The hotel is clean and quaint, with a delicious breakfast buffet and a nice restaurant. It is in a great location to walk around in the historic UNESCO area of Fener and Balat. Our room was small, but had a lovely view of the golden horn. The pillows were great too!

Great value for money. It's a popular dining spot so it does get noisy but I loved the old room, cleanliness of the place, excellent friendly staff.

Old style feel in one of the coolest neighborhoods in Istanbul. What else can you ask for - the breakfast is amazing and the manager Cemilah is super accommodating. The tavern-style seafood restaurant on the bottom is packed every night

Historical Hotel in Balat, good restaurant
It was a good choice of hotel in the Balat, where I was able to explore the neighborhood. The manager was able to get me a room with a balcony and a view of the Bosphorus, which was what I requested even when it wasn’t available in the app. The Greek restaurant downstairs was excellent, it was always busy for lunch and dinner. The free breakfast was sufficient.

The hotel was great, but just small bathrooms and no lift. Service was good and staff was helpful, but if you have big suitcases then its a big struggle to go to 3 rd floor on stairs. Breakfast was super tasty and good variety. Views of the bosphorus are great from 3rd floor rooms.

The kindness of Ms Sehima, the owner and the total staff is incredible and rare these days.
Also the neighbourhood Balat / Fener is very interesting and beautifull.

Sadly we were just there one night and had to leave before breakfast.
But we wanted to visit that area, and found a fantastic restaurant just two doors away. Evelik. One of the best we've been to.
The golden horn waterway is right across the street for a great walk and views.
Transit station also very near.
We would definitely consider returning for a longer visit.

What a beautiful hotel. It's old and feels like stepping back into time. And waking up to the view of the water every day was wonderful. It was so convenient to walk to the restaurants and shopping of Balat and I loved that it was across the street from a tram stop! It made it sooooo convenient with my daily trips to the other side of the straight. The staff spoke great English and buffet turkish breakfast was served every morning til 10:00. I would definitely stay here again!

Very clean Facility. The staff was wonderful. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Except that the cleaner didn’t change my bed sheets every day. Maybe the cleaner was overwhelmed by her workload and she forgot to change the sheets for 3 days. She did make the bed but the sheets remained the same.

Two nights in Istanbul.
Room was on 3rd floor with no lift. Also it was so small, that it was difficult to squeeze onto the balcony. But there WAS a balcony with a fantastic view, a kettle and coffee, warm water, A/C, nice people and very clean. And a tram and a ferry practically at the doorstep. Nice, colourful (litterally) neighbourhood too.And not expensive.

The staff at the Troya Hotel Balat were kind and welcoming. I had a third floor sea view room with a great view. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet. Lovely little neighborhood walking distance to shops, dining, the colored balat homes, a park along the water and Fatih Mosque.

The location was perfect...very close to the train stop at Fenner. Very fresh and delicious breakfast every morning. I was assigned a room that smelled like cigarette smoke but they moved me to a non smoking room immediately. I did reserve the balcony room but glad I didn't get it since it was up several flights of stairs so I remained on the first floor but it was loud with diners below and people walking upstairs above me. The first night it bothered me but then I was too tired to notice the following nights. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Very close to the balaat area for dining and shopping. I would definitely stay there again.
