How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
About 0.7 km from Taksim Square, 31.9 km and 31.7 km from the airports
Hotel Balo is in Istanbul, about 0.7 km from Taksim Square and about 1.1 km from Galata Tower, both in a straight line. The major sights sit a little further out: Süleymaniye Mosque about 2.4 km, Topkapı Palace about 2.5 km, Hagia Sophia about 3 km and Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 3.3 km, all in a straight line.
Both airports are roughly equidistant. Istanbul Airport is about 31.9 km away and Sabiha Gökçen International Airport about 31.7 km, in a straight line. Neither is close, so allow for a road transfer either way.
One super-king bed and one sofa bed in five room types, 25 m² or 30 m²
Every room at Hotel Balo carries the same sleeping arrangement: one super-king bed and one sofa bed. The choice between the five types is therefore one of floor area and outlook, not of beds. The two 25 m² rooms are the most compact; the three 30 m² rooms add five square metres of floor space. The Junior Suite with Garden View looks onto the garden; the Suite with Balcony has its own balcony. The other three types have no stated view or outdoor feature.
For two adults, any of the five types works, and the 25 m² rooms are sufficient for a couple who spend most of the day out. The sofa bed means a parent and child can share a room without booking a separate family room, though family rooms are also available for those who want more space. The 30 m² rooms suit guests who want a little more room to spread out, or who plan to spend evenings in.
| Room type | Size | Beds | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| Junior Suite with Garden View | 25 m² | 1 super-king bed, 1 sofa bed | garden view |
| Superior Suite | 30 m² | 1 super-king bed, 1 sofa bed | – |
| Penthouse Apartment | 30 m² | 1 super-king bed, 1 sofa bed | – |
| Standard Suite | 25 m² | 1 super-king bed, 1 sofa bed | – |

A spa, sauna and fitness center, plus room service and a lift
The hotel has a spa, a sauna and a fitness center for guests who want to exercise or unwind after a day out. Room service delivers meals to the room, which is convenient for late arrivals or early departures. A lift serves the building, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children.
Check-in from 14:00, check-out by 12:00, children allowed, no pets
Check-in opens at 14:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed.
Who it suits and who it does not
Families with one child: every room has a sofa bed alongside the super-king, family rooms are available, and children are allowed. Couples: the super-king bed and 25 to 30 m² of space suit two adults without issue. Travellers who want a spa, sauna and fitness center at the end of the day will find all three here.
It does not suit guests travelling with pets, as they are not permitted. It is not well suited to groups needing separate bedrooms, since every room is a single open space with one bed and a sofa bed. Travellers who need more than 30 m² of room will not find a larger option.
