Barceló Istanbul exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with friendly smiles and efficient service. A special shoutout to Milad (I do hope I got your name spelled right) from the front desk, whose exceptional hospitality and helpfulness made my check-in process seamless. The cleanliness and comfort of my room were impeccable, thanks to the diligent efforts of Melek from housekeeping. I love the fact that she always greet me with sincerest smile and her attention to detail ensuring my room is clean and tidy - and not forgetting the amenities are constantly being stocked up. The hotel's breakfast buffet was a delightful experience. The variety of dishes was impressive, and the quality of the food was top-notch. The staff at the restaurant were incredibly attentive and accommodating. Overall, my stay at Barceló Istanbul was fantastic. The combination of luxurious amenities, prime location, and exceptional staff made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul, whether for business or leisure.

This was one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at. They upgraded me to a suite with a hamam built-in complimentary. It's about a 10-minute walk to the Taxsim subway. I would consider staying here again in the future.

I stayed at Barcelo Istanbul hotel from October 13 to Oct 23.I was asked for a deposit of 100 euros upon my arrival which I did give. Another couple that checked in the same date was not asked for a deposit. At check out the clerk informed me that I cannot receive the 100 euros back but he gave me a lesser amount in Turkish lira. I found this strange but it was 4 am , our taxi was waiting and I did not want to argue. Upon my return, I have sent emails to the hotel but did not receive any answers which I find not professional. During my stay I was very happy with the cleanliness of the room - thank you Nurten Hanim- the location, the breakfast buffet . There is nothing negative I can say about my stay but not getting any answers as to why did not receive the full deposit back effects the rating of my review. I asking for the management to do the right thing and return my full deposit .
