This was a pleasant and comfortable hotel with good staff. And lovely Restaurant next door. The beds are rather hard. The hotel organised an expensive trip on the Bosporus. Coming back the guide was unhelpful with our disability and lost us which left us with a very difficult journey back to the hotel.

Attenti al conto

Alla fine ho chiesto un late checkout (3 ore in più) e chiesto quanto sarebbe costato. 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.

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 😄👏
