The hotel is located in a very vibrant neighbourhood and within 5 minute walking distance to all major attractions in istanbul. It is very modern and sleek yet still has a family run feel to it due to the warm hospitality of the staff. Rooms are cosy and have everything you need to be comfortable and the breakfast is limited for choice but everything tastes great.

Hagia Sophia

In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can explore its vast structure from the inside with a visit to the museum that’s now housed within the walls.

Not worth the money to go! Very dissapointing. Also they try to swindle you & upsell on the ticket price from €25 to €50, so you end up paying double for a less than mediocre experience. Avoid at all cost.

Very old and full of history it has had many different lives & purposes over the centuries. Some of the paintings on the walls are still visible & tell a story. Did a guided tour and it was definitely worth it.

Queues, Queues and more queues. But worth it. Do not bother with the AR experience which costs an extra 1250 TL (£25) each. The entrance is roughly £25 to get in if you buy it at the ticket office, make sure you ask for the basic tour otherwise they include the AR experience as a default. Amazing mosaics and beautiful architecture.

This greekorthodox monument, one of the greatest for the christianity worldwide, is questionably managed by the modern Turkish state, after it was recently converted to a mosque (since there are so many of them, I really wonder why) The entrance for the tourists is allowed only at the 2nd floor, missing that way, an amazing perspective of this exceptional temple, that you can have only from the ground floor. You simply get half the pleasure! At least, you can have a glance of the unique mosaics covered by white pieces of cloth, due to religious restrictions. Anyway, don't miss it!

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level.

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level. Previously you could get in on the ground floor and experience the wonderful open space of the huge dome above you. It is still possible to see some of the dome and the structure is very interesting but a slight disappointment. However , it is an amazing old structure. Small number of mosaics still visible. Better and more extensive mosaics at the Kariye Camii if mosaics are of interest.

This was the most incredible part of Istanbul.

This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel, primarily due to its unbeatable proximity to Hagia Sophia and the exceptional kindness of the owner. The location made exploring the historical center effortless, but it was the owner's unparalleled helpfulness and warmth that truly made our trip. They were incredibly attentive, generous with their time and advice, and made us feel genuinely cared for from check-in to check-out.

We booked a room with a sea view, and the view was beautiful, even during breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful, the Wi-Fi was good, and the hotel's location was ideal, close to Sultanahmet train station, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar. The price was good, the place was quiet, and the bed was very comfortable.

The room was nice and cosy. The bathroom, including the shower, was also very nice, even though small. The staff were very kind, even though there is no real reception (it is not a usual hotel) — it’s just a man (sometimes more like a boy) sitting at a small desk with a computer right next to the door. The location is good: Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are about 5 minutes away by a brisk (but uphill) walk. The price–quality ratio is overall good, at least outside the high season

My room overlooked the Topkapi palace. On the other side of the hotel you can see Hagia Sophia a block away. The breakfast is incredible. The view on one side is Hagia Sophia, on the other is Topkapi palace, and on the other is the Bosphorus!! Mezze of several cheeses, dips, pickles, fresh veges and fruits, continental cereal, yogurt, juices, scrambled eggs, yummy feta pastries not sure what they are called. So so good.

I’d highly like to recommend Hotel Akçinar! It’s located just a few steps away from the port and surrounded by many restaurants and shops.It’s also very close to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque & park.The room is cleaned every day,WiFi works well and breakfast is served daily.The atmosphere is nice,I got this “home away from home” feeling.I’ll definitely choose Hotel Akçinar again when I return to Istanbul.

Excellent location and very friendly front office staff! Very clean! The hotel's prime spot places guests within immediate walking distance of all major historic attractions in Istanbul, including Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Basilica Cistern. The central position also ensures easy access, with the port and the vibrant Egyptian Bazaar both less than a 15-minute walk away. Breakfast was great with a really good choice of fresh food!

Blue Mosque & Hagia Sofia are both jaw droppingly stunning inside. Avoid the huge tour group queues & go straight to the top of the line, else you'll wait for hours. I was in (in both places), in 10 minutes without being pushy.
