Akin Suites

  : Akin Suites was located in easy walking distance to Kadikoy markets and restaurant district, and also the ferries to Eminonu. The giant street art on nearby buildings was fantastic! The local cafes, shops, bakeries and restaurants offer a whole range of great foods. In the apartment, the facilities provided - microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge - were good for a serviced-apartment one-week stay. The view out of the room to the building inner courtyard was a homely touch. Assisted by some English/Turkish phone translation, the staff were very pleasant and helpful.
  : Obviously a refurbished rental apartment, the renovations were quite poorly finished, e.g. bathroom tiles cracked and not grouted properly, allowing the shower to leak. Linen was provided only after we asked for it, and for some reason the bed and couch were uncomfortably firm. While advertised as "wheelchair accessible", there were tall steps at the front door and in the lobby, before we could access the minuscule lift that did not fit a wheelchair (luckily ours folds up). Not all the services advertised on the website are available. We were told they were stopped due to pandemic restrictions and have not been resumed.

  : We liked the location. Near ferry, metro and bus station. The apartment is cosy and enough place for 3 people. We liked the kitchen although we didnt use it a lot. But it did have everything you need. We haf enough towels which was great.
  : The main door was problematic. Kinda not closing properly. Also the balcony door wasnt closing. The bathtub was leaking. First night we stayed there was a lot of voice from other apartments. Also the smell from kitchen was coming at night it was Hard to sleep.

  : The staff was friendly. Thank you Jakob for making us feel welcome. The rooms were spacious.
  : The house needs a microwave.You can keep more cups for coffee.A grater for cheese or vegetables is needed. Proper sharp knives will be useful in the house especially because it is self catering.
