Barbera Hotel

Tucked down a quiet street in Old Town Istanbul, steps from Gülhane Park and a short walk to Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia. Minutes from Eminönü, the Grand Bazaar and the Bosphorus — perfect for sightseeing in the historic city center.

A boutique stay with roughly a dozen rooms that blend retro designer touches with local character — think Smeg mini bars and Etro toiletries. Rooms feature LED TVs, iPod docks, minibars, laptop‑safe desks and private bathrooms; some categories include bathrobes and slippers. By night the in‑house restaurant lights up the street with a graffiti wall, giving the place an edgy, artsy vibe.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Concierge, 24‑hour front desk, dry cleaning/laundry and luggage storage make travel easy. Babysitting/childcare is available (surcharge), and an airport shuttle and on‑site parking are offered for a fee. There’s a tour desk, car rental help and a small library on the premises — and you’re minutes from Bosphorus breezes and park‑side mornings.

Reliable complimentary Wi‑Fi/high‑speed internet and 24‑hour front desk support. Luggage storage and roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) add convenience for work trips.

Taze Meze Bar serves a gourmet breakfast and lights up the street at night. The hotel bar/lounge offers drinks and authentic Turkish meze, with room service during limited hours. Continental or cooked‑to‑order breakfasts are available for a fee (typically mornings).
