"Great property, well located within 10 mins walk to both hagia Sofia and blue mosque, well connected to the tram as well. We stayed there with 2 kids.
Breakfast was excellent with a great spread, friendly staff, especially the front desk folks like Burhan. The pick and drop from airport was a great choice I thought.
Clean room, had locker."
"We stayed twice at this hotel, part of our layover and we really enjoyed how clean and modern the rooms and hotel was! The Staff is very friendly and helpful, always ready to assit thank you!"
"Had an excellent stay at the Akra hotel, visited middle of May. Hotel is perfectly located only 20-30 mins from the airport and 15-20 mins from the old town.
The hotel itself met all my expectations - they have dedicated guest experience & concierge desks manned throughout the day to assist, on top of a phone service from your room.
Was met with a free drink, wine & fruit platter in my room on arrival.
I had a sea room view and it was spacious enough with balcony, only downside was that the pictures on Expedia showed a couch in the room, however one was not present. The beautiful view made up for it.
The hotel has all the amenities you could need, from 3-4 restaurants (one is an amazing rooftop restaurant), 24hr bar, high quality gym & spa, shops to buy souvenirs or toiletries, Buffett breakfast, work space, 3 pools, with one being an infinity pool and lastly a pseudo beach. Not necessarily a sandy beach I would’ve hoped for but the hotel is perched off a cliff edge so getting a sandy beach would’ve been tough. However Lara beach is only a 30 min drive away.
All in all I would highly recommend staying at Akra if holidaying in Antalya…chefs kiss."

8/10 Good
"Hijyen genel bakım düzen güzeldi, yemekler çoğu gün benzer şeyler çıksa da oldukça çeşitli olması sebebiyle bu konuda sıkıntı yaşamadık ancak kırmızı et çeşitleri daha çok sulu yemek ve haşlama üzerinden dönüyor. Sunum olarak yemekler güzel görünse de genelde 9/10 görünen yemekler ortalama lezzette kalıyor ve beklentiyi tam karşılayamıyor. Çok fazla çeşit denememize rağmen "şuna bayıldım" diyebileceğimiz bir yemeğe denk gelmedik. Snack bar yemekleri gerçekten güzeldi ve diğer otellere göre çok çeşitliydi. Alkol ve bar tarafında kaliteli içkiler de bulunmakla birlikte genelde özellikle belirtilmedikçe daha çok ikinci sınıf hizmet sektörü markası alternatifler kullanılıyor, bunu problem etmedim çünkü kaliteli bilinen markaları rica ettiğimde onlar kullanıldı, ancak bir başka problem kokteyller meyve ve pürelerinden ziyade büyük oranda yapay şuruplar ile dönüyor ve 1-2 günün ardından mide problemlerine yol açabiliyor, lezzet de dolayısıyla oldukça yapay hissettiriyor. Bunlar haricinde genel olarak işinde iyi ve bilgili barmenler olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Bar sayısı fazla ve yeterli olduğu için neredeyse hiç sıra beklemedik o konuda çok memnunuz, barmenler ile sohbet edecek vakti bile bulabildim. Yine de çok yoğun olmayan bir dönemde gitmediğimi de belirtmem gerekir. Son olarak aktiviteler genel anlamda iyiydi ancak yetişkinler için biraz daha spor ve oyun çeşitleri eklenebilir, aktiviteler daha çok çocuklara yönelik görünüyor. Biz genel deneyimden memnun kaldık tavsiye ediyoruz"
