The Barcelo is a lovely hotel with a very nice dining room. The breakfast was the most extravagent buffet I saw in Turkey - everything one could imagine, including scrambled and fried eggs, sausage, bacon, every imaginable kind of fruit, waffles, pancakes, etc. We stayed here as part of a tour, so I can't speak to value for money because... more

Stayed on 5th floor, we were 4 adults in 2 rooms. We booked B&B. The hotel staff were always helpful and courteous. Breakfast was plentiful, with a good variety that changed slightly each day. The rooms were clean and towels changed daily. Water pressure was excellent. Safe included with room. Spa was clean and pleasant. We ate in the hotel... more

Good hotel, not expensive, a little far from the touristic zone but with all the facilities you need more

Barcelo Eresin Topkapi was beautiful but a bit pricey. I stayed for a few days coming from San Diego California. They coudn't find my reservation right away but they tried to accomodate me. Some of the reception spoke English which was great but lack of communication on my reservations which was booked. I loved the breakfast and the restaurant. The... more

The hotel is located within the old city walls of Istanbul, but it is by no means anywhere close to the city center. There aren't many restaurants around, but it's only saving grace is that the metro stop is directly in front of the hotel. There are three computers with free internet access on the 2nd floor. Ask for a... more

We have had a really nice stay at the hotel. The staff was very helpful, particularly the responsible for public relations, Mr. Kizil. Our room was good, after we managed relatively quickly to get it changed to one with views on the avenue (not noisy). The restaurant was excellent with a big variety of different food and tasts (European and... more

Usually where I'm staying during vacation constitute a big chunk of the vacation experience, therefore Barcelo Topkapi as a hotel adds little to the overall experience. (-ve) The breakfast is identical daily (for 7 days) (+ve) The staff can comprehend English. (-ve) I requested hot water and they charged me for it 5YTL=4$ (+ve) The health club is different, but... more

This is a beautiful property. It is equal in quality to the five star hotels in the main tourist areas but the price (because of its location) is much better. It has a very nice spa. I highly recommend that you indulge in the traditional Turkish soap massage. For tourists, there is no doubt that it is out of the... more

We stayed here only 1 night. It was a pleasant experience. The rooms are nice though a little dated (eg. the hair dryer is old & not very powerful, the minibar is still extremely over priced in a way that few hotels are nowadays). The location is also a little out of the way & not within walking distance of... more
