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!

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

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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!

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.
