+The location was perfect, every major sightseeing attraction was nearby and next to the metro. +Kursad and his team were extremely friendly, helped with everything we needed, and gave us tips on where to go and what to see. +The room was always clean, with fresh towels and bathroom amenities provided. +Breakfast was delicious, with a big selection of cheeses and ham, freshly made egg dishes, and more.

Very convenient location, excellent breakfast, friendly and caring staff. The room was not large, maybe a bit small for things if you are staying for a longer period. But I didn't spend much time in the hotel, so it was fine. The room was clean and tidy.

The room was enough spacious but not big

The breakfast was perfect, you can find here anything you want. Hot meal will be cooked specially for you. It's impossible to avoid turkish sweets! The location is the best! You will be able to reach everything around just in 5 minutes

Barbera Boutique Hotel is the perfect starting point for exploring Istanbul – just steps away from Gülhane Park. If you’re interested in history, you can visit the Archaeology Museum, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Egyptian Bazaar. Cross the Galata Bridge and you’ll find yourself at Galataport and the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art. Or head toward Istiklal Avenue to discover the Pera Museum’s collections and rotating exhibitions – a refreshing cultural experience, especially on a hot day. :) The hotel is very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was fresh and generous. Many thanks to all the staff for the excellent service and kindness – especially to Kürśad and Murat whose suggestions made exploring Istanbul so much easier and more enjoyable! P.S. And if you’re lucky, you might meet a cat outside Barbera Hotel unlike any you’ve ever seen before… “There is so much to discover in Istanbul, and Barbera Hotel – with its fantastic location, wonderful staff, and attentive service – does everything to make your stay truly memorable!

The room with the balcony was really tiny but we didn’t spend much time there so it didn’t matter at the end. Also the furniture was kind of worn off so some of the decorations or handles were slightly falling apart.

The location was perfect, close to the main Istanbul attractions. Breakfasts were of a great selection. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Absolutely Amazing Stay at Barbera Hotel! Our stay at Barbera Hotel in Istanbul was truly one of the best experiences we’ve had. The location is perfect — right in the heart of the city and within walking distance to all the major attractions. The breakfast buffet was absolutely incredible, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from every morning. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the outstanding service. Every single staff member — from reception to housekeeping and the breakfast team — went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They helped us with everything we needed, including organising transport and assisting with our luggage both on arrival and departure. Highly recommend Barbera Hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. We’ll definitely be back!

This was a super small boutique hotel right in the heart of the old town, however it was in a quiet side street so there was no traffic noise etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially the two staff who managed the breakfast area nothing was to much trouble and they always gave us a greeting each morning, the breakfast they provided was also first class.Overall we were very impressed with this hotel and would happily stay again if in Istanbul.

The staff is amazing! The loacation is great (close to main attractions and quite at the same time), breakfast could be a bit better, but still was ok. Very comfy beds, and clean rooms.

Perfect location to most attractions, and things to do in Istanbul. The location is walkable to Sultanahmet area, Topkapi palace, Hagia Sophia, and Blue Mosque. We visited most of the popular tourist spots from our hotel without taking a taxi. The public transportation is also easy to access from this hotel. We walked from our hotel to Galata bridge, Galata tower, all the way to taksim square. The staff was wonderful always helpful, courteous , and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Although we are usually easy to please and we don’t have any food restrictions we didn’t like the breakfast very much (tasty and options available). Examples: the regular bread didn't look fresh, the same options every day, the scrambled eggs and pancakes weren't tasty.

1) Location was definitely very good. We went to many tourist attractions on foot or easily took a bus/Tram/Ferry boat nearby to the hotel. 2) The staff go out of their way to help and make you feel welcome. Even with the language barriers, they always go the extra mile to be friendly!

The only time I woke up was one morning hearing the call to prayer from the mosque but you will experience this anywhere you stay within the historic faith area and need to wear ear plugs.

While there are many hotels close to the main attractions in Istanbul this is one of the few which is set in a quiet street. We got a good night sleep and were able to walk to the main attractions within the sultanameht. The restaurants immediately near the hotel are mostly tourist traps but you don’t need to walk very far to hit some great gems. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast at the hotel was very fresh and tasty. Staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay.

Rooms are quite small. For big and tall persons it was more difficult to get arround the room.

Location was good, offering easy acces to different parts of the city or attractions. Close to metro, tram and even ferry. Althogh close to train station it was quiet ( except for cats mawing in the night). Superior floors accesible via lift.

Great location in old town in a very quiet street. Easy walk to all old town attractions, Topkapi Palace and major mosques. Shops and restaurants abound nearby. Sedat was a fantastic host and a source of information and went out of his way to help whenever we needed it. All other staff were friendly and helpful. We could not fault anything about our stay.

Amazing host, ideal location for first-time Istanbul visitors. Great breaksfast. Close to the T1 tram and ferries. Overall a recommendation, if we come back to Istanbul, we'll book this place. We stayed 5 nights and were very satisfied.

The only thing that was a problem during our trip was the mini fridge. We like to buy local stuff and store in the mini fridge to try whenever we like, but we ended up losing a few things because it was not working.

The hotel is very well located, pretty close to the Galata Bridge. It's about 30min walk from Istiklal Cd and in the heart of the Sultanahmet region. We walked everywhere. The breakfast was great, with even options to order, like omelettes and pancakes. Murat was very friendly from the beginning, helping us out with everything and Kuşat as well. They really made a difference.
