I recently stayed at Akgun Istanbul Hotel and booked it based upon Expedia profille.this is NOT a 5 star hotel, might be a 3.5 star hotel on a sunny day. The bathroom has a sign telling you that the water is not drinkable. To brush your teeth, you have to use bottled water which they charge you for. Half of... More

I do not understand how this is a five star hotel. I have stayed here with my family and thought this was going to be a nice place to stay. They say they have a gym, the treadmill - elliptical and bike machine do not work. They have a bench without weights? The rooms are far from what you expect,... More

I recently visited Istanbul and Radisson (where I generally stay) happened to be full and so was hotels like WOW and Renaissance Polat! This hotel was recommened and I went along as I could not miss the dates (Business visit). The hotel is in Topkapi and that was a plus point (Boy what a disappointment). The room rates are extravagant,... More

Akgun is a five star hotel with 3 star or below facilities. Very small and slow lifts, break fast selections were very less, staff can improve too much, room heaters with too much noice, slow internet etc... More

This hotel has a 5 star "front of house", but 3 star rooms and food. I travelled on business to this hotel, and I am sure that I have stayed they previously. However, it has not changed much, and the first time I stayed must have been 10 years ago! The rooms are "dingey" the barthrooms in particular are in... More

The rooms are smelly and the furniture is poor. Not sure how this hotel ever got a 5 start rating. What a rip-off. The staff barely speaks english and they have no clue about customer service. The airconditioning was weak and we ended up opening the windows and it was too noisy as the hotel fronts a busy street. The... More

Very old hotel but pretty nice rooms. It is not near anything forcing you to eat there. Small buffet supper would be about $20 per person. More
