The hotel really made me feel at home with its spacious rooms and extremely comfy bed and pillows. The view was beautiful, and everything was spotlessly clean. However, the dining experience could use some improvement with more variety available.

The staff, especially the male receptionist, were so kind and welcoming. They went out of their way to assist us, even sorting our dinner out when we arrived late due to a flight delay. Their cooperation in arranging the ballroom for our meeting was fantastic.

The hotel rooms were spacious and luxurious, perfect for a family of four, but the lack of soundproofing made privacy an issue. The service was helpful in recommending local attractions but slow in responding to requests. The central location near Taksim Square and Istiklal Street was convenient, with access to transportation. The dining experience offered a good variety of food and a lovely city view.

My stay at the hotel was mostly positive. The rooms were clean and not small, but the thin walls made it easy to hear everything outside. The lingering tobacco smell was a downside, reminding me of past smoking days. However, the room was a welcome change from other hotels on Istiklal street.

I stayed at Barcelo hotel in Istanbul with my fiance. The location was very nice, with easy access to transportation, but a bit far from the noise of Taksim square. The rooms tended to be smaller, and we faced issues like nonfunctional USB outlets and delayed check-out charges. The service was a mix of friendly faces at reception but my perfume got stolen. The dining experience had its ups and downs with good options for kids but lacking variety. Overall, a decent stay with some hiccups.
