Super friendly restaurent staff.

Super friendly staff in the breakfast room made the start to the holiday and each day a real pleasure. The room was always beautifully cleaned. The bed and pillow could have been a little more comfortable but that is personal preference. A little more coffee in the room would have been nice for the coffee in bed in the morning and at the end of the day.

I don’t know how they rated this hotel as a 5 star hotel!!!! The front desk had only one associate & the elder one had a very bad attitude and he gave me the room that the door lock and the safe both were broken , when I told him instead of saying sorry he was mad at me.The hallway & the breakfast area was very warm . They had a very simple breakfast and most of them were laying there in the warm room for hours, not on the ice or cooling stuff. I couldn’t even eat the breakfast, The towels are all ripped and some of them had holes too. The housekeeper staff & breakfast ladies were very nice.

My stay in Istanbul

Hotel is in a really good location, not only is it very close to the Grand Bazar and the Haga Sophia Mosque, but also a 3 minute walk to either the tram or the Metro. There are restaurants very close by.It's a small hotel, beds, shower etc. are absolutly fine. Breakfast is adequate, the only complaint I might have is that the coffee for breakfast was very bland and flavourless.

Ok hotel near attractions

The stay was OK, but nothing special. With so many other options in Istambul, you may want to try a different hotel. The condition of the room, common areas, and lobby was good. The front desk staff was on average OK, but not very friendly. The ladies responsible for the breakfast and cleaning were friendly and always had a smile on their faces. Breakfast was OK, but nothing amazing. The food in Turkey can be amazing so it is a matter of incorporating some of these simple and delicious things to the breakfast to make it better. Good Turkish tea and Turkish coffee with some dried fruits, better olives, etc. can make a significant improvement. Remember the n-2 rule for stars in Turkish hotels. A 5 star ranking for a hotel in Turkey is closer to a 3 star in other areas of Europe , especially Central Europe.

We definitely enjoyed our stay at the Novel Hotel. Very clean and nicely renovated. The breakfast area is a bit small and the plates would smell like eggs sometimes but the staff was very helpful and kind. The location is great too, close to a tramway station and in a good safe area. Overall, I'd recommend this hotel :)

It is shown that this hotel is 5 star hotel based on which we made our reservation. The hotel is not more than 3 stars. The location is difficult to reach, the street is narrow, the Entrance is high (you need to climb sharp stairs to reach, the lobby is small, the elevator is also so small. The people are friendly and very nice. However the general evaluation is not good.

Great Stay at Novel Hotel

Our stay at Novel Hotel was excellent! My mother and I stayed for 11 nights, and the room, bathroom, and facilities matched the photos perfectly. The shower was great, with hot water available within seconds, and the hair dryer was powerful. We also appreciated the two complimentary bottles of water and the small tea/coffee setup. What really stood out were the wonderful staff members, especially the ladies at the breakfast buffet. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our mornings extra pleasant. It’s some of the best customer service I’ve experienced in Istanbul during my visits. The housekeeping staff was also kind and attentive. Even though they didn’t speak English, their warm smiles and genuine care spoke for itself. The reception staff was polite, but there’s room for improvement. Smiling more and being less bothered by requests would enhance the experience. It seems that customer service in Istanbul, especially in tourist areas, could improve overall, as well as a better understanding of English. The hotel’s location was ideal—right in the heart of everything. We walked to the Grand Bazaar, Egyptian Bazaar, and Eminönü without needing to use the tram. Public transportation (tram, bus, and metro) was just a 3-5 minute walk away, and there were plenty of stores, restaurants, and money exchange offices nearby. The room was a bit small, which is typical for hotels in the old city area. Overall, it was a great stay, and my mom was very satisfied!
