positive experience. Also the entrance in hotel has some steps inside to enter to reception and to the floor where are the lifts but we had help from the hotel staff with our luggage's.

New year in Istanbul
Pros: The location was perfect, just a few meters off of Istiklal street. Breakfast was also great - eggs, fries, vegetables etc. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. The object has a free sauna, which is great. At the check out the reception offered to call us a taxi 👏👏. And not directly related to the hotel there is a local pub called Pera, which is a great addition to the whole Istanbul experience.
Cons: Didn't like the new years celebration party which we were offered at the hotel and for which we paid reservations for. The party was a fiasco to say the least. But it didn't ruin the whole experience.

Pros: Great hotel with super helpful and friendly staff. When we checked in, they helped us arrange a taxi to pick up our luggage from another hotel since we had to leave quickly because of issues at our previous place. Our room was spacious, clean, stylish, and comfy. The mattresses were perfect, breakfasts tasty, and the hotel is in a side street close to the center — a very convenient location. The atmosphere in the hotel was very pleasant. Big thanks to the hotel team! We loved it here, and now we know exactly where to stay next time we’re in Istanbul. Definitely recommend!
Cons: Everything was good

Recommended - great stay.
Pros: Great value hotel . Efficiently run hotel with great bedroom and fantastic breakfast. Recommended. Great location close to Istiklaio Cadessi ( Main Street in Taksim area )
Cons: Nothing really - although checkin was a little over zealous ( cash required for deposit and overloaded with information on hotel when you arrive tired ! ). However everything at hotel was great. Would use again when staying in Istanbul.
