Novotel Istanbul Bosphorus

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.

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

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.

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 .

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Not worth it ! Rooms are very closed no way to breathe ! Window view underground

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!

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.

Clean. Comfortable

Staff at check in great!
Luggage staff were great as well and very helpful..
The overall staff were very informative, friendly and helpful!

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.

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.

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.
