Non mi hanno voluto informare dicendo che avrebbero chiesto che fosse gratuito alla direzione. Tuttavia, all’uscita hanno fatto pagare l’80% di un giorno pieno. Non mi è sembrato serio questo atteggiamento. ##### Claudia Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cem 26 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Otel temizlik anlamında gerçekten çok iyi fakat restaurat çok pahalı.

We had to use the bathroom lights. Informed reception and nothing was done. On the description it says there will be bottles of cold water and an electric kettle in the room for teas and coffee but nothing was there. Dissapointed ##### Fungai Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Impressive service Probably the most attentive, friendly, helpful staff I have ever seen in a hotel. The staff is extremely helpful and attentive to the guests needs. I love how charming the hotel is, but the best part was for sure the staff! The hotel is also located in a great area so people can explore the city walking or via the city trolley. I absolutely loved Istambul and I believe my experience was great and I know that had a lot to do with the wonderful hotel staff. They gave me ideas many times and told me what was the fastest, cheapest way to get around the city. My room was cleaned daily, and I appreciated my free water, with ice too! I was very impressed with my whole experience! Thank you Balin Hotel crew 😄👏 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 12 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Valentina 17 Feb 2019 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Excellent location, but it needs more cleaning. We stayed for 3 nights. The location of the hotel is excelent, less than 2 minutes from Beyazit metro station. There is a mosque in front of the hotel, so if you need more silence, you can ask for a room in the back(no view). Beakfast was good, but you need to wake up early, 8AM is okay, 9 is too late. The hotel in general is in good condition, but it requires more cleaning and some small fixes . In the bathroom floor of the room that we stayed were small pieces of broken glass. The reception arranged to be cleaned on the following day, but it was dangerous as somebody could get a bad cut or worse. Overall we had good stay. 3.5/5 ##### Valentina Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 13 Jan 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The bathroom is unclean, the towels are unclean ,The room is uncomfortable and there is an annoying sound coming from the air conditioner engines ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Olgun 17 Nov 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Aucune compréhension en cas de force majeure Mon avion a été annulé, certes je n’ai pas pris d’assurance vu que j’ai pris la chambre la veille et que j’étais sur d’y aller, je n’ai pas demandé un remboursement mais un report à ma nouvelle date d’arrivee Qu’on m’a refusé, une fois j’ai eu un cas similaire l’hotel Avait accepté de me laisser un solde créditeur chez eux.
