Very good service from the people working in the hotel and restaurant. Also the restaurant is a great place to have your dinner! The hotel is situated in the Balat area, a very nice area with many restaurants and coffee shops '
One side of the hotel is faced towards a very busy road, this means a lot of noice for 24 hours per day as the hotel windows are not insulated. Also in the rooms not everything is working....
La vue, le service, l'accueil
Le bruit de la rue, le petit déjeuner
Hotelul Troya Balat este preferatul nostru din Istanbul, un hotel plin de istorie, confortabil si cu priveliște minunată spre Cornul de Aur.

Cordialidade do staff
Beautiful little room, great hot water and water pressure. Wonderful breakfast. Very walkable to Balat area.
とても美しいホテル 清潔 美味しい朝食
階段がきついけど仕方ない 荷物が重いと1人で運ぶのは無理 ほとんどのスタッフは感じが良いが、1人愛想のない男性が居る
Great location for us when we needed to rent a car and then leave Istanbul the next day. I loved being on the Golden Horn! The bed was super comfortable and the rooms beautifully appointed. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were both very good.
Not really. The road is a bit noisy but it is a major one- I would have spent more time on our balcony otherwise.
Very friendly very clean
No lift
Отличный отель! Уютный номер, окна выходили на воду - Золотой рог. Все необходимое в номере имеется, уборка каждый день. Завтраки хорошие, однообразные, но все есть, овощи, фрукты, свежие соки. Персонал очень дружелюбный. Ресторанчик при отеле, еда вкусная, обратили внимание, что местные его с удовольствием посещают. Вечерами сложно найти свободный столик. Кто любит небольшие и немноголюдные отели, этот отель подойдет. Плюсом цветные домики и улочки самого Балата.
Отличное расположение, приветливый и вежливый персонал, уютные ретро-номера. Внизу отличный греческий ресторанчик (видимо, очень популярный среди турок, поскольку вечерами он полностью забит, так что места надо бронировать, но это легко если живешь в этом отеле). Тихий, аутеничный район на берегу Золотого Рога.
Нет лифта.
Struttura molto tipica. Bellissima posizione.
La mancanza di un ascensore anche se dalla tipologia di struttura è capibile.
The hotel has a wonderful feel, full of history. It's an old Greek home. The rooms are very elegant and comfortable, amazing finishes, looked recently refurbished. The restaurant has an amazing atmosphere, in a beautiful setting. We had a delicious dinner there with many locals which is a good sign. The lady at reception was very personal, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was outstanding, the best we had in our three weeks in Turkey. Location was perfect, overlooking the Golden Horn, many Istanbul sights walkable.

Очень атмосферное место. Отличный вид из окна. Обстановка в номере дает возможность почувствовать, как жили в Стамбуле несколько десятков лет назад. Но при этом с современным комфортом. Прямо за отелем находится резиденция Вселенского патриархата. А также множество кафе, ресторанчиков и магазинчиков. Рядом также есть небольшой продуктовый магазин, в котором есть все необходимое, в том числе фрукты. По району приятно прогуляться вечером после окончания экскурсионного дня. Прекрасный отзывчивый персонал. В день заезда предложили завтрак бесплатно. Завтраки по-домашнему вкусные. Разрешили оставить пакет для друзей, которые заехали за ним в наше отсутствие.
Все было хорошо.
Очень уютный отельчик, куда действительно хочется вернуться. Находится в старинном здании. Светлая и уютная комната , в которой есть всё необходимое. Прекрасный балкон с великолепным видом на набережную. Также на дорогу, но ночью шумно не было. Спалось просто великолепно. А так, отельчик находится у довольно оживленной дороги, но для крупного мегаполиса это стандартная ситуация. При отеле замечательный греческий реторанчик. Всё было очень вкусно. Завтраки там также очень понравились. Чистота на уровне. Шикарное расположение в плане транспорта также. Кроме автобусной и трамвайной остановок поблизости есть паромная станция (откуда очень удобно добираться до Каракей и Кадыкей). Расписание есть на двери станции. Приходить желательно заранее.
Excelente localização e funcionários
The breakfast was awesome. The variety and quality of the food was excellent. The view of the river from the balcony was really nice. The availability of plugs was perfect for recharging our devices. The room temperature was nice and we could control it if we needed to up or down. Loved the extra blankets in the closet to throw on top to sleep warmly. The Mattress was super comfortable. The proximity to convenient public transport right outside the front door was nice.
The bathroom arrangement was tight but doable. Very small sink area, with no place to put things. The shower fixture was broken, so we had to hold the wand in our hand to rinse off. They were apologetic, so, I am sure it will be fixed for the next guests. The room was tight, with very little room to talk around the bed and spread out our things. The windows were thin and the room faced a busy street, so we listened to traffic noise as we drifted off to sleep, and then were woken by the call to prayers at 5 AM in the morning.
The breakfast was great so were the people. The restaurant was clean and great food great service. Barba Vasili is the name of the restaurant. The location for the Greek community is excellent walk 2 mins to Greek Ecumenical St. George church.
It is not that we did not like, but for people with disabilities you have to emphasize that that there in no elevator. And the place has NOTHING to do with the fact that the "TAXIS" ARE A RIP OFF. TAKE LIC PLATE AND TAXI COMPANY. THEY SHOW YOU ONE THING AND YOU COME HOME AND IT MIGHT BE 3 TIMES AND EVEN MORE CHARGED TO YOUR BANK. AND THE GRAND SCEME THE CREDID CARD MACHINE DOES NOT WORK OR INTERNET NOT WORKING ONLY CASH. YOU SHOULD CALL THE POLICE.....ADVICE PAY ONLY CASH FOR TAKSI/TAXIS IN TURKEY.... COME TO THE ROOM ONLY TO FIND OUT AFTER YOU PAY THEM CASH, THEY CHARGE YOUR BANK TO. OR THE FRAUD DEPART. SENDS YOU AN ALERT. NOW YOUR CARD IS BLOCKED. WE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO TOLD US THE SAME THING. AND WE TURKEYS ECONOMY IT IS WORST. THE AIRPORT SERVICES ARE GREAT... Thank You D.L.
The hotel was excellent, the location unique! The owner, Semiha, was extremely kind, willing, helpful.The breakfast is rich, with a wide variety of local products.We will definitely stay at the same hotel again when we visit Istanbul again. Thank you!
The only problem for me was the stairs, but it was a minor problem compared to the advantages of the hotel.
We spent two lovely nights at the hotel and loved every moment. The staff were incredibly welcoming and the location was perfect for those who want to visit the Ecumenical Patriarchate. We're definitely coming back!

Very good Hotel. Nice personal.
L’accueil et le service
Soucis de Clim mais la direction a vite réglé le problème Le petit déjeuner pas assez variée
I had a lovely stay at Hotel Turkey during my work visit to Kadir Has University. The staff, especially the women at the front desk, were very kind and helpful, even assisting me with arranging a taxi to the airport. Dinner was amazing, and the breakfast was light, fresh, and well prepared. The hotel has a charming old-style aesthetic that I really enjoyed. I would definitely stay here again.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Very good restaurant. Good breakfast. Right near the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate. It is not a luxury hotel but very pleasant and adequate.
Labai stilingas, gražus viešbutis, šiltas, draugiškas personalas.

Excellent location - easy to use the trams to get to tourist destinations. Breakfast each day was fresh and delicious traditional Turkish style. Staff were friendly and helpful. Also enjoyed some evening meals in the restaurant. Great value for money!

Quiet, comfortable, kind staff, made me feel like a special guest.
The atmosphere matched old Istanbul.
I liked the location. The neighborhood is safe and has many historic sites and transportation is accessible for the metro and ferry.
I liked everything about the property, especially the kind and attentive staff.
Очень интересный интерьер. Вкусные завтраки, отличное расположение. Очень доброжелательный персонал гостиницы.
Atmosfera, amabilitatea personalului și amplasarea
Разположението.
На първо място стаята, която беше дадена, уж за удобство на родителите ми, която се оказа над ресторанта и кухнята. Изключително шумна, с никаква възможност да спиш. При направено оплакване на сутринта беше сменена, като се опитаха да ме убедят, че едва ли не никой, никога не се е оплакал от шум, а през нощта е било кошмар за нощуващите там. Персонала в ресторанта, изключително неприветливи и груби, особено младото, високо момче.
Wonderful staff, couldn't do enough for you. Breakfast just lovely, had meal in hotel which was just great, lovely food and very nice wine selection. Bierol and Angel you know who you are.

Spotlessly clean and distinctive rather than a standard hotel, with a 1930s vibe. Conveniently close to the T5 tram station. The bed was comfortable and the on-site restaurant is very good. Fener and Balat cafés and restaurants are within a five-minute walk.
We didn’t mind that the hotel does not have an elevator, although some guests might find it inconvenient.
Le personnel , la dame à la réception , l’endroit
La salle de bains trop petite et inconfortable
La estancia en éste hotel fue excelente,con mucho gusto volveremos más.
Завтрак- шведский стол. Сыры, оливки, яйца, разные намазки, сладкое. Расположение мне нравилось, около остановки трамвая и автобуса, но я гуляла до центра вдоль Золотого Рога 40 мин. Хозяйка очень гостепреимная, номер чистый, есть всё необходимое.
Можно было бы немного сезонных фруктов
Η θέση, η εξυπηρέτηση και φιλική συμπεριφορά της ιδιοκτήτριας και του προσωπικού. Πολύ ωραία θέα. Στάση τραμ μπροστά.
Δυσκολεύει η δικαιολογημένη λόγω παλαιότητας του κτιρίου έλλειψη ανελκυστήρα.
Great location looking out to the Golden Horn, close to cafe's and restaurants plus the colourful houses. Public transport close by. Very vintage, which I loved and why I chose.. Mini fridge and coffee and tea making facilities. Breakfast spread is similar to all Turkish breakfasts. The reception person was very friendly and helpful.
Totul + gazdele de nota 10

Excellent location with a beautiful view of the Bospherous. Aircon working great especially in the summer heat. Hotel manager was most welcoming and accommodating. All round great experience.
No elevator and our room was on the 3rd floor.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Troya Balat in Istanbul. The owner, Samiha, was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my stay (6 nights). Her warm hospitality and personal touch made me feel right at home. As a boutique hotel, Troya Balat offers a unique and charming atmosphere that sets it apart from larger chain hotels. The decor is stylish and cozy, making it a delightful place to stay. The breakfast selection was fantastic, offering a wide variety of delicious options. The hotel's location is perfect for exploring Istanbul. It's situated in the vibrant Balat neighborhood, with easy access to public transportation. Overall, Hotel Troya Balat is a gem in Istanbul. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and friendly boutique hotel experience.
Historical building renovated perfectly. Stairs are a bit steep for elder people and for those who have heavy luggages.
charming
Excellent stay at this boutique hotel, Awesome breakfast.
Small room with little space to store clothes.
I really enjoyed my stay at the Troya Balat hOTEL - I felt like I was staying in a large, family house. TheTurkish family who own and work at the hotel were so friendly and the location is excellent - right on Fenner and Balat with lots of artisan coffee cafes! Nearby, is the tram and right opposite are the waters of the Golden Horn. I'm looking forward to returning soon.
It was all good!
We had a short overnight at this special older hotel . No elevator and beautiful curved staircases. Our suite faced the Bosphorus and although the bathroom is small it was very adequate. Staff is lovely and very accommodating. Good Turkish breakfast . Location is excellent .
The room was well appointed and lovely. It was very close to the heart of Balat (which I adored), the Bosphorus and the tram station…. and the staff were extremely kind, interesting and proud of their district. Especially Seminha! Love her! Oh! And the water pressure of the shower was surprisingly powerful!
We tried to eat in the restaurant, but we’re too late as the kitchen started closing up at 9:30. It was more our fault, though,as we came late. The wifi was not accessible (an issue that they were trying hard yo fix).
Friendly staff, good breakfast, fine restaurant on premises. In the heart of the Fanar district, close to action. Recommended.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast spread was varied and quite delicious.
Everything!! It is such a beautiful old hotel, decorated fabulously. The owner and staff were so welcoming.
Like all!!
I really enjoyed this place, I had very cosy room with sea view, staff was nice and helped me with different requests and problems. The breakfast was fresh and tasty. The location is also very comfortable. I would like to stay in this hotel again.

Great location and great breakfasts
I loved the hotel and the location, great touches.. and the guys at the hotel were amazing.
The hotel is an absolute treasure. I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful staff.nothing was too much trouble. We had a suite with a balcony overlooking The Golden Horn. The traffic noise is not a problem, double grazing and heavy curtains,we slept well. The restaurant has supurb food and the buffet breakfast is the best I have encountered in all my travels.
Everything was great…the place is central and the rooms are big..the breakfast was amazing u find everything u want..the staff is helpful and big thank to the really nice lady Semih who runs the hotel so good and professional
Very good location. Beautiful view from the window. Nice and hospitable personnel 🌹
Stairs, but it’s okay. They help with luggage
A Boutique bliss in the Golden Horn This hotel is truly exceptional. Nestled in a prime location, it boasts stunning views of the Golden Horn and is just a short walk from tram and bus lines. The retro-inspired décor, both in the building and its interiors, is a delightful touch, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. The hotel's impeccable hygiene and cozy breakfast area create a welcoming atmosphere. The friendly and accommodating owners add to the overall charm. Without a doubt, this hotel is a fantastic choice and comes highly recommended.
Cozy small hotel; good breakfast; helpful staff.
Restaurant downstairs very busy on weekends so noise carries to the rooms.
very nice comfortable stay in a lovely neighbourhood of Istanbul. the rooms were very charming with a roustic decor. staff was friendly. the area is absolutely lovely
no major dislikes, but maybe the hotel should put a sign on its front door (facing the river) to make checking in at night a little less confusing. it's a dark road and when I arrived to the front door it appeared to be a separate restaurant not attached to the hotel. I therefore had to walk around the block to reach the back entrance which was a bit scary alone in the dark.
Authentic Greek style room, cute neighborhood
