Çekmeköy Holidays

The terrace was spectacular and the food at the cafe there was very yummy. The only issue we had was upon arrival at the Galataport terminal we were expecting a transfer to the hotel. I had emailed the hotel months prior to make arrangements and get a quote and then after waiting 40 minutes hailed a quote which charged us 5x what we should've paid and didn't drop us in front of the hotel. We were told on artival they don't do transfers from the port, but i have emails that quote a price. On our morning of departure, after 2 confirmations, front desk called our transfer service to find out they hadn't sent anyone and it was a last minute rush to get out the door. Staff were friendly and apoligetic for the misunderstandings which were probably solely from language barriers. Room was clean. Hotel was half a block from the Blue Mosque!

Thanks so much Barcelo Istanbul we had best time best comfortable week and for sure will be back. Thanks to sadettin he was perfect cleaning our room. And making sour stay perfect. Thanks so much again and again.

Hotel staff was wonderful. Easy to communicate and friendly. Free parking is great.

Hotel was great and so was the staff, the only down side is that the hotel was located around a bunch of auto body shops and nothing around the area abd requires you to take the metro to another area just to walk around.

We absolutely loved our stay. The Penthouse suite had amazing views of Istanbul. We managed to spot some of the iconic buildings such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Galata Tower. The beds were so comfortable and overall the 4 bedroom suite was more rhan adequate for a family of 5. .
