You wouldn't pick this hotel for a luxury break - this is not a boutique hotel - but it doesn't charge boutique hote price either. But if you are pasing through Istanbul, as we were, it delivers a clean, quite comfortable room at a reasonable price. Beds comfortable, plumbinbg, slightly odd (fluctuating water pressure/temperature), breakfast ok, service desk ok. We... More

Barin hotel is a great place to stay. Close to the Grabd Bazaar, ysou can take the tram, but also walk - it takes some 10 minutes. Rooms clean, breakfast good. Hotel personnel very nice and helpful. We stayed there for three nights.

We found the bar/reception area steril - no TV, no atmosphere. I mean the place was fine, but very ordinary. I suppose that's enough. No complaints - it's clean; the front desk people tried to be helpful; the rooms are standard. The breakfast is regular European style. The location is pretty good for the major attractions. They will set up... More

We had the misfortune of having our passports stolen in Istanbul and moved to this Hotel as our tour group was returning home the next day and our previous hotel did not have availability for us. The hotel, staff and food was excellent. We had to stay for another week until we received a temporary passport to return home. The... More

The hotel was just about 15 minutes walk from the Old Town attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace and 5 minutes away from the Grand Bazaar. We took a package tour with our national airline, Air Malta and paid just under 400 euros each for flight and 7 nights on Bed & Breakfast basis. The room allotted... More

Lovely place with a comfy family friendly atmosphere. Perfect location. Yummy breakfasts and very kind and friendly staff. I'd recommend everybody who is looking for money value.

This hotel fills the basic needs of a traveller, though there's nothing special or extra to it. The location is a bit far for walking to the top tourist sites, but the area itself is a lot more peaceful than, say, Sultanahmet district. The room we stayed in was very small and the walls were quite thin - I used... More

I found this hotel pleasant enough, but nothing special. The location is quite a good base for exploring the Old Town (Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, Tokapi palace etc). The rooms were clean but basic. Staff were a bit hit-and-miss; some very helpful and informative, other not so much. Breakfast, again, good but not spectacular. I have no real complains about... More

The hotel is just very average. It is fairly well located near a tram station, and a few minutes walk to Grand Bazaar, and a few minutes more to some of the other great tourist sites: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Sulemanye Mosque, etc. The hotel was clean, well presented, and the room i had was very neat. it...
