Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
La struttura si è rifiutata di accoglierci: la prenotazione era confermata e pur avendo scritto più volte e provato a contattare la struttura, nessuno ha risposto. Il giorno successivo tramite l’assistenza di Expedia, ci è stato detto che alla struttura non risultava la nostra prenotazione e che non intendevano/ non potevano ospitarci. Vergognoso

Ich würde Balat Home auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Die Umgebung war toll. Die ÖV Station Balat war nur 3 geh Minuten entfernt. Es ist von dort aus sehr einfach an die wichtigsten orte in Istanbul mit Öv oder Taxi zu fahren. Es ist zentral, aber man hat immer noch seine Privatsphäre und ruhe. Die Aussicht aus den Fenstern ist traumhaft schöne. Unsere Unterkunft war scharmant und orientalisch eingerichtet. Man hatte Alles was man so braucht zu Verfügung gestellt. Hausschuhe Badetücher Shampoon und Spülung standen im Zimmer bereit als wir ankamen. Die gast Familie wären sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie haben uns den kofer hochgetragen. Wir wären im vierten Stock und es gab kein Lift. Der Hauptverantwortliche redete Gut English was nicht selbstverständlich ist in Türkei. Das vereinfachte uns die Kommunikation.
