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.
A superb option for Istanbul where I like to stay when possible. Quiet, large rooms and a delightful breakfast. Price of the room varies a lot depending on the season and events in Istanbul so it comes sometimes too pricey.
We loved this property for the excellent breakfast and comfortable rooms. The location is excellent with lots of dining and shopping options in close proximity.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Location, Comfortable Stay & Wonderful Service
We had a fantastic stay at Novotel Bosphorus for 9 nights in August 2026. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul. The location is excellent—close to trams and ferries, and situated on a lively street with easy access to plenty of restaurants and nightlife. We also felt very safe throughout our stay, with a police station conveniently located next door.
The staff was always prompt, courteous, and helpful, and the customer service was excellent. Our bed was extremely comfortable, and having one and a half bathrooms in the room was a surprise that we absolutely loved!
Despite being in such a lively area, the room was very well insulated, and we did not hear a thing from outside. This made for wonderfully peaceful nights and great sleep after long days of exploring beautiful Istanbul.
If you’re planning a trip to Istanbul, make Novotel Bosphorus your hotel of choice. The location, comfort, service, and convenience made our stay truly enjoyable.
A big thank you to all the staff for your hospitality and for helping make our trip to Istanbul such a memorable one. We would happily stay here again!
We loved our two night stay! Wonderful accommodations! Hotel staff is helpful, friendly and the area is safe and bustling! Istanbul is amazing! Thank you Novotel, Istanbul for a lovely stay!
