Akin Suites Istanbul

I stayed at this hotel during my trip to Istanbul and had a wonderful experience. The room was very clean, and comfortable exactly what you need after a day of exploring the city. The location is excellent ; close to key sights, shops, and public transport, which made getting around super easy. The staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. One small suggestion would be to refresh some of the room decor ; perhaps updating the paintings or replacing the TV to give the room a more modern feel. That said, it didn’t affect the overall comfort of the stay.

The hotel doesn’t have parking, and you leave with a street parking for a fee. The hotel entrance is abandoned as well,the room is daily cleaned,roofs are not changed. The elevator makes very bad noise, officially tacouts down your apartment and you wake up from the sleep all the time.

According to the website they had 4 stars. It is more like a 2 star stay. We had rented the DeLuxe Apartment. All the furniture looked bad, was damaged or had missing handles. The apartment itself was also in bad condition. There was supposed to be satellite TV and a DVD player. Only the TV was there but not via satellite and was difficult to turn on. There was supposed to be free breakfast, but when I asked for it we had to pay for it! Bathrobes were also not provided despite this being stated and the cityscape was the flat across the street where the population lives and quite close to our apartment. There was no automatic cleaning or that clean towels were provided. I had to ask for that myself. There were also no bedside tables next to the bed. No minibar, toaster, coffee maker and drying rack despite this being stated. The heating was either on or off, you could not regulate it with a button which is not comfortable for sleeping. In the bedroom there was 1 small curtain, so not suitable for the entire window. That same window was hard to close, only with force because it was stuck. The sleeping pillows of the cheapest kind so inflexible. Absolutely not recommended!
