The Balpetek hotel is located in Istanbul about 500 m from the historic Hagia Sophia mosque. The hotel is clean, nicely updated, and a good place to stay over lol check in, was very quick and easy at the front desk was very professional and kind the room was comfortable, cozy, and well updated. However, it was a bit smaller than what I was expecting. They have a free breakfast every morning from 8 to 10 AM and it’s actually really good. We have toast, eggs, with cheese, hard boiled eggs, cereal, as well as a wide assortment of cheeses and vegetables. In addition they have a beverage machine serve coffee, espresso, latte, etc., etc.

On Friday 26th September my husband and I arrived late in the evening at the Balpatek Hotel to be greeted by Mohammed the hotel manager. Mohammed welcomed us and gave us some information on Sultanahmet and showed us to our room. The Balpatek Hotel is beautiful, well furnished and decorated and our first evening was very comfortable. After visiting the Grand Bazaar on Saturday we returned to our room to change for dinner. Unfortunately this is where things turned wrong. On looking for somewhere to eat I tripped over a step and pulled my husband down on top of me. I couldn’t walk and was helped into a taxi and taken to hospital where I was operated on for a broken femur. Although we only met Mohammed briefly he kindly visited me in hospital and was so caring. I thoroughly recommend the Balpatek Hotel not just for the location in Sultanahmet, the comfort and decor of the hotel but more importantly for the kindness and total professionalism of Mohammed. This unfortunate incident has not deterred us and we will be back!

Amazing experience. Hotel was so kind and accommodating. Let us check in early and even let us keep our luggage in the lobby since our flight was way later than the check out time. I even made a mistake with booking and they were accommodating and helpful. The rooms were clean and its good location for first time tourists. Price was very good for the great service you get. Thank you so much!

The hotel is very cozy, freshly renovated, snow-white linen, cleaning every day. Very clean. The staff is wonderful, English-speaking, but there were no problems with communication. Tea, coffee available 24 hours a day. Breakfast: eggs, cold meats, cheese slices, French fries, some vegetables, muffins, cookies. The location of the hotel is convenient, 10 minutes to the Blue Mosque at a leisurely pace. I really liked everything! I recommend! 👍

Nothing to report, everything is perfect, the staff are very friendly. A small problem on our last day, the water was cut off due to construction!
