Our stay in Istanbul was simply unforgettable! The Balin Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. The rooms are very clean, and the old town, including the Hagia Sophia, the bazaar, the cistern, the Bosporus, the ferries, and many other opportunities for shopping and dining, are about a 5-minute walk away. The tram that goes to more distant neighborhoods is 3 minutes away from the hotel. We were particularly impressed by the first-class service – the staff is always friendly, attentive, and helpful. The breakfast is diverse and authentically Turkish, with fresh specialties every morning.
The location of the hotel was perfect. After a long day in the lively city, the hotel was a true oasis of peace and relaxation. The restaurant offers delicacies in many variations. Enjoying the first coffee on the terrace in the morning before the lively city captivates you... unforgettable!
Anyone visiting Istanbul who values comfort, cleanliness, hospitality, and a prime location is in the right place here. We would come back anytime and can recommend this hotel 100%!
