Hotel Troya Balat

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.

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.

Excellent stay at this boutique hotel, Awesome breakfast.

Small room with little space to store clothes.

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 dinner was amazing fish!!!! Best I had in Turkey

No elevator but they helped with luggage. So that really helped.

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.

Full of character hotel in a beautiful and handy location.Wonderful staffMarvellous in house restaurant "Barba Vasilis"

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

A Boutique bliss in the Golden HornThis 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.

Very good location. Beautiful view from the window. Nice and hospitable personnel ?

Stairs, but it’s okay. They help with luggage

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.

If you want to live the real Istanbul don’t miss this place! Traditional style with all comfort, the food is delicious and the staff is very welcoming and kind. The position is very good, you can easily reach every part of the city with the public transportation.

Staff extremely friendly and helpful - you feel that you are visiting friends in their house. Room with Old World charm. Nice in-house restaurant. Excellent location to walk to nearby Ecumenical Patriarchate (and numerous other Orthodox Christian heritage sites) and Balat neighborhood (coloured houses). Very good value for money.

No elevator in the hotel. Road reconstruction in front of the hotel.

The location is perfect. A few steps away are both the metro and the ferry. There is a park across the street with benches to watch the birds, the people and the Bosphorous. Everything of interest in Balat is within easy walking distance. You can get anywhere in İstanbul easily from the hotel.

I am able to walk up and down stairs, but it is not the hotel for those who can’t do stairs. There is no lift/elevator.
