We went to Istambul on Easter for a 4 days holiday and our choice was made on Barcélo Seray because of its strategic position. The rooms are beautiful but not really large. Just the "right" size. The cleaning is superbe and the personnel is very helpful. The restaurant is good with reasonable prices. International cooking is offered with Turkish one.... more

All in all we our stay at the Barcelo Saray hotel was "ok". No more, no less. The room (a standard) was very small. And some things in the room felt rather “sloppy”. E.g. the toilet paper holder was almost falling down. On the other hand, the location was good ; rather close to the main sights of Istanbul and... more

The hotel staff at Barcelo Saray (Istanbul) were absolutely lovely and made a trip an unforgettable experience from the minute we arrived and the lat minute we left.

The recetion staff is friendly and helpful and they all spoke English. The hotel is virtually a block away from Grand Bazar and walking distance to the Blue Mosque and... more

Opposite the street is one of the entrances in the Great Bazaar and the Technic... more

It was our first visit to Turkey. I have stayed before in a Barcelo Hotel chain. The hotel is in a very good location for dining and shopping within walking distance. Breakfast was very good. The hotel is across a Mosque in Benyazit. The calls to prayer were not extremely loud. If you like to walk, the entrance to the... more

Staff very friendly and helpful. Do ask for a non-smoking room if necessary as our initial room reeked of smoke and also was a twin rather than a double.Reception quickly remedied this. Good location and definitely enjoyed our turkish massage with the friendly masseurs. Good buffet breakfast but evening meal (we arrived late in the evening) was not great. Do... more

Classic interntional contemporary hotel in the really historic center of the city. The position is perfect for tourists, in front of Grand Baazar and very close to Sultanahmet. Ok for its category and for prices, not *so much* cosy but always clean with kindly people. more
