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. ##### Martínez ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Sep 17, 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel Balo nie wieder Unfreundlicher Empfang,Badezimmmer wie im Mittelalter,man duscht in den gesamten Raum, so das alles mit Wasser überflutet ist,keine Zimmmerreinigung und Keine frische Handtücher drei Tage lang ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Carl Aug 6, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Trevlig hotel Trevlig personal speciellt "Adam", mycket trevligt och hjälpsam person.

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. ##### Verified traveller
