Guest Reviews
- tinamO5988KS (10/5): we came from outside . - well done!Mehmet is briliant🫶🏼
- adamm891 (8/5): Great location. Brilliant food. - Excellent location and restaurant. Recently stayed here for a conference and couldn’t be happier. The location is ideal for accessing the old town and new areas. Clean, comfortable and hotel staff great. The highlight was the restaurant and views of the Bosphorus. The food is absolutely brilliant and the desserts are next level.
- reetac2023 (10/5): Excetional and Outstanding - We stayed here for a long 4 day trip . Location was great with lots of local places to visit and eat . Easy access to dinner cruise which is highly recommended . Hotel is clean and staff very welcoming . Want to say special thanks to Ibrahim and Huseyin for looking after us. As a member of the hotel club they allowed us a later checkout . Thanks again
- robertsG4305NT (10/5): Great hotel with a great view - We always stay at this hotel on our visits to Istanbul. The rooms are the perfect size for a short stay. The hotel is close to many and various ferry terminals and it is right in the centre of Istanbul's nightlife. The new art museum is just a short walk away. The breakfast is probably one of the best hotel breakfasts we have had in many a year and the view from the dining room is superb. We had dinner in the restaurant one evening and the fish was so succulent and tasty. Our stay coincided with my birthday and the hotel left a lovely cake in our room on the day. You don't get that very often.
- U3648ZAyasmineb (6/5): I am sorry I chose this hotel . - The rooms cleanliness is a serious disappointment. The carpet is old and stained as were the blankets. The bathroom and room were cleaned only superficially and amenities were not not replaced such as laundry bag or tissue. They have very limited staff for cleaning and service and often fail to respond unless you call the operator .
- meema683 (6/5): Novotel Karakoy - The hotel was great really clean and luxurious, i liked my room so much ( except for the view it was horrible) but the room was really comfy clean quiet and great place to take a rest. Also i liked the breakfast buffet i wish there were more Turkish food there however I really liked the breakfast and the view was insane great way to start your day, the only thing I didn’t like about the hotel is the front office staff they’re really act like they don’t have the time or energy for the guests and they refused to give us a late checkout at the time we requested
- goodtogetareview (10/5): Excellent location , great rooms and superb food. - First time in Istanbul and this hotel was an excellent choice. Great rooms, quiet, clean and spacious. The breakfast in the roof top restaurant was excellent and the variety on offer was superb. We dined in the Murver Restaurant and would highly recommend as the service and quality of food was first class. Location is spot on to allow you to walk to everywhere (get your steps up) or to catch the tram which is pay wave , so super easy to use.
- kristofredei (6/5): Great stay - scam taxi - The hotel is great, with clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, a nice little sauna and steam room. The breakfast buffet is delicious and abundant! Unfortunately the end of my stay left a very bad taste - I asked them to call a taxi for me in order to avoid scams. They did call one, and the driver promptly proceeded to try to scam me at the end of the ride ("can't show you the fare because I already turned the meter off, but trust me this perfectly round number is what it said"), with the hotel reception offering little assistance when I called them for help. I understand if it's almost impossible to find an honest cab driver in the city, but I'd rather you tell me so than connect me with a scammer.
- cazzascorp (10/5): Very enjoyable stay - We stayed here for three nights at the end of our holiday in Turkiye and really enjoyed it. The hotel is pleasant and appealing and is very well located right at the Galataport which is very handy for cruises. The hotel is also just a few minutes' walk to the tram stop which will take you to the many and wonderful attractions the fabulous city of Istanbul has to offer. The hotel staff were friendly and pretty helpful, our room was very comfortable and there are a variety of restaurants onsite - they are a little pricey however. The breakfast buffet was quoted to us a 32 euro per person which seems very expensive to us to be honest and we did not eat breakfast there. The cafe at the front of the restaurant has good quality food, but the service is very slow. However If you don't want to eat at the hotel restaurants, there are plenty of very good other options close by. We appreciated the free 1 hour later check-out and the friendliness of the lady who serviced our room - she always had a friendly and welcoming smile. It's those little things that can make a hotel stay feel extra memorable. There is a swimming pool onsite although we did not use it. I would recommend this hotel.
- katherinepalmer (2/5): Would not recommend - Awful experience in room 220 as woken up by nightclub out side hotel until 2 am. Paid for a bottle of champagne as a birthday celebration which was requested to be in room upon arrival which it wasn’t and had to call reception to get it. Several power cuts in room after using their iron and vastly overpriced for their facilities. No bar open in hotel downstairs area and separate facilities for spa area as not mixed it has to be male or female facilities so therefore cannot enjoy the spa experience in the sauna or steam room with your partner. All in all would not recommend
- Kevin (10/5): - Room was great. Staff were all helpful Balcony overlooking the canal was nice to sit at and have a few glasses of wine Hotel is vary central and close to several restaurants
- TesayL (10/5): Must stay here. - The staff are so attentive and helpful. The hotel lobby is gorgeous. The are is safe. The rooms are very clean. We stayed in the executive rooms where is was quite and away from the traffic noise. The beds are nice and firm. I am disappointed the shower was a high tub that you have to climb up and over to shower. But other than that I highly recommend staying here especially for those who are going on a cruise. The cruise ship is a 7 min walk away. I also loved that the elevators come fast and provide a smooth ride. The breakfast buffet included with our stay was amazing spread.
- wael helmy (6/5): - Not worth it ! Rooms are very closed no way to breathe ! Window view underground
- Scott (10/5): - We loved our two night stay! Wonderful accommodations! Hotel staff is helpful, friendly and the area is safe and bustling! Istanbul is amazing! Thank you Novotel, Istanbul for a lovely stay!
- Dennis (10/5): - Novotel is a great place to stay if you want to be near everything. Lots of shops and restaurants as well. Old city is very accessible for sight seeing, shopping and dining around Galata, Taksim and Istiklal is very easy to do as well. Hotel was super clean, quiet for a nice restful sleep after a long day. Amenities were fabulous too! Will definitely stay here again when I visit Turkey again.
- oleg (10/5): - Clean. Comfortable
- joe (10/5): - Staff at check in great! Luggage staff were great as well and very helpful.. The overall staff were very informative, friendly and helpful!
- entetravels (6/5): Better to check directly with the hotel, don't depends on app description - The location was excellent, and the environment was both clean and friendly. The staff demonstrated professionalism, and the availability of a luggage scale and wrapping service was appreciated. However, the descriptions provided in the app did not fully align with the actual experience, which was somewhat surprising in a few instances. For example, the view from the room sometimes included a metal roof, and a makeup mirror was not available. Additionally, the photographs in the room service menu did not accurately represent the meals that were served.
- Mariam (6/5): - .
- bobbyripe (8/5): Comfortable, friendly, and great location. - Great location almost on the seafront, very close to tram station, ferry station, Galata bridge and Pera. Coming by car is difficult as it is a one lane, one way road, and very congested. Relatively new, contemporary hotel with large lobby and comfortable rooms. Service very friendly and helpful. Food at the Murver restaurant very good with spectacular views of Golden Horn. The bar and restaurant downstairs also have very good food. All restaurants have great service.
- josipke (10/5): Very child friendly - I was staying here with my family, with my 5yo and my 75yo father in law. I booked 2 rooms. As Accor Diamond member we got an upgrade to a suite (Bosporus view), the view was not blocked all the time as some commentators suggest, quite the opposite. Also the free breakfast perk was extended for the whole stay (not only weekend). Breakfast was great and not crowded. Views from the restaurant are amazing as it's on the rooftop of the hotel, and again out of 5 breakfasts we had only 2 time there was a cruise ship. Service on the breakfast is exceptional. Mehmet will bring our drinks the moment he will see us arrive. He also tended that we have everything. From colouring books for our son, food especially for kids, eggs every morning how I like it and so on. The suite was 430 it was big enough, there were two sofa beds although we used only one. The views on the Bosporus were magnificent. Room was well cleaned every day and enough drinking water (in glass bottles) was provided. During weekends it gets loud outside, but if you come to sleep here you're in wrong part of Istanbul. There was live music in the restaurant on the rooftop but also on the ground floor, very authentic. We can recommend listening to the beautiful women signing on the ground floor and their beautiful voice. Check-in desk was very helpful too. About tips around Istanbul, exchange office or providing us with the late checkout. Thank you Abraham for the great service. Both my wife and I did treatments in the spa. We did treatments with Olga from Uzbekistan and we can really recommend. Olga was very professional and all treatments we did, Turkish bath or the massage was so good that we wanted more. Always check with the spa as hotel guests can get discounts. My son and I were also swimming in the pool, staff was always child friendly and will bring us water bottles. All in all, very high rating from us. We believe this is a great property ideally located, with the great service that excels way beyond Novotel brand.
- mohiemen (4/5): only the location is 5 stars the rest is merely 2 stars - apart from the location there is nothing 5 stars about this hotel and even their own staff officially told me that they are not at the same par as some of their competitors and suggested I try Shangri-La or Swisotel, not next time but actually for this stay!! I arrived with my family to find the room is not prepared for the 2 kids, the sofa beds are not prepared and reception staff did not even know if it was prepared or not! Not sure who's responsibility it was to inform house-keeping. Staff were more concerned that I refrain from having anything from the mini-bar otherwise I will have to pay for it, rather than ensuring the room was prepared. The room itself was small and not suitable for four people, but any attempts to upgrade was faced with a non-caring "we have nothing else to offer you". I paid extra for a sea-view room, but the view was blocked most of the time by giant Cruise-ships. The room was on the 5th floor (for the sea-view) but it was extremely noisy due to the lack of noise-cancelling windows and the ceiling and walls were not sound proof which means I heard everything in the corridors and in the busy noisy restaurant on top of the room. I would only recommend this for lone travellers looking for a single night stay in a convenient location, otherwise avoid at all costs.
- Walid2131 (2/5): Unsafe - one of the staff stole from my backpack when i checked out from the hotel and left my luggage at the depository and went out for an hour, after i came back and took my luggage and went to the other hotel i found out the my backpack got checked and stole 20 eures and 500 SAR
- nataliadX881KL (6/5): Short stay in Istanbul - We stayed at this hotel before , to be exact 2 years ago. Service has definitely improved, especially bell boys and reception, very polite and eager to help employees. However the room itself was small, carpet had stains, lacking basic room necessities ( slippers, robes, shower accessories). Pillows and mattresses- terrible, need to be replaced. We had to call to ask for robes, slippers, and to be fair it was delivered within 5 mins. Compared to Novotel Moscow city (4* hotel) - it’s like night and day. The quality of room and service in Novotel Moscow City are much higher.
- moniras624 (10/5): 4th year in a row! - Me and my family have made it a tradition do end the summer with a trip to istanbul and therefore also Novotel Bosphorus! Excellent location, breakfast spread and lovely staff. I would like to specifically thank Noktam for excellent cleaning and being so flexible. The last couple of years we have also ran into Dilek who has offered nothing but exceptional service. Thank you for contributing to yet another successful family trip. ☺️
- ALEXEI (6/5): - Very well-located: perfect for those who need the port, close to the main attractions, Bosphorus ferries in all directions, plenty of restaurants, and a stroll along the brand-new luxury promenade with the best view of both the bridge and the Golden Horn. But the hotel itself is as basic as it gets. No design, uncomfortable beds and pillows, and a very impractical sink. Don’t book the “Bosphorus view” rooms — you can’t really see it, and you’ll get all the noise from the promenade and the street. Rooms facing the inner courtyard are the best — simply because they’re quiet! In short, it’s a great budget option if you’re not looking for anything fancy.
- Mohnish (8/5): - AC does not work well in all rooms. Very hot.
- Ali (10/5): - Excellent hotel, great service and amazing staff
- Omar (8/5): - فندق بالقرب من سوق غلاطة بورت وخلفة الكثير الكثير من المطاعم والمقاهي
- Rupin (10/5): - Excellent location and fabulous views from the 5th floor. The breakfast was elaborate and no complaints at all. Rooms are very comfortable and staff is great as well. The biggest problem was there was extremely loud music until 3am every night, Very difficult to sleep especially with a small child. Hotel said it was other night club across the hotel and they didn't have any control over this. Stayed 3 nights, but hardly slept until after 3am!
- Heather (10/5): - Great location great staff nice clean rooms
- Abid (10/5): - A great stay at Novotel. Highly recommend
- Joseph (10/5): - Great place and people
- Sean (10/5): - Overall excellent hotel, nice bar and restaurant downstairs, excellent but very expensive roof top restaurant also. Hotel has a spa which I didn’t use. Staff all very nice and attentive always asking to help. Only slight issue with my room was a very slowly draining shower. I didn’t inform desk as it wasn’t that big a deal but if you like long showers would’ve been a problem. I def return here if in Istanbul again
- Cassandra (10/5): - I love how clean and tidy my room was all the time . The house keeping is very patient I don’t wake up early but he will ensure that my room and bed sheet is change no matter the time I woke up Well done to him . I was only upset when I wasn’t told the mini fridge is stock for a price only find out when I was leaving to pay for the water , drink etc that was in my mini fridge in my room.
- tonyO6660EX (10/5): Great hotel, fantastic staff and great location! - Thank you all for making our trip to Istanbul special! Thank you in particular to Anil.....great guy who helped during our stay a lot!!
- James (8/5): - Fantastic Breakfast fresh fruits pastries vegetables juices.
- jennifersN3403AK (6/5): 3.5 star hotel at best - This is not a five star hotel. The location is great, the rooftop restaurant is beautiful and the hotel rooms are nice. But our room smelled like cigarette smoke, the air conditioner did not work half of the time (even after having maintenance look at it) and the night club on the ground floor blasted music until 4:00am. Definitely do not stay here after a long flight if you’re looking to get a good night sleep! Our 6 year old daughter wanted to know when the “drums were going to stop beating outside” because the bass of the music was so loud.
- Tara (8/5): - Lovely stay with my mum
- EMEFRE (8/5): - Conveniently located to all the sites you would like to visit in Istanbul. Close to restaurants. Close to tram and the ferry which you can use to visit other parts of Istanbul.
- Babette (10/5): - Very nice hotel close to the cruise port
- Kavita (8/5): - Great location but a little noisy in some rooms due to restaurants on street and music till 1/2 am
- zdaati (8/5): Great hotel - Nice hotel just by waterfront and galata area.we had quiet room on the second floor which was quite big with a nice shower and big bathroom. Nice breakfast on rooftop which gives a great view but the food was great and much more than you can eat and loads of Turkish food like olives, salads, beard , special cheese and much more . pool is not big but depending on the time I enjoyed it alone and sauna is good. Bar by entrance on the street is quite nice. Area around is safe and sound, old town is 20 minute walk or a few tram stations away which is very close to the hotel. Loads of restaurants around but they are quite tourist. Overall a very pleasant stay. Good service from cleaning
- Verified traveler (8/5): OK, has its issues - For the price we got the rooms, it wasn't terrible. Rooms are spacious, clean, and well appointed. Location is good, and it is certainly a real hotel with amenities, not a small operation like most Istanbul places seem to be. But for the price, and for what they are going for with the hotel (down the street from the Peninsula...), the service is so-so, and the noise issues folks have mentioned in other reviews are real. Our room on a lower, street facing floor had significant noise from the street restaurant until quite late. Our room on the top floor had noise until well after midnight from the rooftop restaurant- the nearly constant sound though the ceiling of people shifting their chairs on the floor upstairs. For a hotel at this price point, aspiring to what it does, this is unacceptable and makes for a bad night's sleep if you want to go to be early or don't have earplugs. Also, the pillows are among the lumpiest and hardest I've ever encountered at any hotel, no less one like this.
- Amanda (6/5): - While the location by the water and shopping/dining is good, the room was quite a bit below standards for a 5-star Novotel. Several things were not working or in disrepair, and the room smelled of smoke. The hotel also backs onto a busy street, so keep this in mind for lower floors as it was noisy. The pool was also under renovation, which is a shame as it was a major factor of us booking the place. I would say the room for the most part was below expectation based on the photos. The restaurant however, was as nice as the photos and we had a good experience there. We ended up canceling our remaining 2 nights, and switching to a boutique hotel in the same neighborhood for a fraction of the price, which is simpler but cleaner, friendly, and has working a/c!
- Mauricio (8/5): - Restuarant/Breakfast view to the Bosphorus and Gokden Horn, magnificent!! Great location: Dinning options, tram, ferry, funicular, walkable.
- IoannaGid (8/5): Excellent location and staff - Excellent location and very friendly staff. There was a misunderstanding with our reservation which was not resolved but apart from that our experience was quite nice. Kudos to the excellent staff that takes care of room service and especially Nocta. Also the staff at the restaurant was very friendly and polite and we e joined a nice music night with live music.
- Rayan (10/5): - The room was clean and tidy, and we felt very welcome by the hotel staff. The area is great with a lot of great things to do and see!
- Shamala (8/5): - Hotel is in an excellent location.
- Dia (8/5): - my experience was mixed. The “Superior” room I booked was somewhat disappointing, as it overlooked a noisy back street, which didn’t align with my expectations of a superior view. However, the hotel’s strengths comes through in other areas. The breakfast area on the top floor offered breathtaking views of the city, complemented by an excellent spread of food. The location is central and ideal for exploring Istanbul’s iconic sites. Despite some room for improvement, the hotel’s amenities and location make it a solid choice for travelers.
- Ana (10/5): - E excelente servicio y atención
- Arjun (10/5): - Nice place and nice restaurant
- hazaaa2025 (8/5): Fantastic view with and extraordinary breakfast - We stayed at the Novotel for a week and were very sad to leave. The rooms were clean and simple. Breakfast was wonderful, offering both savory and sweet options with a fantastic view. The Chef there, his name is Serkan and his team are really great and care about their guets and their needs. Special Thanks to Serkan Chef. The front desk staff were endlessly accommodating, kind and generous with their time. Great people and thanks to Hassan and Mehmet. Highly recommend!
- 198shahadm (10/5): Best Breakfast ever... Thanks to Chef Serkan - We had a good time staying at the hotel. It's location is amazing, Excellent breakfast prepared with Chef Serkan with a superb view, comfortable rooms. The location is excellent and great the facilities. Staff are great. The hotel is located in perfect Neighbourhood where it’s close to restaurants and shopping malls.
- Tauseef (10/5): Perfect - Amazing Location, within 10-15 minutes walking distance of all major local tourist destinations in all directions. Room was spacious and perfect for our stay. Indoor Pool was nice and warm and our child loved it too
- abdullahf679 (6/5): Krakoy nice hotel - The location is excellent and great the facilities are good but not at five star level, the value is excellent Close to Galat Port, great for those looking for a round-trip experience, to Galta, staff are great Close to Galat Port, great for those looking for a round-trip experience, to Galta, staff are great
- eltayebibrahim (10/5): FANTASTIC LOCATION - Excellent location near the Bosphorus and a major transport hub. Connected by the ferry and the Metro. Also, near the major tourist attractions.
- Cevdet (10/5): - Location
- MARIENELA VERAS (10/5): - I honestly loved this hotel. Everything is perfect. Location, service,food and their staff.Thank you Novotel you did exceed my expectations.
- Jamal_AlAkkad (8/5): Great hotel, service and location - Had a fantastic first-time experience at this hotel. The location is perfect, and the staff are exceptionally polite and always ready to assist. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable. I also felt very safe throughout my stay, as the hotel has excellent security measures in place. Highly recommend!
- 755anishap (10/5): Recommended, great location - This was the perfect location in Istanbul for my visit this time. The check in staff was very friendly and kind. (Kubilay made my check out easier as well!) The breakfast is delicious and the rooftop is comfortable. The breakfast staff there (Mehmet!) is wonderful --the chefs, the supporting staff, cleaning staff, everyone is on point. The restaurant downstairs was also good with the staff. The Archer bistro is a fun spot for a cocktail or two at night. The servers are really professional. Ozhan was fun to talk to, hospitable and attentive. The housekeeping staff kept everything top notch. My only wish is that the bathrooms and rooms get a bit more updated with the countertops/panels and carpets. Great stay overrall!
- farzad (10/5): - Very nice location and friendly staff
- Mohamed (10/5): - Great location and property for a short stay in the hub of Istanbul
- Safari08737662690 (8/5): Magnifique panorama and extraordinary breakfast - The hotel was clean and service is great. The emplacement is really near to the center, two steps from Galataport and Karakoy. The breakfast was amazing, lot of choices and it is all fresh. Special Special thanks to Serkan and his team (he is the best chef ever). Thanks to the servers as well Mehment and Hassan. I will come back again for sure.
- 34iraidak (8/5): Nice hotel amazing location - A very nice hotel with an amazing location, situated right in front of Galataport and easily accessible to all the main attractions. You can either walk or take public transportation with ease. The rooms are a bit small for a 5-star hotel, but the service makes up for it. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I experienced a minor issue with the bathroom, but the engineering team promptly resolved it, which I truly appreciated. The hotel also features a lovely restaurant with remarkable views and a good variety of food options, making dining there a great experience. Overall, a pleasant stay in a fantastic location!
- 467angiea (8/5): Great location! - Great location for sure. Rooms are a bit small with very little storage space but we made due. Comfy bed and pillows. Fast and good service. We opted in for breakfast every day , definitely worth it. The view from roof top is amazing. Walking distance to a lot of places. Would come back. Its not a 5 stars hotel but a good 4 stars hotel.
- Kira (4/5): - It's not a proper 5 star hotel. The rooms are small, staff is not friendly enough for the price. If you ask them for something during buffet breakfast they point their finger to the location.They saw us with all our bags leaving the room and no one offerred assistance with concierge. I'm not sure where to stay given it's almost a top tourist location but I wouldn't stay again.
- ENAS (4/5): - Overpriced! You can find better for similar pricing
- Patricia (10/5): - Excellent
- Cevdet (10/5): - Great location
- Hooman (10/5): - Perfect location
- SADIQ (10/5): - Manager Mustafa was great . He addressed our needs and guided us
- Malan (10/5): - Located very close to where all the cruise ships dock in Istanbul and in the heart of Karakoy. Convenient location to get to other parts of Istanbul. Room looked a bit dated but was quite functional. The rooftop bar was a nice place to grab a drink with a view of the Bosphorus.
- Cevdet (10/5): - Great location and good value for money
- Lauren (10/5): - We loved this property for the excellent breakfast and comfortable rooms. The location is excellent with lots of dining and shopping options in close proximity.
- Yevgenia (6/5): - It is okay. I am not sure i’d want to stay here again
- George (10/5): - Very good location and spacious bars and restaaurants.
- Mahtab (10/5): - Everything was good except the loud loud music sound every night up to 2 am in the morning from the neighbors across the street In fact for 2 night stay we didn’t sleep at all
- Dilip (10/5): - Our second time staying at Novotel. Lovely lobby area Breakfast is good and worth it. Galata port, Karakoy ferry terminal and restaurants all within walking distance.
- Aaron (4/5): Not great for price - Standard rooms pretty grim for the price. Loud club music pumping till late. Stay elsewhere really.
- Maria (10/5): - Nice hotel well located
- Angelo (8/5): - The property and the area is very nice, clean and safe. What i didn't like was our room on a couple of occasions not getting done till late afternoons.l, especially if you are doing tours throughout the day.
- Hassan (8/5): - Nice property in middle of bustling area, extremely loud at night
- Rosie (6/5): - The staff at the front gate and desk were very kind. The hotel room was clean. But two women in the loft-top restaurant were a little bit unkind and misunderstood in English.
- Jorge (10/5): - Great place to stay lots of things to do in very beautiful surroundings
- asford (10/5): - Unique friendly staff overall I would stay again
- Abdolreza (10/5): - Great hotel
- VIRIYA (8/5): - Great location! Breakfast area/ environment was superb. Wish that there were more hot menu for the breakfast. Services were very much below my expectations, given the price and level of the hotel.
- Jose (10/5): - Excellent location
- Nizar (6/5): - Room was small with no night stands. The spa was excellent with massages and Turkish hammam. Beds are comfortable but the sofa was not. Will not repeat staying because the room was too small for the price I paid.
- Bruno (10/5): - Excellent location, I assure you cannot go wrong. The Galataport building is right in front the hotel and you can spend all day there and you get amazing views of the Bosphorus. 10/10
- Philip (6/5): Ask for a quiet room - Comfortable room in good location was ultimately let down by terrible sleep due to noise outside the hotel until early in the morning
- MURSI (10/5): - Thanks
- Callum (2/5): Avoid - Above a club, bad staff, and airport far - Supposed to be one of the best in IST- far from. The overview is that this hotel has some of the worst service (not just in Istanbul, but generally). The front counter staff are often always too busy (not really busy, just looking busy) to acknowledge you. The Staff in the restaurant for breakfast give little to no care about you (often looking like they would rather be ANYWHERE else). The Staff in the lobby actually 'huff' when you ask them for a dink/service. Then top all this off, the backside of the hotel is built on a bar/pub. If you stay on floor 1 or 2 (maybe 3) you will be above an actual club. Heavy base and noise until 2/3am (weekends). Insane. When I asked staff (at 1am) why they would book me in a room above a club, I was told there was nothing they could do, full hotel (clearly not). Its an hour to get to the airport (or from), so the honest view is don't hit this hotel at all. Sure its clean enough but the staff and noise make it a no-go. For the price point, there are MUCH better hotels in this city you can stay at. Especially if you are on an overnight layover or just there for a weekend.
- Khalil (6/5): - They gave me a room for the first night which was too noisy, and I could not sleep they told me thet did not have any other room, and they said the oud noise goes on to 3:00 AM
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Nice location and rooms were OK, but staff was not always helpful and I was charged for the room by them even though I already paid beforehand. Will be a mess to sort out. Also I later found out the rate they charge for the airport shuttle is about three times the rate of using alternatives.
- Sawsan Abdul Karim (10/5): - Everything was nice from minutes I arrived to the minutes I left the hotel.. thank you so much
- Gustavo (6/5): Not the greatest stay - We only stayed one day since we were coming back from another country…Great location but the hotels require better cleaning of rooms, hallways.…we like the location since we had stayed at the JW Marriot in Bosphorus but this Novotel hotel does not compare at all with the Marriot property
- Jeff (10/5): - Great stay
- Arnout (10/5): - We found the hotel to have an unforgettable rich diverse breakfast on the rooftop with a beautiful view over the Bosphorus. We had a marvelous time overall in the hotel, I am really glad to have chosen this relaxing hotel in Istanbul.
