This is an excellent location in Balat, three tram stations from Eminonu, very close to Galata and main walking street, perfect spot for exploration od the city. Hotel Troya is nice, clean little hotel with very good breakfast, helpful and very professional staff. We recommend it.

the sounds from the room above as it is an old building with wood floors, but it is understandable and was not a big issue

The room decor and the views. The location is great as well.

Stayed in December 2023

Room was too small and no elevator. Because of the old wood floor, it was a bit noisy from the room above.

The lady manager was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was very good especially the bread and Maniman -the egg dish. Location was very good near the tram and view was good too.

We all loved Mr Sinapoglou who speak in Greek and he give us a lot of information about the city.

We arrived early and unfortunately there was no flexibility regarding an earlier check in time.I had notified them in advance and they'd told me this wasn't possible but as I had no wi fi connection I hadn't seen the message.

A very stylish, comfortable establishment with the most outstanding breakfast.Lovely rooms and a trendy,interesting nighbourhood with great cafes and restaurants nearby.Easy access to old town.

Make sure you get a room towards the back - sea view is not recommended due to the main road in front of the hotel. It is very noise and never gets quiet at all. The bed matrices should be renewed.

The Hotel gets you in a time warp - the nostalgic design is lovely. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The room was good but a little bit small - since we were out all day, it didn't bother us. The food in the restaurant is really great (greek cuisine). The breakfast gives you everything you need without being fancy. The location is easy to get to since bus and tram steps within 2 min walk. The area "Balat" is lovely, do not miss a visit bearing all the other main tourist areas in mind - it is just a 5 min walk behind the hotel.

The score is not 10 only because of some cleaning issues. Small carpets near the bed and in the toilet were a little bit dirty. Looks like they better need to be replaced for the new ones.

Very beautiful location of the hotel, right near the Golden Horn and a tram line (beautiful view). Great location regarding main touristic districts, good transport connection (the route we used from/to IST airport is M11+M7+T5). Great breakast in the 1st floor restaurant with the view to the Golden Horn which is very beautiful. Antique building which is very enjoyable to stay at. The room is full of different antique accessories. An only disadvantage is tight spiral stairs (but the personnel helps you to move your baggage throught these stairs). Polite and helpful personnel.

Excellent atmosphere in the centre of cultural Balat area. Great view from the Golden Horn facing room, nice to sit on the balcony (3rd floor room). Great breakfast and very friendly and accomodating staff

We loved the hospitality rendered by all the staff, friendly, accommodating and helpful.... It was like our home away from home. A quaint style hotel with semi spiral stairs(no elevator) but we did not mind at all. The sea view rooms we had were just awesome as sitting on the balcony overlooking the Golden Horn and the road below was fun and we loved it. The breakfast was good, we just loved the fried sausage...it was tasty. The Barba Vasilis restaurant with its vibrant atmosphere and the amazingly delicious food is a must to dine at...Divine. The location is great and especially the surrounding neighbourhood of Fener with its many sidewalk shops, bistros, colourful painted homes and historical sites. This is just a short walk down the road and must for all visitors. This area is a hidden gem in Istanbul... it is cultural, stylish and shopping a bliss as it is not crowded nor expensive.

So nice and romantic place to stay. Kind hosts, direct view to the Golden horn from the window. Gardens and landmarks, St. Stephen Church nearby. Tasty food for breakfast, easy access to public transport. Love it and very much looking forward to staying there again.

We paid 60 euro which was good value. We wanted to book longer but noticed the price has increased significantly. It is not worth more.

Lovely hotel with historic feel. Friendly staff with reasonable English. Nice view from the balcony. Unbelievably great breakfast spread. Perfect location. Fener ferry stop just across the road.

Everything was perfect.

Hotel Troya Balat is a beautifully restored 123 year old home with many features from the period and new work is period appropriate. It’s an absolutely charming hotel and I am sorry that I couldn’t stay longer. It is within sight distance of the Fener ferry stop as well as the Fener tramway stop on the T5 line which made it very easy for me to get there from Söğütlüçeşme train station and also very easy to get to the M11 metro line to the airport. The breakfast was absolutely exceptional. Easily the best breakfast offering on my month long trip. And the staff were uniformly polite, friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10.
