I’d highly like to recommend Hotel Akçinar! It’s located just a few steps away from the port and surrounded by many restaurants and shops.It’s also very close to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque & park.The room is cleaned every day,WiFi works well and breakfast is served daily.The atmosphere is nice,I got this “home away from home” feeling.I’ll definitely choose Hotel Akçinar again when I return to Istanbul.

I had stayed at Hotel Akcinar last year and this year. The service is fantastic and the team are very friendly and generous to everyone. I could not be happier with the way they make you feel welcome. It isnt a five star hotel but I rather have Hotel Akcinar everytime I plan to come to İstanbul, it's in the smack middle of everything you need, shops, transport, restaurants,historical places and many more all around the hotel.

This was our third time in Istanbul and during first two stays we stayed at the Beyazit area, but this time we decided to give Sirkeci and hotel Akçinar a try, and we definitely didn’t regret it! Firstly, we got a room on the third floor which was quite nice but we wanted a room on a higher floor, and after we asked hotel manager he gave us the most comfortable room on the fifth floor, which had an amazing view of the main Sirkeci street. All the other staff members were very polite as well and helped us whenever we needed it. Moreover, we were amazed by the terrace on the top of the hotel which overlooks the beautiful Bosphorus, 15 Temmuz bridge and Galata tower. Breakfast was good and staff always refilled plates so you won’t stay hungry even if you come at the end of the breakfast time. Also, Turkish tea was free throughout the day. One small detail we appreciated was the Qibla direction sticker, which makes this hotel perfect for Muslim families. The metro and tramway stations are really close, both less than 100 meters away. All in all, this was our best stay in Istanbul so far.

We had to change accommodation on such short notice in the middle of the night and they took us right in, they were extremely kind and hospitable and the room was perfect and clean, breakfast included in the price as well. They helped us book an airport shuttle as well to pick us up right outside. Location is convenient, plenty of shops and restaurants close by. Within walking distance from Aya sofiya and Blue mosque. Could not have asked for a better service.

I booked 2 rooms for 6 persons which 1 room for 5 persons and another 1 room for 1 person. That 1 room for 1 person have double bed. I paid for 1 person’s price since i booked at agoda and agoda give us that price. The receptionist mad at us and said we need to pay for 2 person since the room have double bed (for 2 person). Also, we accidently broke the bed (that’s our fault) and the receptionist ask for money. We thought the money go to the hotel’s account bank but the receptionist take the money for himself. One of the receptionist very rude to us. We explained everything but still mad at us. The hotel have water dispenser for the guests but that receptionist didn’t let us take the water. I really sad for the service from that receptionist. Overall about hotel is good but that one receptionist very rude to us.
