I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Hotel Troya Balat. The vibrant neighborhood of Balat gave it a unique charm, and I loved the cozy room with its modern amenities. Breakfast was a highlight with local delicacies, but I wish there had been a bit more variety in the dining options. Overall, it was a good experience that I'd recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul.
My room was spacious and comfortable, featuring luxurious bedding that made my sleep quality fantastic.
The service was really good; the manager, Mrs. Samiha, was super attentive and made sure I had everything I needed during my stay.
The hotel's location in the Balat area is perfect for exploring the rich culture of Istanbul, and it’s easy to get to many attractions.
Breakfast was beautifully laid out, and I enjoyed the local products, but I would have loved to see more lunch or dinner options.
The hotel itself has a lovely decor and a warm atmosphere, but don't expect pools or spas; it's about the experience.
