Barin Hotel - Istanbul

Recommend it for couples seeking comfort

The staff surprised us with some charming gifts,. The breakfast spread, with its fresh olives and cheeses, was a good way to start the mornings together.

It wasn't exactly a bargain, but still acceptable for what we got.

Friendly stafff; Clean hotel; Updated amenities (including reliable free Wi-Fi access from room); Great location; Generous breakfast; Safe area; Sound proof windows

I could hear some sound from adjacent roooms; but nothing significant. I also recommend for the hotel to add towel hangers in the bathroom.

for shots visit lotiz lounge & hookah, nestled within 10 minutes' walk of the hotel. beyazit square is a stone's throw away.

I enjoyed my stay with cozy, clean rooms and the daily fresh towels, but breakfast could use more variety.

Location

The size of the room was smaller than expected however was quite.

Well located. Nice breakfast buffet. Kind and efficient staff. Clean. Has all standard features, including free wi-fi that works fine, and efficient, *silent* a/c and a fridge. Nice tv too. Location was fine, at walking distance from Great Bazar and 5 min walk from the tramway stop (a wonderful way to travel through the city).

I didn't like the fact that air conditioning was only for rooms (not public spaces), and only when the magnetic card was inserted in a slot in the room, which means that each time we returned to the room, it was hot and humid (it was in July and outside temp was 30°c). However, the a/c system was efficient enough to cool & dry the the air in minutes. Room was a bit too small & furniture was basic. Not many options to hang/put clothes on. Beds were ok but I asked for a twin room, and I got 2 different sized bed (one double and one single). Also, there was only one cover sheet (one of them had holes in it), and I had to ask blakets at the desk since they had been forgotten. Finally, I think I paid a bit too much (75 €). A friend of mine had much better rate (45 €) in a near-by hotel.

Ideal for city explorers

Breakfast was a real highlight! They had a wonderful Turkish spread,, and that cozy atmosphere made it all worth it. Plus, the terraza view--you can see the entire city and just sit back while sipping on tea.

It wasn't exactly cheap but still reasonable for what you get.

Just a nice place to stay in Istanbul.

very good location, near tramway station. also is easy to come from the ataturk airport. very proffesional friendly staff, very clean an confortable rooms. unfortunatelly i slept only one night, because the first night they sent me to another hotel (my room was not free when i arrived). and congratulation for mr. savas..

i have nothing to say from this point of view.

The location is great, near tram and bus stops and within walking distance of main attractions. The staff were polite and ready to help. The rooms weresuper clean and cozy. The breakfast was delicious. The hotel's lobby looked nice and the twin room was spacious.

There was nothing I didn't like.

The staff were very helpful and accommodating when I completely overlooked the clocks going forward for daylight savings, they were genuinely concerned that I might miss my flight (which I did not).

Very quiet yet short walking distance to many toiurist sites etc. Also very good value for money. A three star hotel that meet expectations for this type of hotel - no frills but generally OK.

Hot water erratic - was OK but erratic.

We had a great room with a nice view of the street, and the staff were very friendly and helpful; the location is convenient, just a 20-minute walk to the subway station, and the Aqueduct of Valens is within walking distance.

Good position.

Hotel Staff, rude and impolite.

Location is in the vibrant hart of Istanbul close to Grand Bazar. Many hotels and restaurant nearby.

No complaint, just a fine hotel. Do not expect some romantic place. All is there and it is a little outdated. Ac makes lot of noise but works fine. Breakfast is some what small in vararity but it is fresh when you come at 06.30 and old at 09.30......
