6/10 Good

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!

The hotel is located at the hub of Istanbul where you could go shopping and a lot of sightseeing. The staff are accommodating and doing everything to make you feel comfortable. In terms of pricing, I think it is decent and is worth every penny you spend!

Super clean The hotel is super clean - I did not ask if they have recently renovated but everything in the room is very clean and it appears there has been a lot of attention to detail with the interior design and furnishing. Convenient location - Walk to Havaist #12 airport shuttle bus stop and metro station Aksatay - Very short walk to T1 ( main tourist route) tram station (3min) - Within walking distance to Grand Bazzar Quiet While this place is close to many tourist attractions, it is quiet at night. Friendly and helpful Staff Free breakfast The ladies at the kitchen offer to make fresh omelet and lentil soups for us every morning. We’ll definitely come back again.
