Hotel n'est pas digne de son nom

Décevant par rapport au prix de la nuitée les photos publicitaires n'ont rien à voir avec la réalité , le restaurant est fermé . Pas d'accès pou les handicapées La chambre 101 a des fenêtres qui donnent directement sur un restaurant voisin impossible de les ouvrire le rideau doit rester fermé. A ne pas conseillé.

Tek Adres

Sık sık İstanbul'a seyahat eden ve özellikle lokasyon olarak Taksim,İstiklal, Beyoğlu,Galata hattını genel olarak tercih eden birisi olarak; rezervasyonlarımı gönül rahatlığıyla yaptığım, her defasında memnuniyetle ayrıldığım, hatta o güzergahta rezervasyon yaptığım tek adres olan bir otel.. Güler yüzlü personeli ile buluştuğum her yeni konaklamamda birbirimizi ismen de tanır hale gelmiş olmak memnuniyet verici...

Perfect hotel for a conference in Istanbul

Excellent location, 5 minutes walk from both conference venue and Taksim Square. Room had WiFi, AirCon, good bathroom, very clean. No breakfast but breakfast at nearby Ada Cafe highly recommended. The only drawback was next door nightclub, very loud music to 3 am. But I had no difficulty sleeping.

لا يناسب العائلات

الفندق سئ مش عارف كيف يقال عليه 3 نجوم ولا يساوي نجمة واحدة.رائحة الدخان تملأ المكان.وصوت المقاهي والنوادي الليلية مرتفعة ليلا.لا يوجد تنظيف للغرف خلال فترة إقامة 3 ليالي.والتليفزيون لا يعمل وابلغتهم مرتين ولا مبالاه.هو المكان يعتبر مميز لقربه من تقسيم والاستقلال . لكن لا انصح به خاصة للعائلات

Horrible experience

Beds are dirty and full of hair. Room dusty. AC not working, dirty lenin, filthy towels. The neighborhood is not safe!

The Staff was the only good thing at the hotel

It was just 1 Room for 6 Person and the room was very small and no one had enough space to feel comfortable. It wasn't even clean there. Furthermore you couldn't sleep because of the music of the clubs at night.
Orhan, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

nice hotel for all day out of hotel travelers

room is clean. smell is nice, it is compact but enough for use. near to the center of city. only you may recognize sounds of Disco musics due to surrounding cafee bars.

Balo Hotel, location location.

I stayed at Balo Hotel for 6 nights. The hotel is centrally located near Taksim Square, Istiklal Avenue, Galata Museum and public transportation like the ferry and subway. The staff are polite and accommodating, specially Adam, and the rooms are functional and most feature a mini fridge. This place would not be your best choice if you are a light sleeper and mind the noise as there are many bars and discos around and you will no doubt hear them even if you don't want to. Other than that, it's good value for money and it makes a great spot to explore Istanbul and its many allures.

Good Service

It is a good hotel, with good rooms, good breakfast, and good location. The only problem is the loud music, that goes on until 5am. If you want to go out partying this is the place to be, but if your looking for a quiet nights sleep look elsewhere.
