Great sightseeing base- amazing hotel
We booked Novotel as part of a longer trip travelling around Turkey. It has been our best stay so far- we slept as if we were in the clouds. The staff were very helpful and always happy to assist with a smile, true home away from home. We used the gym also which was great. We opted for no breakfast option due to so many restaurants in the area but if you have a chance to have lunch or dinner on the rooftop- the hotel restaurants has very tasty food and decor is also beautiful. All sightseeing is walking distance from the hotel but also easy to take a taxi across the bridge.

We absolutely loved this hotel. It’s in a perfect location with an incredible view of the Bosphorus. The train and public transportation is a short 5 minute walk away. A few steps from the hotel is great night life and restaurants. And across the street is a huge shopping outdoor mall, right on the water, with tons of shops and restaurants. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we visit.
