Hotels near Eyup Gondola, Istanbul

It’s a home away from home…. The staff, services and the environment are top notch.

The people who work there was very helpful and very polite

Out stay was great. Enjoyed the hotel. Supervisor Kuray, Sona, Tolga, and other Koray was very helpful. Thank you all!

The Person named SAMET INCEKARA from the Customer Care was indeed a real professional and indeed a GEM!! They treated me like a KING! This is how a customer should be treated always. They offered free Breakfast which was indeed not included in my package and the kept asking twice daily if I needed anything or if there are any complaints. I have referred them to all my business and family contacts and I am sure they will feel at home while being at Akgun Hotel. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

We stayed in a 1-bedroom apartment with a balcony on the ground floor, and it was absolutely wonderful. The apartment was spacious, spotless, and beautifully furnished, with everything you could possibly need. The view over the garden was pleasant, though there was some minor noise from cars on the street – nothing that disturbed our stay. The kitchen was fully equipped with an oven, stove, dishwasher, large fridge with freezer, kettle, Turkish teapot, washing machine, and all the essentials for cooking. Everything was clean and in perfect working order. The living room had two large, comfortable sofas, and there was plenty of hot water. Some reviews mentioned a small bathroom, but ours was perfectly fine – perhaps we were just lucky with the room! We appreciated the fresh towels, bathrobes, slippers, toiletries, and hairdryer, and loved that cleaning was provided every other day. The Wi-Fi was generally stable, good enough for working and video calls, though the TV connection occasionally lagged. The large smart TV offered YouTube, Netflix (own login), and Amazon Prime, which was great for relaxing in the evenings. The location is superb – directly opposite Forum Istanbul Shopping Mall, with plenty of restaurants, cafés, and even IKEA nearby. Just a 5-minute walk to Kocatepe Metro Station (lines M1A & M1B) providing easy access to all parts of the city. Despite being in a lively neighborhood, the apartment itself was very quiet and felt extremely safe. The staff were friendly and helpful, even lending us an umbrella when it rained – a lovely touch. The entrance is a bit unusual (through the parking gate and down to reception by stairs or elevator), but it’s completely safe and easy once you know it. Travel-wise, it took us about 35 minutes by regular yellow taxi from Istanbul Airport, and the fare was around 1600 TRY at the time.
