Guest Reviews
- Annely sumberg (9/5): Excellent Hotel. Very pleasant service both at the reception and from the room service. - Excellent Hotel.
Very pleasant service both at the reception and from the room service.
There were also very nice people at the breakfast table.
Ideal location, tram stop 200 m away, it is not a problem for walkers to get to Sultanahmet and the beautiful parks.
I especially recommend taking a room with a garden view, this ensures access to the terrace.
The restaurant where breakfast was served has a beautiful atmosphere and is clean. The only downside is that it is really very expensive.
The hotel could make nice discount to customers, I believe that then they would spend a lot more time there.
The breakfast has a small selection but no one will go hungry. Breakfast could have more variety or at least fresh fruit and greens.

- Logoj (10/5): Recomand! - Un hotel curat. Un mic dejun gustos. Am stat de mai multe ori aici. .
- Hoang Huy (10/5): - Nhân viên hỗ trợ rất nhiệt tình, và gần trạm xe điện,họ còn cho tôi gửi hành lý 3 ngày bay đi cappa.
- Florina (10/5): - The location was excellent, very convenient for exploring the city and close to many attractions.
The hotel did not have private parking but the staff kindly assisted us in finding a nearby parking place. A special thank you to Ms. Tuana, the manager, whose exemplary behavior and kindness made our stay even more special. From the very first day, she helped us a lot with our children and made us feel truly welcome.
The entire staff was amazing — very friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. One of the most touching moments was when they found out it was our daughter’s birthday and surprised her with a birthday cake.
We highly recommend Hotel Balin to anyone visiting Istanbul and we would gladly stay there again. The only negative point was that the hotel did not have private parking.
- Arthur (10/5): Un sejur reusit-care trebuie repetat. - Micul dejun bun si difersificat.Locatie centrala,aproape de obiectivele turistice. Camera sptioasa si dotata cu strictul necesar pentru un sejur. Personalul foarte serviabil condus de o Domnisoara Meneger de nota 10. Merita sa incerci si nu vei regreta. Cu auto se ajunge f.greu-sunt multe strazi cu restrictii si parcarea este la distanta fata de locatie si costa 15Euro pe zi.-dar masina este in siguranta.
- Marina (10/5): Wonderful stay in Istanbul. - We had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel in Istanbul. We booked 3 rooms and one of them was with the terrace. The rooms were clean and beautifully designed, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed delicious breakfasts - they always added some Turkish salads. The location was perfect for exploring the city with the tram stop 2 mins away. The Grand Bazar is around the corner. There are plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby. A lovely experience overall — highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul! The restaurant in the hotel seems overpriced.

- dragos (9/5): -
- Maddie (7/5): Convenient for all the major sites. - The breakfast was excellent, A wide choice, including Turkish specialities and varying each day.
Very handy location within walking distance of The Grand Bazaar, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Galata Tower (40mins) and, if you wanted to go further afield, the tram line.
Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. The attached restaurant was expensive compared to similar nearby places.
- Nerys (7/5): -
- Ana-Maria (10/5): Am avut o experiență excelentă. - Proprietatea este amplasată într-o locație excelentă, foarte aproape de bazar — practic trebuie doar să traversezi strada, ceea ce face totul extrem de comod pentru plimbări, cumpărături și explorarea zonei. Hotelul ne-a impresionat încă de la sosire prin curățenie și atmosfera plăcută. Camera a fost spațioasă, confortabilă și bine întreținută, oferind tot ce aveam nevoie pentru un sejur relaxant.
Un mare plus îl reprezintă personalul, care a fost extrem de amabil, atent și mereu dispus să ajute cu orice informație sau solicitare. Ne-am simțit foarte bine primiți pe toată durata șederii.
Per total, experiența a fost excelentă din toate punctele de vedere și cu siguranță recomand acest hotel oricui își dorește confort, locație bună și servicii de calitate. Cu mare drag ne vom întoarce aici și în viitor! N/A
- Lucie (10/5): -
- Carlos (8/5): Buena ubicación. Cómodo y familiar.. - La situación. Estás a 10 minutos de las principales sitios turísticos de la ciudad. Persona amable y atento. Instalaciones un poco antiguas. La cama, un poco blanda, limpieza aceptable. Desayuno aceptable.
- Akbota (10/5): -
- Andrei (10/5): -
- Carmen (10/5): Sejur placut, ne-am bucurat de oras si de mancare buna. Localnicii extrem de amabili. - Proprietatea aproape de statia de tramvai, se face curatenie zilnic, camera dispune de fierbator si ti se ofera ceai, apa si cafea instant din partea casei. Personalul foarte amabil. Micul dejun bogat, diversificat si persoanele cu intolerante aveau la dispozitie preparate specifice. Totul a fost ok. Nimic de reprosat.
- Diana (10/5): - Locația hotelului este perfectă, personalul foarte drăguți și amabili, micul dejun foarte bun, diversificat, curățenie în camere în fiecare zi, prosoape schimbate zilnic. În concluzie o alegere perfectă pe care o recomand și unde cu siguranță vom reveni.
- Ana (9/5): - Location is perfect. Fortunately, friendly stuff let us make a check in in the morning, so early. I appreciate it 🙏🏻 Breakfast was good. Furthermore our room had an entrance to the beautiful terrace ❤️ Room was too small, a little bit larger would be perfect.
- Miklos (8/5): -
- Patrick (8/5): Ottima posizione per visitare la maggior parte di Istanbul - Colazione ottima e soddisfacente Migliorerei il servizio dei ragazzi che sembravano svogliati. Un complimenti invece alla responsabile della reception e alla ragazza delle colazioni.
- Kristina (10/5): -
- Ahsam (7/5): Good location. Friendly staff. Facilities could have been better. - Perfect location for daily activities and outings. Staff were very nice and accommodating. The room had a distinct smell. The sink did not drain very well however, was manageable and didn’t report it to the staff. AC didn’t work.
- Andrei (10/5): -
- Salim (9/5): - Emplacement, propreté des chambres, service de Messaoud à la réception. Petit déjeuner à améliorer, jus d'orange, la partie sucrée

- Dóra (10/5): Kellemes, szívesen ajánljuk. - Kerekesszékkel is könnyen meg tudtuk közelíteni, közel van a villamosmegállóhoz, mégsem a főútra néz. Nem azokat a szobákat kaptuk, amiket kifizettünk. Második nap kaptunk új szobát, amit eredetileg foglaltunk, de az árkülönbözet attól még nem rendeződött.
- Zorica (10/5): -
- Niculae Florinel (9/5): Manager made the stay great! - I had a very good experience at this hotel in Istanbul.
We arrived late at night and, due to a mistake at reception, we were given a different room than the one we had booked, without a balcony and without a city view. The next morning, I spoke with the manager. She immediately understood the situation and changed our room without hesitation to the one we had originally reserved.
Throughout our stay, she was attentive and involved. Every morning at breakfast, she asked if everything was as expected and if we were satisfied.
I truly appreciate how she handled the situation. She showed respect for the guests and professionalism.
I highly recommend this hotel. I didn’t like that I didn’t receive the room I booked on Booking. It required the manager’s intervention. She resolved it quickly and had a pleasant attitude.
- trekindo (8/5): Excellent location for the tram, Grand Bazaar and essential sites. -
- Gligor (5/5): - Блиску до Капали чаршија, комфорна и чиста соба. Појадокот е ОК со солиден избор....
Мал хотел на мирна локација.
Љубезен персонал...
На неколку чекори од главната улица и трамвајот.
Се на се солидно за добра цена.

- Anaiancu (10/5): -
- Igor (7/5): Good location, good price, ready for overhaul. - Location is on spot. Sound isolation is close to zero.
- BULIMAN GABRIEL (8/5): - Locație bună! Am rezervat o camera la terasa si o camera cu balcon dar când am ajuns am dat peste o receptionera care îmi spunea ca am rezervat camere fără facilități si n-ea dat o cameră cu balcon si una fără . Aveți mare grije si imprimați rezervarea in turca sa nu aveți probleme!
- Onna (8/5): - locatia, facilitatile baii, salteaua camera foarte mica, lipsa spatiu sifonier pt 2 persoane
- Cristian (8/5): Very pleasant stay, very clean. - The location is perfect to get into the city vibe and very clean. The fact that it is very difficult to get to the location if you are driving. We had to leave the car in a far away car parking, and then we had to walk up the hill like almost 30 minutes. Then the breakfast very poor, almost no fresh fruits besides some apples and old dry oranges. Every single day the same, no alternate food, unfortunately. The staff were nice though.
- ANΘΟΥΛΑ (7/5): Τέλεια τοποθεσία, αξιοπρεπές κατάλυμα - Είναι σε πολύ καλή περιοχή που από μόνη της είναι εξαιρετική αλλά και είναι κοντά σε μέρη όπως η αγία σοφία και με πολύ εύκολη πρόσβαση στα πάντα. Το προσωπικό έχει διάθεση να βοηθήσει και είναι φιλικοί αλλά δεν μιλούν αγγλικά και η επικοινωνία δεν είναι πάντα εύκολη. Το πρωινό τίμιο. Θα μπορούσε να είναι καθαρότερο. Στο μπάνιο δεν ήταν όλα τέλεια.
- Stefan Gabriel (10/5): - Personalul Nu este a nu îți plăcea ceva la acest hotel
- Gulyás (10/5): -
- Laura (9/5): Goed hotel - Het ontbijt was echt lekker en gevarieerd. Dichtbij grand bazaar en tramhalte. Kamer was echt aan renovatie toe. Zeker de badkamer.
- Milena (10/5): Jedan od najboljih hotela u Istanbulu. - Predivan hotel na veoma atraktivnoj lokaciji. Jedan od najcistijih hotela u kom smo boravili u Istanbulu. Doručak raznovrstan. Osoblje predivno. Recepcioneri jako predusretljivi. Osoblje u restoranu divno.
Sigurno će ponovo biti nas izbor pri sledećem putovanju u Istanbul. U ovom hotelu je sve predivno. Nemamo bas nijednu zamjerku.
- Dorin Dragan (9/5): Grazie alla vostra accoglienza e disponibilità. - L’accoglienza, la disponibilità dello staff , le pulizie delle stanze giornaliera e impeccabile !

L’emplacement Petit déjeuner à varier un peu plus
- Ahmed (8/5): - The location is excellent, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. These were definitely the highlights of our stay. The mattress was too soft for my liking, and the bathroom was a bit cramped. Another issue was the minibar: it was stocked with drinks that guests are charged for if consumed. I was disappointed to find it wasn't empty for guests' personal use, as I had expected.
- Costin Ionut (10/5): Foarte reușit! - Foarte aproape de bazar. Personalul SUPER SERVIABIL! Nu am obiecții.
- Mohammad mehyar (9/5): - موقع الفندق ممتاز عند الدخول كان الاستقبال جيد جدا ولاكن كان الاثاث في الاستقبال رديئ جدا تخوفت ان الغرف كذالك ولاكن كانت الغرف جيده مع ان المخدات كانت سيأه اتمنى ان يعملو تجديد لاثاث الاستقبال و تغير المخدات
- Amir (10/5): - The location is perfect so as the hotel itself. The breakfast is excellent. And I would like to express my gratitude to the ladies who serve breakfast for being very kind, helpful and professional. Special regards to the hotel manager who cared for all our needs during our stay.
- Celine (8/5): - The location is excellent, 2 min from the tram stop and within walking distance of main sights (blue mosque, bazar, cistern...), staff were very friendly and helpful We were given a different room than we booked but it got rectified and staff were very helpful

- dumitras (1/5): Ne-au stricat tot sejurul.De evitat! - Nimic!!! Am avut plătită cazarea pentru 3 nopți și am renunțat după prima.Camerele sunt foarte mici,nu corespund cu descrierea! Izolație fonică nu exista,se aude și vecinul de peste două camere,cum face pipi sau isi sufla nasul! Au două agregate,montate pe peretele extern,care fac un zgomot infernal. Geamul de la camera noastra,care ar fi trebuit sa aiba vedere la oras dadea într-un perete! Patul mic,iar salteaua și pernele sunt extrem de incomode,băile mici,totul este vechi și neîngrijit.
