AKKA Lush Hotel Taksim

Excellent, clean, comfortable hotel in the heart of the Taksim square area; very welcoming and helpful staff. Excellent location. A bit surprisingly a security deposit in cash or by credit card has to be made (perhaps also because of the very active night life around the hotel - while rooms are quiet), which however ensures that standards are maintained, eg non-smoking etc…. I have been staying there repeatedly.

AKKA Lush Taksim was clean, hotel was historic with modern comforts built in . Staff super attentive. Location.Busy part of town cityscape but only a 4 minute walk to Taksim Square . The Metro bus stop’s and tram convenience right at Taksim Square for easy travel with an Istanbul cart card to anywhere you want to go.Great shopping and surrounded by local restaurants.Special thanks to Hotel Relations expert Nurlana . She arranged transport by the hotel, from Istanbul airport to Hotel in comfortable Mercedes Benz minivans with quiet professional drivers who zipped us to and from , a great thing when you are tired from traveling.

No complaints. It is on a busy corner of 2 streets a block from Istikbal Street , so street sounds in a city of over 20 million. Safe area. But slept fine at night with great air conditioning and soundproof windows.

Perfect central location and very friendly staff

Nothing

Delicious breakfast and dinner. Lovely staff and helpful when asked. I loved the style and layout of the room. I was pleased with my balcony and being away from the lift area of the hall

It’s so noisy. I did not have a good nights sleep at all. Sirens and beeping for most of the night. I later learnt that it is located beside a hospital hence the constant ambulance noises. My room was right under the restaurant and the banging and dragging of chairs woke me up early morning and late night. The slamming of doors in the halls was awful and the echo of people speaking. The phones in my room kept ringing for 1 second every 15 mins even plugged out of the sockets. When I took a shower a very strong smell of cigarettes was lingering the whole time. The shower doors were so bad and kept getting stuck had to use a lot of force to open and close, also very dark.
