Spent 2 nights here with my wife. Very cozy and quiet hotel. A sanctuary after the bustle of Istanbul outside. Location is just a stone throw from the Grand Bazaar. The service is excellent. All staff are very attentive and warm. I would single out Nil the sales manager and Davut at the counter as examples of service and professional... More

I stayed in Balin Hotel for 6 nights. The Hotel is very clean and in an excellent location to all sightseeing. But the rooms are tooo small and they have very basic and same breakfast everyday. By the way It is fine to stay here.

Location: Located across the road from the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar, everything located in one area, couldn't have asked for a better location. The Hotel: Absolutely first class! So clean and tidy we thought we had the wrong place for the price we'd paid. From the reception area... More
