It is good located and convenient business hotel in old European part of Istanbul. It is ease get most of see sights by public transport or even by walk. The receptions always ready to help you and they help you to make some reservation for interesting events.Good things: The professional personnel, especially the reception desk guys. Bad things: Hotel's old equipment and furniture.

A very convenient location in the busy street in european part of town catering for group tourist.Near to major attractions , like blue mosque, hagia sophia ,topkapi museumPlenty of cafes and shops around the area and near to a modern shopping complex.For the breakfast not much of variety and after staying for three nights you wouldnot want the same breakfast to be served again.The front desk officer was not that friendly but the porter was kind.

During our recent trip to Istanbul my wife and I spent two nights at this hotel. The "Berr" seems to cater primarily to groups and as such appears to be a typical tourist hotel. It is conveniently located at a busy street in the European part of town and close to the major attractions such as Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi and the other museums. Although kind of small the rooms are basic with comfortable beds and ok bathrooms. The European type breakfast was tasty but nothing special. There are plenty of shops, pastry places and cafes just outside the hotel. For those with a sweet tooth try the pastry shop half a block up the street towards Sultan Ahmet Mosque. It served the best pastry of any of the little cafes to which we have been in Turkey.

I stayed at Berr Hotel twice this year (June and July) and found the property to be of great value with a service-driven culture. It is located steps away from the metro which links the area to the airport (about 5 minutes walk to the metro station and 20 minutes to the airport by metro). The property is also very close to various buses and a tram . Taxis are available in the area and reasonable. You cannot go wrong with the location as it is in a safe area that has a great variety of shopping and dining outlets. It is also minutes away from the major tourist attractions (e.g. Blue Mosque, Ayasofia, Kyra, etc.). Do not misled by staying in Takssim. The Fatih area (where the hotel is located) is much more authentic, cleaner and is of much better value.The hotel is fairly furnished (some rooms are more updated than others), very clean, with friendly and efficient staff members. I found the mattress comfortable, TV has several channels in various languages, the AC system worked very well, the bathroom has good amenities with clean towels.The breakfast area is well managed with a great variety of items ot select from. The hotel, overall, is well managed with great staff members. I highly recommend the hotel and the area.

I had no complaints with the hotel originally but that was because my boyfriend had done our checkin the previous afternoon and I had not yet dealt with the insufferable man working reception.It was our last day and since it had snowed the night before, we wanted to fit in a fast stop at the Blue Mosque before our airport shuttle picked us up- Blue Mosque under the snow, right? Well I made this very clear to the man at the desk and told him we would be returning for the 2:00 shuttle (the airline had arranged the shuttle with the hotel and it was paid for by the airline included in our stay). Well, we arrived back at the hotel by 1:45 and proceeded to wait in the lobby for our shuttle. At 2:10, my boyfriend went to ask the man and reception about our shuttle. His response was they had already come and gone and that we had not been there so he had told them to leave! Firstly we have been very adamant that we were at least 15 minutes early for our personal shuttle, yet the man, who knew very well who were were and what we had been waiting for, didn't tell us one word and had watched us sitting there with our shuttle having already left at his request!! Then he tells us the next shuttle isn't for several hours, meaning we would miss our flight and that we would have to take a taxi, paid for by us, all the way to the airport, which would cost a fortune!I decided to take matters into my own hands, going up to discuss with him myself. I was just barely able to keep my cool as he continued to smile at me in this sinister, fake way, refusing to give me information, and saying OVER and over again it was our fault we missed our shuttle! Then he starts questioning me whether or not my boyfriend and I are married and if it is appropriate for me to be traveling as an unmarried woman, giving me these strange looks and making noises under his breath!!!!!!!!!! Excuse me?! He continued to be totally misogynistic, condescending, and just an insanely annoying person until FINALLY I was able to make him admit that there was another shuttle coming in just a few minutes!!! All of that had been for absolutely nothing- just his sick pleasure of getting me worked up and putting me down for my "marriage status"! Wow...You may be wondering I have given them three stars after all of that. Well the room wasn't horrible and I liked the neighborhood. It was snowing and the streets were empty save for some kids throwing snow balls and playing. It was quite atmospheric and felt like a place where people actually live not just a tourist's area. The wait staff in the restaurant were so helpful and pleasant, they really really treated us great and made such an effort for us to enjoy our stay. Just nice, friendly guys all around.I have no idea how often that... man works at the reception desk but Berr Hotel would doing themselves a great disservice in keeping him as the face of their establishment.
