A nice accommodation in Balat
Pros:

The hotel is more like a guest house. The energy in this accommodation was really good. The owner knows English very well, and he is such a good-hearted person. The lady who prepared the breakfast was ADORABLE. And the breakfast was varied, big, and delicious. There are adorable cats in this hotel, and they are silent and playful.

The internet was fast, the location was good, near good local restaurants with good prices, and a 3-minute walk to Posa Specialty Coffee Roastery.

The beds were comfortable, the sheets were clean, and the room was clean. The bathroom was nice also.

Don't expect 5 stars or luxury, expect good energy, nice vibes, an amazing owner, and friendly staff.

There was a link at the sink, but this can be fixed, and didn't bother us. Be aware that there is a mosque nearby, and around 4:30 a.m., there is a prayer. Bring earplugs, and you will be fine.

Pros:

Приветливый персонал. Нужно быть готовым к тому, что кошки обитают прям с ресепшена. Ходят по диванам и присутствие шерсти . Рядом ( в зданиях по соседству) как минимум 2 мечети. Спать придется с перерывами тк громкоговоритель начинает вещать с 4.30 утра примерно... Звукоизоляция слабая

Cons:

Слабая звукоизоляция. Пахнет кошками при входе в гостиницу.

A lovely experience
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and even helped us carry our suitcases up to the room, which we really appreciated. They were very kind and attentive throughout our stay.

We also loved the charming cats and dogs on the property, made the atmosphere even more cozy.

The location is excellent, within walking distance of the Balat district, making it very convenient for exploring the area.

Overall, a lovely experience, and we would definitely recommend this place to others!

Pros:

Был отличный персонал, который с радостью нам помог разобраться во всем.
И рекомендуем брать трансфер из аэропорта через отель. Так как внезапно поменялась погода и такси стало х2, а паромы не ходили.

Pros:

С первого, по последний день были в восторге от отеля, особенно понравилось добродушие и отношение Хозяина отеля Мурата и его помощницы Наны, замечательные люди 😍
Всегда спрашивали нет ли никаких проблем, нужно ли что либо, всячески решали вопросы и помогали по мере возможности. В номере есть все необходимое, даже очиститель воздуха.
Так же очень понравилось местоположение отеля, район пропитан колоритом Турции, все что может вас привлечь находится прямо возле отеля. Рядом отставка со всеми видами транспорта, которые едут по всем ключевым локациям, так же рядом много бюджетных кафешек, и магазинов по типу BİM и Sök маркет.
Намерены возвращаться именно в этот отель ❤️
