The hotel is very well located. A short walk takes you to the Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque or Hagia Sophia. If your destination is Galata, the tram has a stop a few meters from the hotel. The Havaist bus to the international airport is also within walking distance. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious, and are impeccably clean. We arrived 3h before check-in time and were allowed in without any additional payment. The hotel manager is very friendly, dedicated and efficient, always ready to solve any problem that may arise. Good value for money.

It would be great if they offered more fruit options for breakfast.

An amazing hotel, it is very clean and comfortable. The staff are so helpful and accommodating and service is with a smile. The location is amazing within a few steps of Beyazit tram station and grand bazaar there is a very slight hill but only a few steps and not an issue even with my bad knee. Breakfast was good and I saw staff being accommodating. Even to late comers. I highly recommend this hotel, for price, location and above all the service received from all staff. This was my second trip to Istanbul but won't be last.

Nothing at all

cleanliness, location, breakfast, staff, reception, the lady manager was very supportive, they have a lift, shisha, good turkish coffee.TV in the room with a variety of channels, minibars. staff speak good arabic and good english in addition to turkish. Very suitable for families, this is my second time choosing this hotel and i will choose it again in the future.

the double room size was a bit small with a good street view the twin room size was accurate as in photos, but with a view to wall. sounds from the next rooms can be heard. More flexibility in cleaning time by cleaning personnel, was resolved when we talk to the gentle lady manager. i personally don't like minibars in the room and i like more the small fridges.

Great location! Beyazit Tram, Mosque and Grand Bazaar 3 mins walk away. The staff at Balin Hotel are Superb! Going above and beyond for help and Custome Service. The care provided for my family and especially my 83 yr old father who has poor mobility was exceptional. The staff such as Marjan and Zarina were so helpful to us and particularly my father, it really made an excellent stay. The manager Miss Tuanna Cakir has an excellent understand of customer service and and will always help and do whatever she can to accomodate. The personal help provided by Tuanna was exceptional, looking after my family so well. Thank you so much also for my 50th Birthday cake!❤️ it was a Superb stay. See you soon! Also the restaurant connected to the hotel at front is exceptional and convenient. The Manager and his staff are so helpful and provide great food and customer service! - The Monarch Lounge.

If I had to say one thing, and its not really a negative but...Maybe the rooms were a little small and also showers, but overall more than enough.

Staff were very friendly and helpful , cleaning everyday , location was very good , room size was ok , wifi was also good

Hope they improve their breakfast

Perfect location. The entrance is beautifuly decorated. The room looks great and the bed is very comfortable. Toilet smaller than expected, but big enough. The breakfast has enough options and is very fresh. By the way, the coffee is delicious! Excellent team, they are professional, polite and friendly. Lovely people, it was a pleasure to stay.

People smoking at the terrace next to our window. The pavement needs to be improved to facilitate the entrance for disabled.

Excellent location. Only 3 mins away from Beyazit tram station. Manager was very attentive and made sure to attend to any needs. She brought food for my kids at breakfast and ordered to provide baby chair as soon as she saw my wife and kids coming to breakfast hall.

Although I booked 2 double Superior Rooms but I was granted only 1 room big room and other was very compact. Only 1 person can walk towards the door. I requested to provide a bigger room but was told once available you can check and move. Despite this I spend my entire 6 nights stay at the same room since. This was the only negative thing which we experienced.

Location is great, quite place without noise even if its in center, comfortable rooms, breakfast very good and delicious. Stuff very polite,ready to help,nice and chatty, from nice and friendly stuff at breakfast room to cleaning ladies and guys at reception.They can serve as an example how to make guests feel welcome and how to keep high level of tourist city hotel.Thanks everyone for making my short vacation very pleasent and cozy.

The only small minus is wall isolation.I had bad luck to have very noisy neighbours in room next to mine.Good thing is they were gone the next day.

The staff were amazing, especially Zarina and Wahid, on reception. Everyone was welcoming and so helpful. The hotel was in the perfect location. It was easy to walk to some of the main attractions, such as the Blue Mosque. Staying at the Balin Hotel was like staying with family. We felt really sad when we left. We have told all our family and friends about Hotel Balin.

We liked everything ♥️

Fab breakfast. Great room with balcony. Staff very helpful and cheerful couldn't do enough for us Big thanks to the 2 lads on the deck at reception really helpful with information and arranging taxis.information on trams and ferries. well done. Special thanks to the manageress Tuna. She knows how to treat her clients and give them everything required. She also went beyond and arranged a birthday surprise cake with all the staff singing Happy Birthday. Highly recommend this hotel.

No complaints everything was perfect
