Acra Hotel - Special Class, Istanbul

Perfect location--2 blocks from Hagia Sofia, extraordinarily friendly and helpful staff, yummy breakfast. Rooms are good sized and ours had a water view. What more is there? Would highly recommend.

It was lovely and very cozy hotel.. Staff very friendly .. location perfect

Had 2 rooms for 2 nights in June 2014. The rooms were spacious, staff a little stiff but accommodating, everything worked fine, beds were comfortable, hot water was very hot, neighborhood is to die for. Just a few blocks from the hustle of Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque but this small one-way street had little traffic and was quiet. Restaurants, shops, restaurants, and restaurants are everywhere from Acra's doorstep for a couple blocks in any direction. Breakfast was good; served in a room where old city walls are preserved under glass.

We ended up staying for six nights. The hotel itself is very well located for the major sites but quiet enough to escape the regular touts you come across on other streets in Sultanahmet. The Acra staff were extremely friendly and helpful at all times while the free afternoon tea is a nice touch. We also made use of the next door terrace for some breakfasts and that was also very good. Only have one minor quibble. We had a very loud neighbour the first few nights, who woke us up with their noise several times. However, the staff did respond quickly and effectively when we complained. So we would recommend the hotel to friends which i guess is a real test of a place

Great hotel. Meet friendly and welcoming staff that were very helpful whenever we needed them. Five minute walk away from blue mosque and haga Sophia and great restaurants and cafes nearby. Would definitely recommend and will be staying here again.
