Good situated (short-distance from tram station but still in quiet area) this hotel surpised positively with its cleanliness and good value for money. Breakfast was nice too. Staff, however was not too friendly (compared too other Turkish people which I found generally very hospitable) and internet did not work at all time. Room was not too large, but always clean... more

We stayed in the Barin for 3 nights during a trip to Istanbul to celebrate my 50th birthday. Although this is a "no-frills" tourist -class hotel, we found it a great place to stay during our first visit to Istanbul. The location was excellent with the hotel close enough to the main drag (Ordu Cd) to catch the tram/subway to/from... more

I have just spent 4 nights in this hotel and could find no complaints at all. Room was very spacious and quiet. Hotel was clean, and staff were very helpful. Ideally located for walking to Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque etc. Tram stop was just up the road for further journeys. All in all a good hotel to stay in, in... more

The location is good, you can walk to the main tourist attractions or take the tram a few metres away. Rooms and bathrooms are clean. The staff is just correct, not specially friendly or willing to help. We had to change our room twice. Our first room was too small and twin-bedded. The second one had a French bed but... more

This is my first solo trip outside former Yugoslavia, and I have chosen Barin Hotel based on reviews by other people. I made my booking online, and since I had 6 nights, the hotel gave me free two-way transfer from/to Ataturk International Airport, and since this way my first stay in Istanbul, this was really nice! But you should note... more

As I had congress meetings closer to the airport this was perfect location – 5 min to Aksaray metro station that goes directly to airport for only 1.5 TYL. In my free time this was excellent point for going to the old center. If you do not want to pay to much for your meal it’s best you go down... more

Recently I visited the Barin Hotel in Istanbul where I had booked a twin room for single use. This room was very small and I was very glad that I didn't have to share. The bathroom was clean. The breakfast can bestbe described as simple, but adequate for a good start of the day. The staff in the hotel was... more

We stayed at the Barin for 3 nights and found it to be a very clean and a quaint hotel. However, as we were on the first floor, it did get a little noisy when breakfast was served just below us. The rooms had air conditioning and also had hair dyers. Toiletries were minimal so I would take my own.... more

In fact, i visited this 3 stars hotel for 3 nights and i can say that it is the best 3 stars that u can get for 45 Euros/night. The staff is very welcoming. Breakfast good enough. the region is crowded with hotels and its location is near Aksaray Bus station,tram,etc. So its a good popular but not fancy region... more
