May 2012, Great location, right across from the university, and the grand bazaar. Steps away from the tram, 10 min walk to the major sites. The hotel was clean, and comfortable. The staff very friendly and helpful. A few problems with the A/C on our first stay, but when we returned a week later, there were no issues. Worth the... More

We stayed at the Barelo Saray which overlooks a beautiful mosque near the University, the Grand bazaar and a number of other attractions. The staff were wonderful & very helpful. The dining room at the top overlooked the city so its a must place for a dinner More

The hotel is just five minutes from there so you can go... More

The rooms are modern and comfortable, the only real downside is that there seems to be no soundproofing - our room was at the front and the noise of the... More

We (2) visited Barcelo Saray from March 12-15 and had an overall very pleasant stay. The staff service, the restaurant, and overall room condition and amenities were very good to excellent. The location is very close to Grand Bazar and across from Beyazit Mosque. We stayed in a room overlooking street scene and enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended. More

This hotel is in a fantastic location near many of the popular sights such as the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar. The staff are very friendly and accomodating, and the prices are reasonable. Our room was a standard double, which was fairly compact, but did not feel like a compromise. Entry to the hotel's own Hamam was free, but... More

No complaints with the hotel or the room. Staff very helpful, standard modern, clean rooms. Good Turkish breakfast and hamman/sauna etc is an added bonus at the end of a long day sight-seeing. More
