Barbera Hotel

We spent 5 days in Istanbul and the Barbera hotel is just near the Sirkeci trainstation and 650 m waking to the main attractions of the area : TOPKAPI, Hagia Sofia.....Eminonu port right at 200 m. The hotel is situated in an area full of restaurants and shops. Very safe area. Friendly staff, good English speaking, willing to help you with recommendations on anything .... Good turkish breakfast. If you are traveling by car is an"OTOPARK" right on the other side of the street! 10 euro / day to keep your car safety! We'll be back! PS If you are traveling by car is a bit difficult to find the location according with Waze or Google Maps. Better live the car at Sirkeci trainstation Otopark go by foot to the hotel ( 100 m) and ask somebody from the hotel for help! IT's an"OTOPARK" right on the other side of the street! 10 euro / day to keep your car safety!

Excellent stay at Barbera Hotel. Special gratitude to the wonderful hotel staff. The staff was so kind and thoughtful. We had an unfortunate family emergency and my husband had to fly out a day before me. After that they looked out for me and went out of their way to help when they could. We booked The taxi through the hotel but the taxi service charged my husband 20 lira extra over the fixed rate but the hotel staff were so apologetic when I told them and they returned the money to me. Always cheerful and helped with recommendations as well. The room was clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Breakfast was standard. Small bathroom but we didn’t mind. We will definitely be coming back to Istanbul and will certainly stay at Barbera hotel.

It was very much at the centre… all the important monuments, attraction were just in walking distance. The surrounding is very lively with restaurants, shops and great baklava places Hafiz Mustafa being one of them. When it comes to the hotel itself, the room was very cute, super neat and clean. Towels and robes always had good smell. The reception team as well as the room service team were extra ordinary, went out of their way to help us with anything & everything we needed. One of the reception guys even handed us his tram card so that we can use it instead of buying one which was a very cute gesture. The hotel and the team make it a very cozy and warm place to be.

It is the best hotel we have stayed overall. Very high standard. Rooms clean and nicely designed Bed mattresses of highest quality especially considering persons who may have back pain / spine issues. Breakfast is superb. Staff is highly trained, gentle, professional and catered to each and every need of ours and we wish to convey our thanks to Kursad, Bilal, Murat, Sarjan, the director Emrit and his spouse who ensured we had everything we needed. It is a stay that we will not forget.

This is a lovely small family-run hotel right in the centre of the old town within walking distance of the major sites and two minutes from the tram station, yet in a quiet side street away from the bustle of the shops and restaurants of the main street. The owners do shifts at reception and all the staff are very friendly, which gives it a lovely personal touch. The room we stayed in was small, but clean and well equipped. The breakfast is superb with a wide range of egg dishes including a delicious menemen and much more. We can highly recommend this hotel.
