I stayed at the Barcelo Saray last week for 3 nights, we booked a triple room direct with the company as they had a free tansfer offer on if booked direct. I requested a room with a view of the mosque - which we pleasantly got! I was extremely impressed with the staff at the hotel reception desk - we... more

My friend and I stayed in the Barcelo Saray Hotel for 8 nights. The room was very comfortable but lacked coffee making facilities. The bathroom was clean, spacious and well equipped. The breakfast each morning was buffet style and was sumptuous. The breakfast room overlooked a beautiful mosque and the food and coffee was plentiful, fresh and delicious. An eclectic... more

I really liked the Barcelo Saray. It's in the Beyazit district near the Grand Bazaar and across the street from a huge mosque. The tram stop is a couple of blocks away, and the main street is busy with shops and restaurants. And it only takes 14 minutes to walk to the Sultanhemet. We timed it for this review! The... more

The Barcelo Saray is part of a Spanish chain catering mainly to Spanish and Italian tourists visiting Istanbul. The rooms are en-suite and are comfortable (I'd recommend carrying your own stock of toileteries). Our rate included breakfast and was decent fare. The hotel overlooks one of the many mosques that dot the Istanbul skyline and is right opposite the Grand... more

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, good location on Metro/Tram line and diagonally across from Grand Bazaar. Staff is helpful but not too reliable. Example: Being from Florida we were cool in the room in the morning (temp about 55 outside, maybe 65 in room) so we asked how to operate the thermostat in the room, was told they... more

Great location. Nice smart hotel and good value more

I booked this hotel based upon previous travellers reviews and its convenient location. I wasn't disappointed with that, it was a mere 10-15 minute walk to the Sultanahmet district. This hotel does have a quirky and European feel to it, nothing 'chain' about this one, which made for a pleasant change. Very basic in terms of room amenities but adequate.... more

At first glance from the outside, this hotel is not impressive but the inside is modern, simple and clean. The room was compact but it had a queen sized bed and the furniture was modern, it almost had an asian look to it. The restraunt was on the top floor and it overlooked the Beyazit mosque. Breakfast was excellent with... more
