Türkiye/Istanbul Barcelo Hotel - An Absolute Pleasure
Pros:

I was surely in good hands with Barcelo Hotel in Istanbul, where all staff (especially the concierge) were kind and well-equipped. The concierge made things at ease for me: borrowing an umbrella, storing my luggage while I was visiting other cities in Türkiye, getting breakfast boxes when my flights were early in the morning like at 3am. Overall, the service was excellent from the front-desk receptionist to the bellboy - courteous and prompt. My room was nice and clean with useful amenities, more importantly quiet. Restaurant was very affordable, with great food variety and taste.

Our experience in Barcelo hotel
Pros:

The location is perfect, in Istiklal district, nearalmost everything

We liked the atmosphere, quiet and romantic

The room is wide, the view is nice you can see the sunrise through the window

The cleaning service is perfect 24/7, especially Filiz, she is very nice, polite, doing her job very well, we liked her.

There is one thing we didn’t like, there is no bidet shower, which makes it difficult a little bit, you have to bring yours when comming

Felt Completely at Home. Thanks to an Amazing Team!
Pros:

I had such a wonderful stay at Barceló Istanbul mostly thanks to the incredible people who work there!

First and foremost, I have to mention Ali , a waiter (casualty). He noticed my morning routine right away and made sure everything was ready just the way I liked it, without me even asking. His thoughtfulness and gentle presence made me feel completely at home.

Amir, another wonderful waiter, also deserves a big thank you. He was always quick, and attentive, adding a bright start to every morning. Together, Ali and Amir made breakfast something to look forward to every day.

A special mention goes to Chef Amineh, whose warm smile and positive energy filled the restaurant. Her dishes were delicious, but it was her happy spirit that made the atmosphere feel so welcoming.

At the front desk, Dilara was both professional and genuinely friendly. And Hassan, the housekeeper, kept my room spotless with great care and attention to detail.

Overall, the team at Barceló Istanbul turned what could have been a regular hotel stay into a truly personal and heartwarming experience. I can’t thank them enough, I left feeling like I was saying goodbye to friends.

Excellent stay
Pros:

We had a wonderful 5-day stay at Barcelo Istanbul. The breakfasts were excellent with a great variety and fresh options every day. The rooms are spacious with excellent sound insulation. The staff throughout the hotel were very pleasant and helpful, which made our stay even more comfortable.

I would especially like to mention Huseyin, who took care of our room (Room 617). The room was always perfectly clean, everything was replenished on time, and he was always kind, polite and smiling. His work truly made a difference and we appreciated it very much.

Thank you to the whole team for a lovely stay — we would be happy to return.

Barcelo
Pros:

Barceló Istanbul – our second home in Istanbul!
We have been visiting Barceló Istanbul with friends for the past five years and each time our experience is unique. The hotel combines elegance, comfort and impeccable service with an atmosphere that makes you feel truly special.
The rooms are spacious, modern and always spotlessly clean, the breakfast is rich and delicious, and the location is simply ideal for experiencing Istanbul to the fullest.

A special mention goes to Hani, who does everything to make you feel like Barceló is your home. Her kindness, care and smile are among the main reasons we return every year!

Congratulations to the entire team for their consistency and professionalism.
Barceló Istanbul is not just a hotel — it is a hospitality experience that wins you over again and again.
We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Bay Nazar’ın nezaketi, özeni ve harika tavrı. Mr. Nazar’s politeness, care, and wonderful attitude.
Pros:

Bay Nazar, konaklamamız boyunca çok nazik, yardımsever ve dikkatliydi. 418 ve 419 numaralı odalarımızla yakından ilgilendi ve her şeyi tertemiz ve düzenli tuttu. Misafirlere her zaman saygı ve nezaketle davrandı, rahat ve huzurlu bir ortam yarattı. Emeği ve ilgisi için kendisine içtenlikle teşekkür eder, başarılarının devamını dilerim.
