Hotels near اكباش Akbaş, Istanbul

I stayed here in February 2020 for 4 nights together with a friend. The staff is very friendly and the hotel is very clean. The hotel is only a 10 minute walk away from the nearest sightseeing places located in the historic part of the city. Even nearer to the hotel there are groceryshops, bars, parks and restaurants. Keeping in mind the little money you pay for your stay, you can't really complain. Eventhough, I'd like to see some changes. Since the bathroom is really small, the whole bathroom actually is the shower. Everything gets wet, so there's not really a good place to leave your towel and cloths which you obviously want to keep dry. Maybe a few hooks or hanging baskets will be a good addition. There was 1 hook though, but it was very small and broken. (see picture of toilet, there a small cabinet next so the width is about 1,20 M en the same goes for the depth. The shower is on the right wall, infront of the cabinet) It also takes a very long time for the bathroom to dry. The water isn't stopped bij a small shower edge or something and theres nothing to wipe the water with, which left us with only one option: Shower in the evenings and leave the window in the bathroom open so it will be dry by the time it's morning. Not idealic at all, considering we where staying here during the winter. Also we had to share a socket during the night to charge our phones. It would be great if there were more of them. These are all small 'complaints' so it's not too bad. Especially for the money you pay. There's one thing left I'd like to warn you for: the sounds. The hotel is very noisy. You can hear other people very well and unfortunatly we had some people staying in the hotel that didn't take this into account. Because of the noisyness, you'll also be able to hear the mosques very loudly in the early mornings, so if you don't want to, bring some earplugs. Despite of the few negatives, I myself would stay here again and so would recommend this hotel if you are looking for a cheap hotel near the old city centre.

I stayed for 3 nights.It was overall very good.The staff name Mustafa is very nice.All other staffs are nice as well.Didn't have any problems.Very was easy to contact the lobby staff through WhatsApp.The breakfast is also suitable for vegans/vegetarians.Recommended for Solo comers.There is also a co-working place a d rooftop.Good for it's price 👍

The staff were very helpful particularly Ahmed ( Duty Manager Reception) and Beliz ( Guests Relations) and Katia ( Gym). The hotel was opened just 18 days when we arrived. There were a couple of “snagging’ issues, which were dealt with really quickly. The vegan buffet breakfast is the best I have ever eaten. I have a the few recipes and ideas for when I get home. Thanks Muhammad for the marinated tofu recipe. The gym is also very well equipped. Lots of cardio machines, weights including 20kg Olympic bars with various sized plates (15,20kg), 5 different boxing bags. There is also a class timetable and Stand Up Paddle Boarding. The gym staff are AMAZING; really know their stuff. The location is fantastic. Only a ten minute bus ride into the old time. We had a fab time.

To begin with, now this hotel is called DNZ TAXIM FERİDİYE HoTEL. I booked a stay for three nights through booking in a deluxe room. Upon arrival, we were given a different room that did not match the description and photo when booking. We returned to the administrator with an attempt to explain that the number was clearly different. He looked for our reservation for a long time, found it, and eventually gave us another room. It was larger and similar in size to the one in the photo, but it did not match in appearance. We were told that there were no other rooms available. In the end, I had to stay in this room. Then we began to examine it in more detail and were in a slight shock. The point was the condition of the room itself: the door trims were broken off, the walls were all chipped to the ground, the sink was loose, the shower hose was frayed, the faucet that was kept on parole. The faucet and fan just stuck out of the wall, everything above the doorway in the bathroom was smeared with cement without any kind of decoration (everything is in the photo). Towels are dirty, with lipstick residue and holes. Bed linen was also in question. The price included breakfast, which again turned out to be not the same as in the photo on bo***********A photo of breakfast is also attached to the review. The main thing there is half a loaf. Arabs work at the front desk, who know a couple of words in English, that is, it is extremely difficult to communicate with them. And finally, the cherry on the cake. We decided that we could not stand here for three nights and leave after two nights. As a result, the administrators canceled our reservation when we checked out, and sent information to booking that we supposedly did not check in. In general, they simply deceive people! I do not recommend this hotel to anyone!

I have booked at Pera orient hotel because it offers what I want from an hotel during my travels and the feedbacks were in its favor. Just after my booking was done I stumble on a negative review that was posted on trip advisor. I was worried about my choice. But when I went to Istanbul and stayed there, I felt compelled to share my own experience, which was entirely different and absolutely fantastic! I believe it's essential to give credit where credit is due. First of all , if you are seeking a resort , Pera Orient is not a resort and it never claims to be one! My stay at Pera Orient was comfortable and pleasant. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the friendly and attentive staff, who made their best to help me in every possible way and to answer my queries during my 5-day long stay. Their warm smiles and genuine willingness to assist truly set the tone for my stay. The location of the hotel is ideal. A 6 min walk from the hotel takes you to Taksim square where you can take the Metro or bus to reach your desired destination. And it allowed me to make regular daily walks on istikal street . The street is a little narrow yes, but there are plenty of hotels all around that I have never felt scared or unsafe ( as it was mentioned in the negative review). And I always took the upward direction then turn right towards taksim. I was greeted by a spotless clean room with a tasteful decor. The bed was incredibly comfortable, The housekeeping staff was attentive and meticulous, making sure that my room was impeccably cleaned each day. Coffee and tea were left daily next to the kettle (sometimes with a bottle of water). When I will visit Istanbul again , I will definitely chose Pera Orient to stay in.

When we arrived the hotel, we open the room it was not cleaned and there was a butterfly on the curtain. The furniture inside the room is very old and also the pillows too . The toilet was not very much good until we asked the housekeeping to change. We spent the day we arrive at the hotel waiting for changing and cleaning the place. Next day we spoke to the front desk manager Nada snd she was very kind and she helped us to sort out most of the problems. But the hotel is old and needs a real renovation. Cleanliness 6/10 Breakfast 8/10

Airport to the hostel: if you arrive at Istanbul Airport ”IST”. You are just a bus 🚍 ride away, no ” Uber 📱🚖 or any other taxi needed”. In July 2023. It only costed me a 139 Turkish Lira to reach the Taksim Square. Location: From Taksim Square the hostel is about 10 minutes walking 🚶👣🚶 distance. When we arrived the gentleman ”Seyf” who welcomed us at the reception was too kind to offer us locker area to keep our luggage and invited us for breakfast as a complimentary one 🙂 Gamze - she is equally adorable and super helpful staff there. I don't recall all the names but I was impressed with every single wabi sabi team's hospitality, politeness and never to forget smile 😊 The morning breakfast is good and perfect for us to interact with other fellow travellers on the roof top. The talk during breakfast helped us ot to plan our day in Istanbul. I highly recommend.

The location, service, cleanliness, and facilities were all perfect. The price was also cheap, so I would like to visit this hotel again. In particular, I felt that the interior of the room was really clean. I recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Istanbul Asia.

I had jacuzzi problems every time I stayed in the last three rooms, but I never used them. The last time, the jacuzzi stayed not, the same salary was paid again. They could download the standard charge this time, but we wanted it to be done the next day. I was kicked out and called out from outside and even received his confirmation. Otherwise, another room block was done. We returned to the hotel and we saw the jacuzzi still not sticking. And there is no other room. Price performance is terrible. He did not meet any expectations. The only good thing is the worker. But job tracking and job finishing is zero. Review your technical team.
