Acra Hotel-Special Category  

Hotel is very clean, stuff are very friendly and respectfull.

The hotel had old world charm, though new itself, and its service was personalized and helpful. We would highly recommend it. Its location for the traditional sites of Istanbul was particularly useful and food and memento shopping was near at hand.

Our whole experience at the Acra was very positive and I would certainly recommend the hotel to others visiting the city.

The only suggestion I would make relates to the daily change of towels. I think a lot of travelers are happy to use towels more than once, so I`m happy when hotels give you the option to hang up your towel (no change) or leave it on the floor or in the tub (change). It`s a lot better for the environment.

The staff is very polite, respectful and friendly, helping with advices on what to visit and where to eat. The location (in the heart of the old city) is also great being close to the St. Sophia Cathedral, the Blue Mosque and Topcapi Palace. Another brilliant thing is that they offer tea and pastry all day long in the lobby.

Being located in a very busy area, I would have appreciated a better noise isolation of the room.

Friendly Staff

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.

Amazing Hotel, very cooperative staff. Thanks to all of them.

We sayed at acra for a week. With this been our first trip to Istanbul we didnt know what to expect. We were impressed from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. We were warmly greeted and assisted to our room, by friendly, courtious and professional staff. Lale and all the staff on all levels were absolutely fabulous. Nothing we needed or asked was too much to ask for, from arranging our daily tours, which by the way were fantastic experiences and great value for money Eg the Bosphorus Cruise, the Gallipoli Tour, The Orient Dinner to the Tour of the Alsofya Mosque to basic needs such as adapters for our mobiles. Breakfast was generous and fresh as well beautifully presented also a great variety was always available. The complimentary daily afternoon tea was so delicious we couldnt get enough and really looked forward to it. Location is also perfect, close to everything. Cant wait to go back. We miss the place and the lovely people.

Location - steps from evewrything but on quiet street. Historic building, breakfast hall is like underground, some columns and ancient walls restored. Very clean and comfortable, a rear thing in Sultanahmet if less then 5 stars.

The hotel is in a great location- 2 minutes walk from Sultanahmet mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi museum. The staff is very kind and helpful and the rooms are quite large (superior double bed room). I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting istanbul for sightseeing purpose.

I liked the help we got from staff. We left a PSP in a bus and one of the hotel staff (Masut) brought it to us at no charge which was very helpful. The neiborhood is quiet and convenient.

Breakfast could be more varied. Also, there is no terriace with a nice view like some other hotels.
