Location
Point Hotel Barbaros is situated at Yıldız Posta Cah. No:29 in Esentepe, approximately 8 km from Istanbul’s historic Old City and 19 km from Istanbul Atatürk Airport. The hotel is about 1.5 km from Yıldız Palace, a late 19th-century Ottoman site with gardens and museums. Nearby dining options include Bambi Cafe just 90 meters away, Sky Bar at 174 meters, and Ozcanlar Kofte at 240 meters.

Good location. Room is tidy. Good customer service

The hotel is close to a metro line, a major highway and some business districts. The good dining options within walking distance are limited. One major disappointment was the mould in the bathroom. The hotel is packed with patients from some hospitals nearby. This makes the hotel calmer and less noisy, but you can bump into many wheelchair patients, full-gear nurses, etc.

5 yıldızlı bir otelin otopark ı olmayıp cadde üzerinde ki çalışanlarına yüksek ücretle mecbur bırakıp aracınızın anahtarı olmadan da teslim almayan bir rezil durum.Aracınızı kendiniz ispark'a veya sokağa bırakmak zorunda kalıyorsunuz.Neden 5 yıldızlı otel burası o zaman.

It was a great stay and a great hotel

I was there because of May Clinic and the surgery I had with them.
The hotel was calm and quiet, clean with very nice attentive staff.
I had no room service but lots of sudden and not timely housekeeping services.
The ladies were patient and clean and caring. I had to ask them to change my bloody bedsheets after each visit from my nurses one more time each day and they were friendly enough even at those times.
I even once asked for a housekeeping service while the ladies were not there and soon a lady came in and happily changed my bedsheets which I am pretty sure it was not that easy and pleasant. They all were amazing.
Breakfasts were very exciting and full of international and traditional Turkish choices with the best Simits you can find in town.
The meals were very expensive but very delicious and good quality.
There are three things to improve though.
1. It would be nice if we have Tissue boxes and toothpaste in the rooms and also a usb port on the walls for the chargers.
2. In our room the were scum under the shower door and lots of stains on the carpet and the carpets in the corridors. It would feel better if they are all cleaned.
3. There are plenty of people in your hotel from other countries so it would be very effective and welcoming if the staff could speak English and we could communicate with them verbally.

The room was clean and very large, but the rest of the hotel was disappointing. It’s very run down, especially the gym and pool area. There aren’t any disinfectant wipes for the gym equipment and the locker room was in a condition that made me not want to use the sauna. They have Pilates reformer, but not for individual use and no one could tell me how to book with an instructor.
The other disappointment was cigarette smoke coming into the room from the central heating/cooling.

Stayed for a little over a week in mid December.
It's situated on a busy road in the financial district - about 40 mins (ish) from both airports but not close to any tourist attractions.
Rooms were of a good quality. Modern and well kept, we were pleased with them. Checkin was also quick and efficient.
Service was mostly good. Room service was excellent. Sometimes ordering at breakfast was tricky and we frequently didn't get what we ordered. This could be a language issue and some of the staff serving clearly didn't want to be there.
Breakfast on the 18th floor was a mixed bag food wise. Great views of the surrounding area though.
Biggest complaint that at night it was super noisy on the main road (4 nights out of 7) and even 1 night of an event at the hotel and guests being rowdy.
