Dears,
The day we arrived the hotel was full and we were shifted to another one located nearby. The day after we were accomodated back and we stayed the rest of our trip in Barin. Room facilities were very poor i.e. bathroom tips, no hot water kettel, room TV inconvenient located, adjacent room was not given to us... We were not happy about this choice but booking wise we have no complaint at all. recommend that Venere or delegate shall inspect hotel status on routine basis.
Regards,
Raouf
This was my second stay at Hotel Barin, and again it provides a quality accomodation, definitely a step up from budget hotels but without a big increase in price. The rooms are very clean and reasonably sized, the bathroom is also a good size. The in-room air con. is excellent.
The only downside to Barin is that the location is slighty difficult to find initially - even though it's only a few tram stops (Aksaray stop is nearest) from the historical center, the side streets of the neighbourhood can be confusing at times, and a bit chaotic, but feel quite safe all the same.
This is not a traditional Turkish hotel or one with great views of historical areas, but if you want a comfortable place to stay not far from the main tourist areas, with an excellent price vs. quality, then it's hard to beat.
