The staff is really nice and made us feel very comfortable. Turkish hospitality at its best. This hotel is in the vicinity of Sultan Ahmet area, so you can cover 80% of your museum visits by a quick walking distance. As a muslim traveler, I really liked that fact that the Mosques were at a walking distance, so my husband could observe his prayers in the mosque.

The staff were very helpful. They were willing and tried to make our stay comfortable as possible. Location. Really close to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Lot's shopping and food available nearby. Tram is within less than 5 minute walk. The breakfast could be better.

Absolutely brilliant location- literally 5 mins from major sightseeing/tram and bus station. Superb friendly and welcoming staff who couldn't do enough to help and advise on places to go and what to see. Stayed in a family room which was a great size and spotlessly clean- would recommend this hotel as a fabulous base to explore and see the sights. Child friendly and the complimentary tea/coffee/pastries in the lobby were a welcome sight at the end of a long day. We thought the range of breakfast options was not as extensive as other 4 star hotels we've stayed in but there was enough choice so that no-one went hungry.

The hotel is located in sultan Ahmed every thing is closed by but the hotel is dirty and the service is not good. Of you are an Arabic Muslim culture I don't recommend this hotel to you at all. Don't waste your money because of the location as walking to the famuse area is a must

We cannot fault this lovely hotel. A group of friends met us there to help me celebrate my 60th birthday, the staff were amazing. We were greeted with smiles every time we walked through the hotel doors, nothing was too much trouble for them....they even had a birthday cake for me..We will almost certainly return to the Acra Hotel later this year. We cannot imagine staying anywhere else in Istanbul after staying at this hotel.

We have stayed at Hotels in Istanbul 4 times now and this was certainly the best. The staff couldn't do enough for you, they were able to advise and help plan trips. They sorted out our transfers from and to the airport with no problems. The Turkish breakfast was plentyful and was constantly topped up as the morning went on. The Reception Staff and Oslem in the office were among the nicest people we hav ever meet. 100% to this Hotel well done hotel acra

The staff and the front desk are very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect and near from historical places. The service was nice, they offer you prepared cakes and pastries with tea or coffee in the lounge area every afternoon. I really enjoyed staying in the hotel. Breakfast Buffet is ok but I expect it would be more variety. I stayed in ground floor, the room walls were paper thin and I could hear the people next to me talking.

The location was perfect; near all historical sites and very nice area where there were lots of shops and restaurants. The hotel was clean and well furnished. We loved the carpets and the decor. Staff was very helpful and available to give recommendations. There was a little problem with the smell of drainage at the bathroom. I think we could have asked to change the room, but we were already unpacked and we left the windows open whenever possible. I guess also the price was a bit high, as all our friends who stayed in similar hotels in the same area and at the same time period paid a lot less. We loved the hotel in any case and we would stay there again.

One of the main reasons we chose the Acra was the availability of family suites, which many hotels do not offer. Location near Hagia Sophia in the Old City is invaluable. Room was very clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Istanbul.

I liked everything about the hotel and can't think of anything I would complain about. The staff were friendly and helpful and made you feel very welcome. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the rooms were really comfortable and welcoming. The location was great and within walking distance of all the sites.

We stayed for four days at the Acra Hotel. We four friends enjoyed the stay in the hotel very much. It’s so convenient to reach the old part of Istanbul. Even it’s not far to reach the train station and the new part of Istanbul. We did it most without any bus and taxi. To stay in the hotel with the good breakfast in the morning after a good sleep is great. The rooms are very clean und so quiet during the night. Even the Muezzin we couldn’t hear in the early morning. Certainly we will stay again for a trip to Istanbul. It’s worth. If you arrive at the European airport the transfer is short, but also from the Asian side you can manage it. Renate und Wolfgang with friends

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was wonderful. The rooms were clean and nice. We loved the afternoon tea in the lobby with fresh pastries. And any time we were sitting around they brought us apple tea. Very nice experience. Highly recommend. Everything was fantastic. The coffee was not so great, but okay.

Friendly, polite and attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble. An excellent location for the major sites in Istanbul. The hotel could get a bit noisy as there is a lot of marble, wood and tiled floors. You are aware of people in the next door and upstairs rooms.
