My stay at the Balo Hotel in Istanbul was enjoyable due to its central location and the helpfulness of the staff. The rooms were clean and equipped with modern bathrooms, making my stay comfortable. However, the noise from nearby nightclubs can be bothersome if you're not a nightlife enthusiast.

My stay at Hotel Balo was quite an experience. The vibrant location near Taksim Square was fantastic, but the loud music from the nearby clubs kept me awake until the early hours on several nights. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Aylin, at breakfast. though I wished the amenities were more comfortable and the breakfast options were a bit better.

I had a mixed experience at Hotel Balo. While the location was excellent, close to vibrant nightlife and local attractions, I had some significant issues during my stay. The cleanliness of the room and modern bathrooms were a plus, but the noise levels and problematic staff interactions left much to be desired. Overall, I appreciated the convenient access to the Taksim area, yet I wouldn't recommend this hotel due to the lack of hospitality and some basic amenities.
