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.
Where The balo pera hotel sits
The hotel stands on Balo Sokak in Istanbul, postcode 34435. In a straight line, Taksim Square is about 0.7 km away and Galata Tower about 1 km. Further out, Topkapı Palace and Süleymaniye Mosque are each about 2.4 km, Hagia Sophia about 2.9 km and Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 3.2 km.
Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 31.6 km away in a straight line.
From the 19 m² doubles to the 22 m² triple
There are four room types, all with a city view. The Double Room and the Twin Room are the smallest at 19 m²: the Double Room has one super-king bed, the Twin Room two twin beds, and each sleeps up to 3. The Deluxe Double Room is slightly larger at 22 m², also with one super-king bed and sleeping up to 3, so the difference from the standard Double Room is the extra floor space rather than the bed.
The Basic Triple Room is the other 22 m² option, with one queen bed and one twin bed. No maximum guest count is given for it, so judge it by its beds: the queen and twin combination suits two adults sharing with a third person, or two who want separate beds without taking the Twin Room's two twins.
For a couple, either double works, with the Deluxe Double Room offering the more space of the two. For three travellers, the Twin Room and the Basic Triple Room are the natural choices, differing in how the beds are split.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double Room | 19 m² | 1 super-king bed | up to 3 | city view |
| Deluxe Double Room | 22 m² | 1 super-king bed | up to 3 | city view |
| Basic Triple Room | 22 m² | 1 twin bed, 1 queen bed | – | city view |
| Twin Room | 19 m² | 2 twin beds | up to 3 | city view |
What is on site
The hotel has a restaurant, room service and family rooms, and there is a lift for reaching upper floors. The airport shuttle is paid.
With a restaurant and room service, eating at the hotel is possible without going out, and the family rooms make the property workable for those travelling with children, who are allowed.
Check-in, check-out and children
Check-in is from 14:00.
Children are allowed at the hotel. No pets policy is given.
Who it suits and who it does not
The hotel suits couples and small groups of up to three who want a base with straightforward rooms, a restaurant and room service, and a paid airport shuttle for the long transfer to Sabiha Gökçen. Families fit too, through the family rooms, the children-allowed policy and the Basic Triple Room's two beds.
All rooms are compact, at 19 to 22 m², so travellers wanting generous space should look at the two 22 m² types rather than the 19 m² doubles.
