Guest Reviews

Mahmoud (10/5): -
Ivan (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at Grand Balyan Hotel & Restaurant during our first trip to Istanbul. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive from the very beginning, and they even upgraded our room after kindly considering our request. The room was clean, bright, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere. One of the highlights of the hotel was definitely the amazing terrace restaurant on the top floor. The view was absolutely stunning and made every breakfast and evening feel even more memorable. It was such a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of Istanbul. The hospitality truly stood out and made us feel very welcomed throughout our visit. Thank you to the entire team for helping create such lovely memories in Istanbul. We would happily stay here again!
Simon Elia Dennis (10/5): - die Lage war top das Personal war nett
Giovanna (10/5): -
josiane dubois (9/5): Hotel tres agreable - Tout l'emplacement, le service accueil : Sofia nous a bien conseillés, le personnel du restaurant souriant, la chambre propre et le linge changé tous les jours. Le petit dejeuner copieux en terrasse avec vue sur bosphore. Rien
Giovanna (10/5): -
Diana Oyola (10/5): Calidad de personal que atiende - La ubicación es excelente la atención de Sofi quien siempre nos recibía con una gran sonrisa excelente persona , gracias Sofi por su atención y a la personas de cafetería muy delicioso el desayuno de los días que estucimos Todo estuvo bien
Denis (1/5): REINE KATASTROPHE .!!!! - Sophie an der Rezeption war sehr freundlich.Sonst nichts mehr 1)Die Lage ist wie in den Slums. 2)Das Hotel ist sehr heruntergekommen 3)Es hat nach Abfluss im Zimmer gerochen 4)Die Betten waren zu klein und umbequem 5)3 mal Fenster und nur 2 mal Seitenvorhänge.Sprich in der Früh nicht abgedunkelt. 6)Gesicht waschen im Bad nicht möglich da viel zu klein. 7)Und noch viele Kleinigkeiten 8)Restaurant oben wie in einer Kantine Fettgeruch da gekocht wird an der gleichen stelle wo gegessen wird. 8) Wir haben 4 Nächte gebucht sind nach einer Nacht ausgecheckt. 9) Reine Katastrophe weis nicht wie manche Leute solch eine Bewertung abgeben konnten .Die Fotos wurden so schön dargestellt aber in Echt überhaupt nicht sowie auf den Bildern.Sehr guter Fotograf wir sind sehr Entäuscht.
Stiliyan (10/5): -
Dóra (6/5): - From the balcony, we could see the Blue Mosque and the sea. The view during breakfast was lovely, too. The older receptionist was very kind and helpful. There was a sewage smell in the bathroom. The sink is too small. We stayed in May, and the air conditioner definitely hadn't been serviced yet. We booked a room for four people; there wasn't much storage space. It was fine for sleeping, but it might be uncomfortable for that many people on a longer stay. It’s about time the white towels were replaced. I’d put a little more emphasis on cleanliness and amenities. But it’s acceptable in terms of value for money.
Patrik (8/5): - Snídaňová ter
Karianne (8/5): -
Véronique et Bastien (6/5): -
Mekhriban (10/5): 👍🏻 - 👍🏻 👍🏻
veronica (5/5): Dissapointing. - Nice terrace The rooms are very small and no windows. No coffee and poor breakfast. Complain about going out or moving around in the hotel after 10 pm. Problems with water and very noisy very early in the morning
Edita Masteikiene (9/5): - I liked the view from the roof, it was amazing. I also liked the breakfast The room did not have a window, but for one night it was not a problem
Roberto (8/5): - La atención de Sofía, fue súper amable y nos ayudó mucho consiguiendo un transporte a última hora.
Pacomotard (10/5): - Todo, sobre todo el personal muy amable. Nada todo perfecto
Ibtissam (10/5): Cumplió con todas las expectativas!! - La verdad que todo ha sido mucho mejor de lo que esperábamos, el trato es de 10 , son muy amables y simpáticos tanto Sofia como los otros chicos, y el desayuno riquísimo, si volvemos a Istambul sin duda volveríamos a Grand Balyan Hotel, el desayuno riquísimo!!!
Beata (9/5): -
Louis-Michel (3/5): Prix attractif mais à éviter. - L accueil de Sofia Le petit déjeuné, inexistant. La chambres bruyante au possible. Pas de double vitrage direct sur la rue Il y a un magasin de confection de semelles dessous les employés y utilise le marteau toute la nuit … Bref à éviter sauf si vous voulez être à 10 min de tout.
Andrzej (7/5): - Miła obsługa. Dobra lokalizacja. Śniadania widokiem na miasto i port Telewizor nie działał ale to nie wina hotelu, zresztą nie po to odwiedza się Stambuł by oglądać tv
Qusai (10/5): AMAZING HOTEL - The hotel was located in a very touristy area, the staff Sofia and another guy were very helpful and nice! The breakfast was good too Everything was goos
Tuncer (9/5): Top - Het personeel was zeer vriendelijk. Vooral bij de receptie, mevrouw Sofia heeft ons heel erg geholpen en we hebben leuke gesprekken gehad in de avonden met haar. Ik zou zelf voor iedereen aanraden , de Grand Bazar is op loopafstand en de tram ook.
karina (10/5): -
Mariia (8/5): - Завтрак был отличным, вполне разнообразным. Расположение сначала немного напугало, а потом очень даже было удобным. Прекрасная терраса для завтрака, с отличным видом. Немного устаревшая мебель, но для нас это роли не играло. В общем остались довольны.
Alex Maramzin (10/5): -
Lili (10/5): - her şey çok güzeldi insanlar ve odalar çok kaliteli Bu otele 2. gelişim bir kez daha gelmeyi şimdiden istiyorum sophia çok iyi bir kadın aynı şekilde nergis ve suzan Her şey için çok teşekkürler grand balyan ekibi
Othmane (8/5): - Posizione ottima, staff cordiale e colazione molto buona
Maria Fernanda (10/5): Excelente atencion - La verdad la limpieza perfecta , el personal sobre todo Sofia divina . Si vuelvo a Estambul me alojaria de vuelta sin dudarlo
Gizlena (1/5): I could not sleep and the room was filthy - The location is good, near the Grand Bazar. However, the area looks bad at night The room was filthy. There were hairs in the sink, toilet paper on the floor beside the toilet, and a foul smell coming from the drains. After the first night, I asked for the room to be cleaned. However, the hairs and the odour remained, and I also noticed hairs and residue from products on the shower walls that hadn't been properly cleaned. Additionally, seagulls roosting nearby noisily at night kept me awake. The room was situated beneath the terrace where breakfast is served, and I could hear all the noise from there before breakfast, which starts at 8. As a result, I was unable to rest.
Bilal Annous (1/5): - Very bad location cannot reach to hotel, no parking for car
Alberto (10/5): Consigliatissimo - Il personale dell'hotel è stato fantastico Niente
Eileen (10/5): Perfekte Lage, sehr gastfreundlich, außergewöhnlicher Aufenthalt - Perfekt für einen Aufenthalt in Istanbul. Super zentrale Lage, sehr nah zum Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia & der blauen Moschee. Reichhaltiges Frühstück auf der wunderschönen Dachterrasse mit Blick auf den Bosporus. Das Zimmer war sauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Sophia ist die gute Seele des Hauses und hat uns mit allem was wir benötigten weiter geholfen. Sie war immer da für ein nettes Gespräch und eine tolle Empfehlung. Vielen Dank, wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt bei euch und würden jedesmal wiederkommen! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌙
Alessandra Migliaro (10/5): - Sophie vom Empfang war so nett, wir haben uns gleich wohl gefühlt. Der Blick von der Terrasse ist ebenfalls genial. Man darf auch außerhalb der Frühstückszeiten hoch. Lage ist sehr zentral und trotzdem war es nicht laut. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Frühstück war in Ordnung, aber nichts besonderes. Für den Gesamtpreis aber völlig okay.
Lala (10/5): Çok güzel - Hər şeyi çox bəyəndik, çox təşəkkür edirik ❤️ Все было супер, чисто, вкусные завтраки и самое главное чудесный, доброжелательный персонал. Особая благодарность Celal bey и прекрасным женщинам, которые нам помогали во всех вопросах. –
Carlos Alberto (10/5): Volvería siempre - Quiero destacar la amabilidad de todas las personas que nos atendieron desde el primer minuto de la llegada. Llegamos a las 8 de la mañana con la idea de dejar las valijas y nos diron directamente la habitación y sin corresponder nos invitaron a desayunar sin costo. Es solo un detalle, pero hable de ellos. estaba por subir a mi habitación abuscar un paraguas y me ofrecieron de los que tienen en recepción para estos casos. Para mi todo fe muy bueno. valoro a la gente que atiende y esta siempre dispuesta y de uen humor por sobre cualquier otra comodidad
Jordana (10/5): Great hotel in central Istanbul. - Helpful, accomodating and friendly staff. Delicious breakfast in a top storey dining area with incredible, almost 360 degree, views. Great central location. Comfortable room.
Marius (9/5): - Personalul (doamna Sophia de la recepție foarte prietenoasa și foarte amabila. Ne-a recomandat restaurante în zona și ne-a împrumutat cardul pentru transportul public) Curățenia. În baie( pe chiuveta) încă erau fire de par din barba celui care a fost înainte. Pe mobilierul din baie erau urme de sapun/sampon. Biroul nu era curățat.
PANAGIOTA (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at Grand Balyan hotel in Istanbul! The location was perfect, right next to the tram, which made getting around the city very easy. The view from the rooftop was absolutely amazing! Everything was very clean, and the staff were incredibly kind, friendly, helpfull and we truly appreciated it. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again!
Yassine (6/5): Très bon rapport qualité prix. Le personnel était très aimable mais les chambres peuvent être plus propres et moins humi - L’emplacement et le personnel La propreté dans la salle de bain, la température et l’humidité dans la chambre. Heureusement qu’il y a la climatisation. Chambre très petite.
Eliana (10/5): - Loved the breakfast nook with the view and the room Honestly getting to it is an uphill battle, literally... it's on a hill
Makaruk (9/5): -
Guillermo Gonzalez Marqu (9/5): - El personal! Todos fueron super amables y nos ayudaron en todo con una sonrisa en la cara La ducha, era un poco difícil de utilizar porque le faltaba un soporte.
Cristian (6/5): - El desayuno por lejos No tenía ventana la habitación.
parizzia (9/5): Muy bueno - El desayuno excelente, la calidad y el servicio muy bueno, siempre a disposición de nosotros y todos los huéspedes. Y el lugar de maravilla
Nicola (7/5): Na přespání úžasný , nečekejte velkou kvalitu - Dostupnost k památkám ! Naprosto úžasný místo ! Pokoje jsou malé ale příjemné , jen zdi jsou fakt papírové a pokud máte hlučnější sousedy, nevyspíte se a snídaně katastrofa ale kolem ubytování je toho spoustu
Siham (10/5): -
SHINYA (10/5): 大満足 - 立地はグランドバザール南のＴ1ベズヤット駅から徒歩５分の好立地。外観は昔ながらの古宿に見えるが、部屋はキレイにリノベされ快適。アメニティグッズも充実。なんと言っても自慢のテラスでの朝食が付いているのが素敵。テラスからの眺望は贅沢の極み。一見の価値あり。季節外れの寒さでテラスの窓も屋根も閉まっていたのは仕方がないけど、窓がキレイだと嬉しい。
Eleonora (8/5): -
Mohamed Youssef (10/5): Amazing staff, special thanks to Sophia who is super sweet and nice, good breakfast and great terrace, I really enjoyed - I loved everything Nothing
Maria (10/5): Ambiente acogedor y bonitas vistas en el desayuno - La atención en recepción fue espléndida, Sofía nos recibió con su sonrisa cada día y nos recomendó todos los lugares buenos para comer y visitar. La ubicación está muy cerca de un parada de tranvía que recorre todos los puños turísticos y en una calle con bastante ambiente de restauración si recorres unos pocos metros hacia arriba de la calle. Gracias Sofía!
Natsumi (10/5): - スタッフさんがとにかく素敵で、娘のように可愛がってくれます。タクシーの手配など色々お願いしてしまいましたが、快く引き受けてくれるどころか、温かく見送ってくれました。私はもう寝るだけだったので構わないですが、廊下や周辺の部屋の音はダダ漏れなので、部屋でゆっくり何かしたいときは気になるかもです。浴室の臭いがあるため、ドアは閉め切っていたほうが良いです。
Tamara (10/5): Fantástica elección - Está súper bien ubicado, muy cuidado y es tranquilo. Además, Sofía nos atendió genial y nos ayudó en todo momento. Por decir algo, el baño era un poco pequeño para una habitación triple.
Qaraxan (10/5): - Супер отель.
Olga (6/5): Обновите постельное белье и полотенца, сделайте завтраки чуть лучше, потому что это невозможно есть (там просто нечего п - Очень классный персонал, особенно менеджер Наргиз, помогла с размещением, такси и советами по городу. Номер был небольшой, но уютный и светлый! Терраса огонь, вечером сидеть пить кофе и курить - одно удовольствие. Расположение очень удобное Завтраки, это нельзя назвать завтраками, там даже нет нормального кофе. Там нет ни-че-го. Спасибо Наргиз, которая была очень внимательна к нам и поухаживала за нами в плане кофе и других мелочей. Очень смутило постельное белье и полотенца - их пора просто выкинуть (застиранные, в катышках)
JUAN PABLO (10/5): Excelente calidad-precio - La atención del personal muy, muy buena, especialmente de Sophia en la recepción Mi habitación, aunque tenia una ventana no había luz natural, ya que había una barda muy próxima

Alexandros (10/5): - Our stay was truly wonderful. The hosts, Sofia and Mustafa, were exceptional—always welcoming, smiling, and ready to help. They assisted us with parking and kindly allowed us an early check-in, which made a big difference as we didn’t have to walk around the city with our luggage. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The only small point I could mention is that we would have liked a slightly greater variety at breakfast. However, the outstanding hospitality more than makes up for it, and I would still rate this place 5 stars. We will definitely choose it again, especially because of its excellent location, just 5 minutes from Kapalı Çarşı and the Beyazıt tram station.

ALEJANDRO (10/5): - La ubicación y las vistas desde la terraza del desayuno. El personal muy amable, desde recepción hasta las cocineras del desayuno. Nada, todo estaba bien.
Francisca maria (10/5): Se eu retornar a instabul me ospedarei no mesmo hotel. - Todos sao muito simpáticos e gentis. A localização é perfeita para conhecer os pontos turísticos.
Svetlana (10/5): - We absolutely loved this place! We were welcomed very warmly, the breakfasts were excellent, and the view from the breakfast terrace was simply incredible—truly beyond praise. Sofia and Nargiza, a special thank you to you for your care, delicious coffee, and wonderful attitude. We had a room with a stunning balcony, and housekeeping was done promptly upon request. All the main attractions are within walking distance, and the area near the bazaar is very authentic—you can really feel the spirit of the city here. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel and would definitely love to come back again! 🥹❤️ Наргиза, спасибо от души за тёплый приём и оперативное решение всех наших проблем!🌹

Sergio (10/5): Ottima posizione per esplorare Istanbul! - Ottima la posizione. Ci vogliono due minuti per arrivare nella via principale con tutti i negozi e i ristoranti!
Nyima (8/5): - Alles ist sehr nah am Zentrum und an den Sehenswürdigkeiten gelegen. Außerdem ist Sofia von der Rezeption extrem freundlich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt darf man für den Preis kein 4-Sterne-Hotel erwarten, aber das Frühstück ist inbegriffen und bietet eine gute Auswahl. Das Bett ist komfortabel, allerdings quietscht es bereits bei kleinsten Bewegungen. Zudem ist das Zimmer sehr hellhörig, sodass zeitweise der Eindruck entsteht, sich die Nachbarn befänden im selben Raum. Angesichts des attraktiven Preises und der hervorragenden Lage kann jedoch über diese kleineren Mängel hinweggesehen werden.

Iliyana (10/5): Персонала е много учтив ! ❤️ - Беше окей
Palyvoda (10/5): - Це перебування в готелі залишило після себе неймовірно теплі та приємні спогади. З перших хвилин відчувається особлива атмосфера турботи й щирості, яка супроводжує протягом усього часу. Особливо хочеться відзначити персонал — це люди, які дійсно створюють настрій цього місця. Завжди привітні, уважні і щиро готові зробити перебування в готелі максимально комфортним. Складається враження, що тебе тут справді чекали. Окремо хочу від щирого серця подякувати Софії на рецепції. Це неймовірно світла і добра людина, яка зустріла нас з щирою усмішкою і теплом. Її уважність, доброзичливість і щире бажання допомогти відчуваються в кожній дрібниці. Саме такі люди залишають найтепліші спогади і роблять перебування по-справжньому особливим. У готелі панує затишок, спокій і відчуття, ніби ти не просто гість, а бажаний друг. Саме завдяки таким людям хочеться повертатися знову і знову. Щиро дякую всій команді за їхню працю, щирість і людяність. Ви робите відпочинок по-справжньому особливим.
soso (10/5): - First of all, the hotel’s location is very convenient for getting around the city, and the views from the rooftop veranda are absolutely amazing. As for the staff, they are great—special compliments to Sofia and Nargiza. Warm regards to them from me.
Madalina (3/5): Nu ma mai intorc aici. - Personalul foarte amabil . S-au straduit sa ne ajute cu orice am solicitat Peretii subtiri, se aude tot ce vorbeste vecinul in camera, inclusiv cand face dus . Se fumeaza in hotel, incepand din receptie ; fumul il simti si in somn. Camerele mici, baia inghesuita. Restaurantul destul de saracacios, pozele sunt mult cosmetizate. Am fost in martie si batea vantul in restaurant pentru ca geamurile nu se inchid bine. Micul dejun sarac

Daniielita (8/5): Escapade à Istanbul - L'hôtel est situé à 5 minutes du tram/ grand bazar/ restaurants/ supérettes , ce qui est très pratique. La vue au petit déjeuner est top. Petit déjeuner simple mais bon. Une pensée spéciale pour Sofia à l'accueil qui a été d'une gentillesse infinie. Bon rapport qualité-prix de l'hôtel. Notre chambre pour 2 n'avait pas de fenêtre ( cela donne sur un mur ). Odeur des canalisations dans la salle de bain . Les murs sont très fins on entendait tout d'une chambre à l'autre, même dans le couloir .
Loïc (10/5): nous avons passé une très belle semaine de vacances et nous retournerons dans cet hotel sans hésiter - Les personnes de l’accueil (spécial dédicace à Sophia !) étaient toutes super sympathiques, offraient de bons conseils et informations. L’arrivée au pied de l’hôtel peut surprendre car la rue est très animée et la façade plutôt banale mais une fois à l'intérieur, le calme règne et l'endroit est très correct et propre. La salle pour le petit déjeuner offre une superbe vue sur la ville. Le personnel qui s'occupe du service est adorable ! A quelques centaines de mètres du Grand Bazar et d'une station de tramway, l’hôtel est en plein centre historique ce qui est très pratique pour découvrir Istanbul.
QUDAIH (1/5): مرهقة - مكان الافطار والتراس الموظفة الهولندية صوفيا في قمة اللطافة الموقع في حي شعبي صعب وصول سيارات اليه ضوء الغرفة كان خافت شبه ظلمة الدوش خربان غرفة ضيقة لايوجد خزانة او خزنة.
Mihaela (8/5): Ședere plăcută pentru raportul de pret - Personalul de la recepție a fost amabil si dragut. Camera modernă. Ceainicul de făcut ceai și cafea instant. Am fost cazați la et.4, cu vedere spre mare (chiar dacă fereasta era doar partea de sus a camerei). Mi-a placut că eram aproape de terasa de la et 5. Micul dejun de tip fourchette a fost suficient de variat și gustos. Mi-a plăcut ca poți pur și simplu poți sta la terasă pînă la miezul nopti, să admiri orașul de noapte. Locatie bună, 7 minute pe jos de la tranvai. Lenjerie curată. Chiar dacă am ajuns aproape de ora 12, personalul a fost receptiv si ne-a cazat inainte de ora 14. Per general, as reveni. Lumină din camera juca ca la discotecă. Personalul a spus că vine să fixeze dar așa și a rămas pe durata sejurului. Per general a fost curat dar mobilierul (chiuveta din baie și masa) nu au fost șterse (praf, farmituri).
Karim Naufal (3/5): Good location, terrible facilities - The location is good, the facilities, not so much. If it weren’t for kind concierge (Mustapha), who did his best to help, and the kind cleaning lady, I would have left the hotel and given an even lower score. The windows are a joke - when you open them, you’re just facing a wall. But the worst part is the smell coming from the bathroom; it’s unbearable. If it weren’t for the kind staff who changed my room because of it, I would have switched hotels and given an even lower rating.

Dahmani (1/5): - L'équipe a essayé a nous aider pour changer la chambre ,ils étaient serviables La fenêtre de la chambre était fermée par un mur en face. Il y avait des punaises de lit qui ont piqué ma femme. Les serviettes étaient sales Le petit déjeuner était de faible qualité
Bartosz Lancucki (9/5): - Location and great breakfast on the top floor with amazing view. Really friendly and helpful staff.

Thomas (10/5): Die Lage des Hotels ist gut und viele Sehenswertes sind zu Fuß erreichbar. - Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und waren begeistert, dass die Empfangsdame Sophia sehr gut deutsch spricht und uns viele hilfreiche Infos und Tipps geben konnte. Eine herzensgute Frau Die Dachterrasse bietet einen unverbauten Blick auf's Wasser und die Stadt. Das ist auch der Ort zum Frühstücken und abends kann man gut den Tag ausklingen lassen. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist nicht uendlich groß, bietet aber genug Auswahl. Nicht überall hat man so einen Ausblick beim Frühstücken. Viel Sehenswertes ist zu Fuß erreichbar. Die nächste Straßenbahnstation ist aber auch nur etwa 5 Gehminuten entfernt. Für das öffentliche Netz braucht man eine Touristenkarte, die man an den Stationen aufladen kann. Nur so kommt man durchs "Drehkreuz". Aber zu Details kann Sophia bestens Rat geben. Das gilt auch für alle Fragen zur Stadt.
Tristan (4/5): Personnel très agréable mais pas de fenêtre dans la chambre - Parfait emplacement Pas de fenêtre dans la chambre et très mauvaise odeur dans la salle de bain
Paola (9/5): - Posizione ottima, consente di muoversi a piedi nella zona centrale. Personale molto accogliente e disponibile
Beatrice (10/5): Vacances géniales en famille à Istambul! - Le sens de l'accueil de Mustapha et de Sophia +++++ Ils sont parfaits! Les chambres sont propres, confortables et d'un excellent rapport qualité prix La terrasse sur le toi est exceptionnelle, et le fait que l'on puisse en profiter quand on veut est tellement appréciable.... Le quartier est super vivant et est proche du tram et de nombreux monuments! Vacances en famille super super!

Abir (10/5): Exceptionnel - J’ai passer un très bon séjour, accompagné de ma mère. L’hôtel était super bien placé pour faire du shopping et visiter Istanbul. Les chambre sont propre, niveau qualité prix c’est top. Le point le plus fort de cette hôtel est l’équipe. Ils sont très très gentille, à l’écoute. Je recommande l’hôtel à 1000%. On s’est très bien sentis ❤️
Justina (10/5): - Todo el personal del hotel muy amable, principalmente Mustafa por su hospitalidad y ayuda para resolver cualquier inquietud que teníamos. El desayuno estaba bueno, completo y se sirve en la terraza que tiene una vista muy linda. Nos dejaron entrar antes del horario de check in. La ubicación está buena, pero se encuentra en plena zona comercial. Algunas calles no son tan transitadas y bastante oscuras, pero así y todo nos sentimos muy cómodos.

Jiří (10/5): - Hotel čistý, personál se stará. Dodatečné díky personálu - ochotným recepčním Sofii a Mustafovi, Zuzaně a Negriz, které připravovaly snídaně. Hotel je umístěn v, řekl bych, dělnické čtvrti, nicméně jeho poloha je strategická z hlediska dostupnosti všech zásadních památek - vše jsme řešili pěšky. Další velká přednost hotelu je jeho střešní terasa s úžasným výhledem na Bospor, Modrou mešitu atd. Jednoznačně doporučuji. Jiří M.
Rachel (3/5): Séjour très décevant, conditions inacceptables pour le prix. - Rien de particulier, à part éventuellement la localisation. Chambre insalubre avec présence de moisissures. Très gros problème d’eau : presque pas de pression, impossible de se doucher correctement pendant tout le séjour. Manque d’entretien général et prestations très loin du prix payé. Rapport qualité-prix inacceptable.
Xinming (8/5): Love the experience overall! - I loved the staff, especially Sophia! She was incredibly helpful and made me feel so welcome as a solo traveler in Istanbul. I also really enjoyed the rooftop when the weather was nice - such a lovely spot. Miss it already. Rooms without windows facing outside could benefit from improved lighting. Simply replacing the dim, yellow lights with brighter, cooler lighting would make a big difference; otherwise, the room can feel a bit gloomy during longer stays
Orsolya (8/5): -
clb19779 (10/5): - TOTUL. EXCELENT LOCATION. THE LADY AT THE RECEPTION (NIGHT TIME) IS WOW....ANOTHER LEVEL.... OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! SUPER. TKS A LOT! VERY POOR BREAKFEST! WE STAYED 3 DAYS, THE FOOD WAS LOW AND POOR, ALMOST NOTHING....! SLOW IN SERVING! THE LADY WAS NICE BUT UNPREPAIRED FOR THE JOB!!!!
Liyana (9/5): Amazing stay at Grand Balyan hotel. The views from the roof top restaurant was amazing and what was even better were the - Great location, great breakfast and amazing staff!

Marika (10/5): If you look real local experience, I would recommend - From the first moment felt spirit of Istanbul “spirit if Multi-nationalities”. Nicest Personal, amazing views to the Marmara Sea, amazing location. It feels like a home. Jenal, Nargiz, Susan and Syrian boy you are doing well and you made me feel like at home.
