"I was not happy with coordination with hotel regarding checking and hotel transfer from airport. We arrived with two separate flights and although they asked all the information they did not provide a ride to hotel and also they didn’t let the first group to check in before I arrived. They kept them in the lobby for several hours. The location of the hotel was excellent. Our rooms were clean and spacious. The shower drainage was not very good. The quality of breakfast and service was not good at all, but the area had a very nice view."

"Novotel Istanbul has a very good location, especially for travelers who enjoy having plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby. The hotel is just a few steps from Galataport and about a 5-minute walk from the tram station. From there, it is only about three stops to Eminönü, making it easy to visit many of Istanbul’s main attractions. The neighborhood is quite busy and can feel crowded, but overall, the convenient location makes up for it. It’s a good choice if you want to be close to restaurants, transportation, Galataport, and the main tourist areas of Istanbul."

"The hotel is beautiful and well located with various nice restaurants in the neighborhood . Everything was ok except the small elevator the hotel has. Not enough to serve the people staying at the hotel and the people who came to the rooftop bar which has a great view of the city. We spent 20 minutes trying to go down from our floor to the lobby because the elevator only fits 3 people inside and it was full of people already coming from the lobby to the roof top so we could not get in. We almost lost an appointment we had because of this. The hotel should try to fix this problem. Apart from this issue everything was great."
