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
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.
Fabulous stay and excellent service across all departments. The room with a Bosphorus view is totally worth it. Concierge and reception went all out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The hotel has also
One of the best room services ever tried, very nice food and healthy options available. Excellent location to walk around the promenade, Galataport and up to Galata Tower. Easy transportation stops nearby, just bear in mind traffic is intense and taxis could take a little longer in the area. Thank you so much
Room service was lacking - always something missing or extra charged. Inter connecting rooms not provided - had to complain and moved after 2 days. Housing keeping excellent. Location very good
Restuarant/Breakfast view to the Bosphorus and Gokden Horn, magnificent!!
Great location: Dinning options, tram, ferry, funicular, walkable.
