The breakfast was excellent. Lots of variety and very fresh. Different options everyday. Staff very friendly and helpful with directions and instructions on using transit and sightseeing. Amazing location to walk almost everywhere and close to transit lines. Very clean rooms and common areas too. Only complaints would be it’s getting a little too warn. The furniture in room had too much damage and should be replaced. Walls had holes in wallpaper and style is outdated. Also, as Expedia VIP, no upgrades or perks were offered. With that being said, it was a fair price for what I received and way too many great things about this hotel, that I would not hesitate to stay again. Roof top restaurant for breakfast was a huge perk to the stay. Beautiful views and very clean.

The Nowy Efendi Hotel's absolutely best selling point is its incredible location -- it is literally 10 min walk away from two of the Istanbul's main tourist sightseeing destinations: Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque. In fact, Hagia Sofia is so close that one can enjoy the view of this incredibly historical Church from the breakfast room! The rooms are pretty good, especially given the prices they charge (we paid less than $100/night for a room with 3 beds -- a pretty good deal IMHO!). The only thing that hotel could consider improving (though not a significant drawback) is the quality of its breakfast. It was OK, but not great. Other than that -- this hotel offers a very good value for money -- I highly recommend it!!!

The best thing about this property is the location. It’s less than 5 mins walk to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basillica Cistern, and Sultanahmet Tram Station. Plus there were tons of restaurants nearby. The neighborhood felt fairly safe. Our room was very clean, but a bit dated. The furniture was a little old and worn, and the walls had no decoration. However everything was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and the bathroom seemed updated. I definitely would stay here again the next time I’m in Istanbul.

Istanbul Trip

Staff were amazing, always ready to help. They even offered apple tea while waiting for other people to finish checking in/out. Special mention to Burcu who helped us not only with the airport transfer, but more importantly, with the luggage transfer to another hotel for our land tour. Burcu came to our rescue when taxis and Uber rejected us. She arranged for the transport service. Hotel is close to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and other sites, as well as, to stores and restaurants. It is walking distance to the Tram station. Breakfast has a good selection. We had an excellent experience during our stay at Nowy Efendi and will gladly recommend it to our friends.

The location.of the property was excellent 5 out 5.. everything was close by walking distance. Staff were friendly and answered our every question. Breakfast was good but could have done with more of a range of food. Also when giving prices for transfers they should state that 55 euros return actually means 55 goin n another 55 comin back not 55 in total for both ways. Which is what we thought until we asked further questions.. Overall a very good hotel in the perfect location.
