Barcelo Hotel Istanbul

Great stay indeed ... I recommend Barcelo Hotel Istanbul for all my family and I will stay in here again next visit to Istanbul. The room is spacious and the cleanliness is perfect. I appreciate the complimentary cake we have had in our first day. The breakfast buffet is typically extensive, offering a wide variety of dishes displayed in serving stations. The location is very good too. It's near Takseem center, about 7 minutes walk. Fortunately, we are still in the hotel for more five nights and we will discover it well.

This was one of our best travel experience so far. The hotel room was spacious, clean and elegant. The staff were amazing across all service lines. Especially want to thank the night room service staff, we used to have a late night hot milk request due to our older being jet lagged, and every single time they would deliver it with smile. It was clear that the staff took great pride in taking care of our needs. Likewise with the restaurant staff, since we were there for almost a week, by 2nd they they learnt our dietary preferences and would go our of their way to make us feel cared for, and comfortable. ||||I whole heartedly recommend this place and would love to stay again when I visit next time!

This hotel makes us feel welcome the moment we arrive. From the door to reception, next to breakfast and even housekeeping, they make you feel welcome. Hadn't seen an unhappy face at all. In this review, I have 3 things to talk about. The usual 'did good' and 'do better' and 2 staff that who went out of their way to make it better for us. Did good. 1. The smiling faces - this was one hotel that made me feel I was welcomed and not a passing face. Sure, the usual greetings and the usual smile. But it was the interaction we had with the staff that made it different. 2. The room was very spacious given the prime estate in Istanbul. 3. The bed, the pillows were very comfortable. 4. Room temperature remains constant at 24 deg during winter, even without the heater on, with the windows open. (I suspect the room is heated) 5. The bath was a very welcome nice to have. After driving around Turkey the last 14 days, the bath really provided some needed relaxation. It was unfortunate that during our 4 nights, we didn't have time for the spa. 6. The toilet always remains warmer than the rest of the room. Something that I appreciate a lot after a shower. 7. We were even given 2 charms during check out. (I hope to stay with you again next year when I visit). Do better 1. Shower stall, please improve the grip of the floor. I nearly slipped and fell 2 times. 2. The bathtub needs some kind of grip and handle to help guests get out of the water and the tub. Consider older guests with hip or back issues. 3. TV needs to have some english channels. It would have been better. Lastly These 2 guys, 1 from F&B and 1 from housekeeping, made sure our stay was comfortable and welcomed even though language was a challenge for them.

Loved everything about this place.Location- very close to Taksim & loads of restaurants & shops around you.Services - excellent , check in and out was effective & efficient. Hospitality- excellent . Each and everyone one in the hotel tries their best to give you excellent service. Language- excellent English, Arabic & other languages are spoken by the staff which makes it very easy to communicate. Room - big size, clean & a bit old but the cleaning done on daily basis makes you feel its new. Toilet- was my favorite part, the white and grey colour marbles made my eyes go crazy!The spa- don’t miss it. There is a Moroccan lady don’t miss her she is excellent in her job.The breakfast- was the star of my stay. The food, the service, the huge area and everything about it.Over all I was really happy with BARCELO and I highly recommend it. Definitely will be back.

Barceló Istanbul is a nice hotel with a lot going for it. The location is great situated in a quiet neighborhood but still close to all the main attractions, which makes it super convenient. The rooms are clean, which is always a plus, but they do feel a bit dated, and there are some minor issues that could use attention. It’s comfortable, but it doesn’t quite have the polished feel of a true 5-star hotel. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a stay in Istanbul, and I’d rate it more as a good 4-star hotel than a 5-star. Still, the location and cleanliness make it a worthwhile option.

Clean, cozy and modern hotel with friendly staff. Service was very good. Breakfast can improve a bit by having more varieties. Overall experience was excellent.

Had an amazing stay for 3 days. Staff is very cooperative. They suggested us the best activities and places to visit. The ambience and the environment was just fabulous; I would love to visit again. Made my Instanbul visit so so so lovely. Thank you Barcelo!
