"I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. The check-in process was quick and smooth, and they even offered helpful recommendations for nearby attractions and restaurants. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially appreciated when the staff helped decorate the room with balloons and flowers for our anniversary. The breakfast was great, the friendly demeanor of all the staff members were extremely nice. They truly made my experience memorable. One thing i would take away from this place is the spa treatment we had, we were told to show up 15min early and we did but the staff was either not ready for us or they were running behind, we ended up waiting for 40min until someone came and got us. Because they were behind on schedule and they did not having enough staff members our experience was rushed ended so quickly. Overall we paid 140$ for Turkish bath and it was not worth it at all. Other than that I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a top-notch hotel with exceptional service. Thank you to the entire team specially “Hanieh”for making our stay so enjoyable.

Disappointing Experience with Smoking Room and Dishonest Service My family and I stayed at the Barceló Istanbul on April 19th, 2025. We booked a junior suite as we needed space for our two small children. The suite was listed as non-smoking. Upon arrival, we were hit with the unmistakable stench of cigarette smoke throughout the suite. With young children, this was unacceptable, so we immediately requested another room. Staff said no other junior suites were available. They offered to downgrade us, but mentioned we’d need to book and pay for an additional room to accommodate our family. When we asked about deodorizing our room, they promised to use an ozone fan, taking about 20 minutes. After waiting 10 minutes, I checked on progress. There was no ozone fan as promised—just hallway and room overwhelmed with heavy room spray. They’d simply masked the smoke smell with fragrance rather than using proper equipment. When confronted, the manager insisted they had used an ozone fan—a claim clearly false given what I witnessed. What disappoints me most isn’t just the smoking issue, but the dishonesty. Rather than being transparent, management chose to mislead us, particularly concerning when traveling with children whose health could be affected. I hope this feedback helps Barceló Istanbul improve. Honesty and care for guests’ wellbeing should be paramount in hospitality.

I loved the Barcelo Hotel! The property was great, the rooms were spacious and the breakfast was delicious with a lot of options. We stayed 3 nights and loved all of them. The hotel is honestly 5 stars, we were worried about find the perfect place to stay and went with this one because of all the great reviews. It is a little out of the way if you are using public transportation but nothing a 10-15 minute walk can’t fix. Overall great experience. The front desk staff were also just so courteous and helpful. Will stay again if I come back to Istanbul.
