Barida Hotels

The staff is very friendly; The room was large in size and had a good view and relatively good but old equipment; The bed was not very comfortable; Breakfast was very ordinary and the hotel restaurant was old-fashioned

Disappointing is the word to describe our stay at Barida Hotels in Isparta. Nothing like the luxurious relaxing break suggested by the hotel and booking site web pages. There were some positives. The hotel is on a main road into Isparta from the north so it is easy to find. There is a large underground car park with direct lift access to reception. The lift does not go to the upper floors despite the buttons being there for those floors. This is positive for security. Staff offered to bring our car from the car park. It is easy to walk into the centre of Isparta and the bus station is 100 metres from the hotel, as is a large shopping centre which has a range of eateries. The room was large and the bathroom had adequate towels and cleaning products. Powerful warm shower. Kettle and coffee with bottled water in the fridge. Clean room and bathroom. But... The top floor restaurant with the al la carte menu and long range views was closed. The indoor swimming pool was only usable for a few minutes as both air temperature and water temperature were cold. The steam room was also too cool for comfortable use and there was no water to place on the coals in the sauna. Staff remembered to charge for swimming caps before using the pool, which was fair enough, but staff did not offer towels nor advice on the available facilities. We even had to ask for directions to the changing rooms. We booked a room with 2 beds, but we were given a room with one bed. The non-smoking room was confirmed at reception, but our room had cigarette damage to the furniture. The small of cigarette smoke was so bad that our clothing stank of smoke when we returned home. There was one set of slippers and robe in the room for 2 people. There was information about TV channels in the room but no other information about the hotel. Changing temperature on thermostat made no difference to air conditioner / heater and warmth of the room. The room key was needed to activate the lifts to go to floors with bedrooms which is a good think, but the system did not work in one of the lifts. Breakfast was usual for a Turkish hotel and all was buffet with no eggs cooked to order, that I would expect at this price point. Sausage mixed with egg so no vegetarian egg option. Soup, salad, cheese, cold meats and pastries all good. Waiters served water to some tables, but not to us and after obtaining water for one person, none was offered to the other guests at our table. We are clearly foreign guests, but we speak some Turkish. Service advice not given in any language. English spoken at reception. Overall it felt like the staff lacked training and care. On our next trip to Isparta we will stay elsewhere.

The hotel is super, Also if you have a little one year Old. The room was very clean with all you need in the junior suite. The indoor spa facilities are excelent ! And you get free Acces to it all as a guest in the hotel. The breakfast is delicious and have a very broad amount of options. The personal are very friendly and helps you with whatever you need. Very glad and I will definitely be back.

Great location for seeing the town centre, shops, restaurants and parks. Main road has shops that sell rose products as well as salon that advises on skin care with complimentary facial if you buy any products or ask for skin care advice. Also good for starting point to see the villages famous for growing damask rose which blooms May/ June The hotel has good breakfast and spa facilities. Not really five star standard but great location and hotel has own car park.

Confition is not working, tecnik is not coming. Very durty! Brekfast were poor.

It’s amazing hotel, very clean nice location friendly staff and excellent food, the only problem was the internet, if they sortout it will the hotel in town. Thank you Barida Hotel

It looks like it used to be grand. But inexperienced personnel. No air conditioning and no way to fix it. Same for the other rooms No knowledge about tours in the area like rose or lavender fields ( thats why we where there) They took too long to bring food in the restaurant. Great location

The hotel staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating... Initially there was a slight mix-up about our room, and we were given a room with only 2 beds (1 full and 1 twin) though we booked a room with 1 full and 2 twins online. When I approached the desk clerk to request a different room he was quick to try to help and called over the manager (who speaks English) to help as well. In the end we were given a room with enough beds for our family and the manager went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. There are at least 3 dining venues on-site, and we chose to eat at the "Roof Top" restaurant which once again was clean, friendly has a beautiful mountain view and the food was good too. The breakfast was as expected including the standard Turkish Khavalti fare with eggs, bread, cheese, fruit, yogurt, tea, coffee, juice and much more. This was a 1-night stay so we didn't have time to take advantage of any of the many other on-site amenities such as the pool or spa, so I can't comment on the quality or service there. Overall I would recommend the hotel, and would come back again.
