We had a very pleasant stay, the room was small but very clean and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, wi-fi worked well, and shower had good water pressure and temperature. Location was pretty good, not a far walk to transportation and sites. Staff was very friendly and helpful in securing transportation for us.

The staff was above and beyond what we expected. Murat even ran and got a birthday cake for my husband's birthday. This is a first-class hotel.

Everything is good

Wonderful stay at the Barbera hotel. The staff were really helpful with plenty of good advice from the staff at the front desk for seeing places and getting around using the Istanbul. The breakfast was really nice especially the egg with sujuk and the breakfast staff were friendly, helpful and attentitive. Would definitely stay again here.

Short stop over weekend

Very friendly/helpful staff.

Fantastic hotel, clean rooms, friendly staff and an excellent location.

A quiet boutique property. Close to everything. Staff very helpful.

Rooms were clean l. Service was excellent. I really enjoyed staying in this hotel i would definitely book again on my next trip

Cleanliness and service

Well located and staff was exceptional

Good for a mini-break

The hotel is ideally located in the north of the old town very near the tram with easy access across the bridge to Karaköy. The service was great (fast check-in, available for questions, happy to arrange a yellow taxi to the airport on short notice), albeit I preferred to find recommendations online than refer to the hotel staff. The room itself was comfortable, modern and clean.

The most perfect stay in the most perfect location

This was the most incredible stay we have experienced. The guest services were incredible. They provided us with the most attentive service, giving us recommendations of all kinds. We took their advice and not once were we disappointed. I could not believe how much the staff at this hotel would do for us. It was simple, perfect.

Excellent service

Service is excellent and highly commended. Front desk has been extremely helpful in securing ring side table for dinner cruise. Staff volunteers to get us hard to come by special Turkish Delights. Overall, excellent experience at this establishment.

Nice hotel

Nice and clean hotel, I liked this hotel, thank you for the nice stay..

Great location, the stuff is amazing and very friendly. The rooms are very cozy and clean..

Excellent service!! Great people!! Very clean and cozy. Shower water pressure is amazing and hot water last long. 😍

Modern, clean, friendly, and located perfectly!!!

Let me summarize my experience: new and modern building and facilities, first class five-star service, best location, and world class breakfast! Emrey and his team could not have made our experience any better. He takes great pride in the service he offers and it shows from the room to the breakfast. The room features sound-proof windows, high capacity air conditioning, comfortable beds, and is immaculately clean. The service from his staff is excellent. They are super friendly, and go above and beyond to take care of you. The location is in Emononu, the central part of Fatih for tourists. It's so easy to walk everywhere! You can go to Sultanahmet (super touristy place with all the landmarks), walk to Kadikoy, take one of many boats on the Bosphorus, and easily take the metro anywhere in the city. The hotel can help you avoid all the tourist traps and provide recommendations on places to eat that will wow you. My wife and I look forward to staying again soon!!!!

The hotel and staff were wonderful and very accommodating

Great modern facility. Extremely close to all the tourist attractions. Walking distance to Blie mosque, basicilica cistern etc. Amazing staff members. Will definitely stay here again!

Friendly staff and great hospitality. Great location.

Staff very helpful & pleasant .

Small hotel with personal service

Very helpful staff; good position close to Sirecki station, Bazaar area, ferries etc

Istanbul Short Trip

We had a wonderful 4 night stay, one of the best hotels I visited in Istanbul historical area. It's a small boutique hotel, very cozy and comfortable.

Very clean and friendly staff. Everything was in close walking distance and was in great location. Highly recommend staying as my wife and I are already planning another trip back.

The location is perfect for tourists on a short visit of Istanbul since the hotel is within walking distance of most of the main attractions of Istanbul. The staff is very helpful.

Fabulous hotel

Amazing hotel and fabulous staff. I really recommend his hotel. Thanks for your great work

Service from receptionist, bar staff and cleaning staff excellent very friendly always looking to help. Location excellent very near the famous top of the list attractions. I would rate it 4 to 5 stars and would recommend anyone to stay in this hotel.

This is very well-maintained boutique hotel, located in a quiet corner of old town, yet a very close walk to the main sites. The staff was incredibly helpful, starting before I arrived with tips on what to do and arranging airport transportation, to a warm welcome upon arrival and during my stay. Breakfast was delicious and the room was very warm and welcoming. Thoughtful gifts were included, bottled water, slippers to take with you on your travels, and a package of yummy cookies upon check-out. Would absolutely stay again!

Pleasant stay

Amazing! City center, best service , friendly staff

Great hotel, with amazing customer service.

The hotel was very clean and located very close (A 10-minute walk) to the main Istanbul landmarks like Hagia Sophia and the blue mosque. Our stay was made even better thanks to the outstanding care provided to us by Kemal at the front desk, we had so much knowledge of Istanbul and recommended a few things for us to do. Overall a great stay!

Wonderful city centre hotel, with an extremely helpful team of staff. Close to the historic monuments, river and public transport stations. This is a gem!

Fabulous hotel; friendly staff, great location

Hotel Barbera is a gem. A gorgeous boutique hotel that has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The staff are incredibly friendly and cannot do enough to help you. The location is fabulous for walking to all of the main sights in the Old Town, and for getting to the ferries/tram/or even walk over the the newer part of Istanbul.

Delivered in every way! Must stay....

We stayed as a couple and from the start were greeted by a very welcoming, pleasant, friendly girl called Ece. We booked having read the reviews which were all outstanding and due to the location of the hotel. All the main tourists spots were walking distance & I would recommend getting a pre booked taxi from the airport to the hotel to save you hassle. We were upgraded at no extra charge on arrival just because the room was available, the pics of the rooms are exactly true to what you get. The hotel is very modern & beautiful, a lot of money has been spent on it. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who are ready to cater for your every need. As muslims we are not alcohol drinkers so the alcoholic drinks were removed from the fridge on arrival. We got to know it is a family run hotel and Ece is the daughter of the owner, she speaks amazing English and is one of he most friendly, lovely ppl I have met, she really made this a special stay for us. We got to know her and she didn't hesitate to give us her personal contact number for our stay in Istanbul in case we needed her. Her sister in law & murat were also front of house staff and again were beyond attentive & helpful. Overall everything about Barbera was amazing, I would highly recommend, these people really look after you and won't rip you off. The furniture & fittings of the hotel were very modern & boutique like. We can't wait for our next stay!!!!

The hotel was amazing

Thank you for everything, location hotel and relaxing

Great boutique hotel near Orient Express Train Sta

Wonderful, pleasing boutique! Hotel up to western standards. Owners made every effort to make stay as comfortable as can be. With very nice special touches such as towel warmers, Italian designer coffee kettle and refrigerator. Can fault the hotel. Will recommend to family & friends.Thank you Jenna for a great stay!

A hidden gem in the heart of Istanbul

My brother, my mother and I stayed at Barbera hotel from July 2-8, 2016. Nothing but "amazing" can describe our experience. Barbera hotel is a modern cozy hotel situated in the heart of Istanbul; walking distance to major points of interest. The staff are wonderful and made us feel at home. They certainly went above and beyond the call of duty. This establishment surly deserves 5 star plus rating. I would definitely stay there if I were to visit Istanbul again. Thank you for a wonderful time :)

Great Hotel

We loved this place we stayed 5 days and its modern with wonderful staff who simply could not do enough to assist us. The location is great close to everything but just a bit out of the hustle. The street it on is a bit boring and looks a bit cold but its 1 street from everything including, trains, trams and ferries.

Fantastic!

Every aspect of this hotel was excellent. The owners and staff were friendly and helpful and helped take all the hassle out of travelling. The rooms are modern with all the amenities you need and very comfy beds. Location is great for exploring the sights. We will definitely return in the future.

Istanbul Holiday

We stayed three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jenna and the staff were wonderful to work with.

Location

good location... Helpful staff... Awesome breakfast...

great rooms polite stuff

The hotel is great with very comfortable and nice designed rooms. Staff is very polite and helpful.

Affordable High-End Boutique Hotel -Very Central

Our stay at Barbera Hotel was a recommendation from a family friend who visited a month prior to our trip and came across it wishing she had booked there instead. This hotel not only is minutes away from the Grand Bazaar but also within walking distance of several other tourist attractions that were on our list. Everyone at the front desk spoke perfect English and helped us coordinate best times to go where to avoid the crowds and tourist traps. The provided us with the best entrance to enter the Grand Bazaar and even directed us to where we could find specific spices etc. We weren't sure what to expect with the room sizes or restaurant in the hotel (Taze) but we were pleasantly surprised. The room was plenty spacious and had beautiful touches which made it feel like home. Taze was one of the more incredible meals we experienced on this trip with table service like nowhere you'd find in the US. We definitely will be coming back to the Barbera hotel and highly recommend it to others- especially those coming from the US for the first time!

The best hotel in Sirkeci Area

Nice New hotel , excellent location , 50 meters to (marmary) metro station , 100 meters to tramway station . Very comfortable bed , good and new amenities , french balcony in each room . very good AC unit in each room .very good staff and employees (you feel that they are friends to you). Standard breakfast .

Me gustó la ubicación, que permite visitar a pie la mayoría de lugares históricos y comerciales de Istanbul. Está casi en medio del bullicio pero en una calle tranquila. El desayuno es correcto. El trato es amable. Las habitaciones son correctas, no demasiado grandes. Un dia pedimos un transporte para 10 personas a 10 minutos del hotel y nos cobraron 40€, mientras que la vuelta con un Uber nos costó 6€. Mejor no pedir transfers.

Hôtel accueillant, chambre confortable, bien situé

Accueil du personnel, Propreté, Chambre confortable, Petit-déjeuner, Bonne localisation pour visiter Istanbul.

Schönes kleines Boutique Hotel an perfekter Lage um alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuss oder per Tram zu erreichen. Das gesamte Hot-Team ist überaus zuvorkommend, freundlich und aufgestellt. Man fühlt sich als Gast rundum wohl und willkommen. Alle Angestellten geben einem wertvolle Tipps bezüglich der Erreichbarkeit und Gepflogenheiten alles Plätze, Ausflugszielen und Sehenswürdigkeiten, aber auch der Kultur. Wir können das Hotel Barbera nur empfehlen.

Super sauberes und gelegenes Hotel

Super Boutique Hotel mit einer super Lage! Von hier aus hat man quasi direkten Zugang zur allen Verkehrsmittel. Hier buchen und die ganzen Sehenswürdigkeiten in Istanbul entdecken. Frühstück war gut und Tee und Kaffee gab es rundum die Zeit kostenlos. Super Personal. Ich komme wieder

Beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité des prestations

Très bonne localisation à côté des principaux sites touristiques et de l'embarcadère pour le ferry. Quartier très animé mais la rue est calme. Chambre fonctionnelle, propre avec tout le nécessaire mais très petite pour 2 personnes. Les 2 lits n'arrêtaient pas de bouger comme ils avaient des roues.. Vue sur un entrepôt..Pas de lumière du jour. Toutes les miroirs sont dans la salle de bain (compliqué à se préparer pour 2 personnes). Les chaînes arabes et françaises ne fonctionnent pas (seulement des chaînes turques et 2 en anglais CNN et BBC) Petit déj moyen: le buffet à volonté est très limité. Il faut demander pour les boissons chaudes et les plats à base d'oeufs. On doit choisir entre un plat salé et un sucré (pas possible d'avoir des oeufs et des pancakes par ex). Le personnel est gentil et serviable mais j'ai trouvé ça gênant de ne pas pouvoir se servir et de devoir demander à chaque fois même pour une tasse de café (le petit déj devrait être en buffet libre service). Les pancakes sont industriels (très secs et durs), la cuisson des oeufs n'est pas bien maîtrisée à part les plats turques à base d'oeufs qui sont excellents (ne pas commander les oeufs brouillés, omelettes et pancakes) Pour conclure, il s'agit plutôt d'un petit hôtel familial plutôt bien placé mais où on manque d'intimité...Les entrées et sorties sont surveillées, au petit déj nous sommes servis,...c personnel mais je préfère un hôtel plutôt standard où il n y a pas toute cette pression

Hospedaje céntrico, accesible a sitios de interés, limpieza impecable, pequeño pero cómodo. Excelente atención del personal. Desayuno inmejorable.

Servicio inmejorable

El hotel es 100% recomendable. He leído comentarios sobre la escasez del desayuno, lo cual es rotundamente injusto. El desayuno es muy completo y puedes pedir a la carta varios platos que están fabulosos. El servicio es de 12 sobre 10. Todo el mundo se esfuerza por agradar y por hacer la estancia fabulosa. Los chicos del desayuno son muy atentos y profesionales. Los dueños también, al igual que la persona que se ocupa de las habitaciones o el de recepción. Han sobrepasado nuestras expectativas. El hotel está bien situado, a 10’ andando de todo. Un acierto. Gracias
