My stay was quite a mixed bag. While the staff, especially Mr. Serdar, were warm and helpful, I encountered several issues with cleanliness that left me disappointed. The hotel's location in a dark alleyway didn't feel safe, and noise from the traffic was a persistent bother.

Rooms

Unfortunately, the room cleanliness was lacking. There was a smell from the drain, mold in the shower, and traces of someone else's toothpaste on the glass. The overall tidiness didn't meet my expectations.

Facilities

While the facilities appeared new, they didn’t quite match the quality I hoped for. The jacuzzi advertised was too small for comfort, and some aspects of the room, like the balcony door, were problematic.

I had a mixed experience at Balance Hotel Taksim. The staff, especially Mr. Serdar, were incredibly helpful and friendly, but the location in a dimly lit alleyway was a bit unsettling. While my room was clean and the facilities appeared new, there were issues with cleanliness and noise that detracted from my overall comfort.

I had a wonderful stay at Balance Hotel Taksim, enjoying the beautifully designed rooms and the helpful staff. The location is ideal for exploring Istanbul, just a short walk from many attractions. However, the hotel does sit at the end of a dark alley, which might not appeal to everyone. Overall, I felt comfortable and appreciated the personalized service, particularly the delicious breakfast.
