Women for Women International conducted a training course for its staff in Turkey and Barcelo Saray - Istanboul was choosen as a good hotel for them. But actually what we found there was excellent services and nice welcoming. They were helpful and the services provided were excellent.

Really good location, close to the Grand Bazaar and even closer to the tram stop. 7 to 10 min walk to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. If I ever go back to Istanbul I will definitely stay in this hotel again. more

We only had 7 days in Turkey, and booked the Barcelo Saray for the first three. However after a brief visit to Cappadocia we chose to return here for the last 2 days of our stay. On both occasions, we found the reception staff (in particular Arzu and Margaux) very attentive to our needs. The hotel is modern style, which... more

All in all we our stay at the Barcelo Saray hotel was "ok". No more, no less. The room (a standard) was very small. And some things in the room felt rather “sloppy”. E.g. the toilet paper holder was almost falling down. On the other hand, the location was good ; rather close to the main sights of Istanbul and... more
