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.

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.

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

Very weak AC. Lowest temperature in the room with AC on full power was 22 degree, very hard to sleep like this, it was just too warm.
And why was the AC so weak? So that the hotel can save energy cost. For 200 Euro a night very disappointing
And the pillows are also just horrible. Cheapest of the cheapest, low quality, very hard and uncomfortable.
Had a very bad sleep because of the hot room and the bad pillow. Never again.
Location and service are good though.

Total disaster and major, never ever seen before after so many years of traveling around the world, such a self ruling decision making and absolutely no hotel protocols followed or that they even ever existed from the management! Must shed light on the border line deceit and con artists techniques the hotel manager uses on travelers! Just saw my credit card additionally charged for absolutely bogus charges ,way after I have completed and paid in full my final bill obligations and had my trip completed and I have returned to US ! What a shame for such a non-professional and non acceptable behavior! Such a pathetic, disrespectful and disappointing experience with the management of this so-called 5 star establishment ! No way , respectfully!

only hotel where they made me wait to do a checkout, for certifying mini bar content in room is intact.
they gave me a ‘city view’ room and within shouting distance was a busy street with noise till 1 am.

We booked Novotel as part of a longer trip travelling around Turkey. It has been our best stay so far- we slept as if we were in the clouds. The staff were very helpful and always happy to assist with a smile, true home away from home. We used the gym also which was great. We opted for no breakfast option due to so many restaurants in the area but if you have a chance to have lunch or dinner on the rooftop- the hotel restaurants has very tasty food and decor is also beautiful. All sightseeing is walking distance from the hotel but also easy to take a taxi across the bridge.

We absolutely loved this hotel. It’s in a perfect location with an incredible view of the Bosphorus. The train and public transportation is a short 5 minute walk away. A few steps from the hotel is great night life and restaurants. And across the street is a huge shopping outdoor mall, right on the water, with tons of shops and restaurants. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we visit.

Getting a taxi from the hotel was the hardest problem and we had to walk some distance to find one ourselves.
5.0
The hotel is fantastic, in a great location and does not feel stifling.
There was a small mixup with the airport collection at Istanbul and the reception desk were very pro-active to solve the issue, paying for a replacement taxi themselves.
Overall the hotel is excellent value for money, and very welcoming. The cleaning staff were extremely friendly and the room were immaculately clean.

Apart from the poor WIFI everything else was really nice.
I think that it would be more environmental correct to use liquid soap etc…
