Good stay/poor tour guide

Comfortable stay, friendly staff, and central location. Other than a poor recommendation by hotel staff for a local guide our stay was uneventful. After our poor experience with the tour guide, I asked the hotel not to recommend Gulliver Tours - Ms. Emil Sucu tour guide. It was a total waste of time and we got nothing for our money.

Overall, the review score is a fair reflection of the hotel. Every hotel in Sultan Ahmet or Fatih in general gets good score for location, but this one really has a great location, just 2 minutes walk from the Sultan Ahmet mosque and yet reasonably quite. There are many good restaurants and grocery stores around. Hotel condition is great, staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is plentiful. I would recommend. By the way, I canceled a reservation at a Laleli Hotel to get a room at a next door hotel here, because Laleli-Aksaray neighborhoods have deteriorated significantly since we visited last time 6 years ago. We did not feel safe walking around outside of in Aksaray hotel. Extremely crowded, mostly with people fall on hard luck trying to escape to Europe. Sultan Ahmet is also crowded, more than usual, but feel safer since the crowd are mostly tourists or the locals working in the area. Keep this in mind when you make reservations.

I have been staying at this hotel for more than 10 years, Again and Again, i definitely recommend it.

Despite that it is not luxurious, but when you stay there you feel like home. The staff are so kind and helpful, Rooms are very clean, and prices are so fair.

What distinguishes this hotel, his location which is almost 1 minute away from Sultanahmet square, where you can find all the sightseeings (Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, TopCapi Palace,...). Also the tramway station is 2 minutes away.
Nearby restaurants and shops for all your needs.

I will be coming back anytime i visit Istanbul.

Cosy hotel with good location

We vidited Istanbul in late October and were staying at Hotel Novano. Location of the hotel is just great - it is in the Sultanahmet area and everything is in walking distance or if you need to get tram or bus, there are tram and bus stops. Also there is a good choice of cafes around, you can easily walk to waterfront to have freshly cooked fish in cafes around. As for the hotel itself, it is very clean, cosy and comfortable. We found it a good deal for its price. Managers at the reception are really helpful, e.g. we needed some more time to pack all our staff and asked if it was possible to check out later (we were ready to pay some extra money for this), but manager said we could check out later and it would be free. Breakfast was also good and there is a relatively good choice for breakfast menu. When we get to our room tired after all day tourings around Istanbul, we felt really relaxed and comfortable in our room.

The manager, Kenan was always helpful and went out of his way to ensure our stay was comfortable and hassle free. The breakfasts are delicious too and nothing was too much trouble.

Close to all attractions.

I am not sure whether it was Expedia or Hotel Novano that messed up my reservation for a room with two twin beds. When I arrived I was given a choice of a small room with full bed on the first floor or fourth floor. The idea of lugging my two suitcases up the stairs (no elevator) convinced me to choose the first floor. I was very tired and fell asleep as soon as I checked into he room. When I woke up I realized I didn't have the right room. I talked to the gentleman at the front desk but he couldn't give me a room with two twin beds. I wrote to Expedia complaining about the reservation and showed it to the clerk the next morning. He finally moved me to the room I wanted. .

- The location is the best : near tramway , near attractions such as (agia sofia, blue mosque, topkapi palace, grand bazaar and much more)

The back wall is part of the Bizantine Wall and the Marmara Sea is a few minutes away. The hotel itself is fantastic, the staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are cleaned every day. The bathroom is roomy. The bedroom is a bit on the small side, bed was comfortable and had a tiny balcony that overlooked the courtyard. Breakfast was fine, you could ask for other food and the kitchen staff was happy to obligue. Beverages and snacks are available during the day, served in the courtyard or the street side.

You can't beat Hotel Novano for its proximity to all the sights in Sultanahmet, its excellent service and comfortable, quiet rooms. Accomodations are a bit cramped but nice. Ask for a room facing the back for
a quiet stay. The hotel has the names of some private
guides if you don't want a large tour. A bit pricey

Very helpful staff and made us very welcome despite arriving at 4.00 am in the morning! Room was small but comfortable. Breakfast was at a reasonable time in the morning 8.00 -10.00 and you did not feel rushed. One down side was that there was no bar or evening facilities so taking a drink and sitting outside watching the world go by in the meant buying your own drink from a shop nearby and sitting at table. No great hassle. Most of the staff speak English and the hotel owner is very charming. The hotel is very quiet despite where it is located , about 10 minutes from the blue mosque and the morning prayers! It is well located easy to find if you stray away from the centre. Just head for the blue mosque and you will find your way back to the hotel.

Average hotel, but good for the price and location

Novano Hotel is a good, small hotel located in the very center of Sultanahmed. I've traveled a lot to Istanbul, and can now compare different hotels, and this one is slightly better than most. It is clean, rooms are a bit larger than others (which means you have space to walk around the bed, nothing more) and it has good breakfast that includes omelets (not common in other hotels of this type in Istanbul). I asked the staff for recommendations for activities and restaurants, and their recommendations were not great so I wouldn't advise anyone to do this, but the staff were quite nice and at least tried to be helpful. Unlike many other hotels in Sultanahmed, I would stay here again. I would advice others to keep expectations low at this price range in Sultanahmed.

The breakfast is better than average with excellent selections. All staff are very friendly, housekeeping, reception, kitchen, etc. In particular, desk clerk Ziya was engaging, helpful in planning our time in Istanbul, and very personable.

one not-so-good staff member

My room had small bedroom even for a small person like me, but the bathroom was nice and spacious. The hotel and the room were very clean and the towels were changed daily though my bed sheets were not changed for all 4-night/day stay (however it did not bother me).

The hotel manager Enver was great and helpful, and the cleaning and breakfast staff were super nice and friendly as well, but one of the younger reception staff was not so kind: he told me that taxi to IST airport was way more expensive than the private transfer hotel could arrange (he charged me 45TL, but the taxi fare was 40 TL based on Enver. 5TL was nothing but I did not like the fact that he lied); and he also said that I needed to pay a day ahead and that was the rule of all hotels. I did not appreciate those things he said and I especially did not appreciate when I confronted him in front of Enver, he completely denied them.

All in all, the hotel itself was nice, but that staff member made the hotel not so appealing.

Nossa experiência no Hotel Novano foi excelente do começo ao fim. O quarto é muito agradável, confortável e bem organizado, exatamente como esperado para descansar depois de um dia intenso explorando Istambul. A limpeza merece destaque: tudo sempre muito limpo e bem cuidado.

A recepção é outro ponto forte — equipe extremamente atenciosa, educada e sempre disposta a ajudar, o que faz toda a diferença durante a estadia.

O café da manhã é bom, com variedade suficiente para começar bem o dia.

E, sem dúvida, o grande diferencial é a localização: perfeita! Dá para fazer muita coisa a pé, perto dos principais pontos turísticos, restaurantes e transporte. Facilita demais a experiência na cidade.

Se eu voltar para Istambul, com certeza ficarei novamente no Hotel Novano. Recomendo sem pensar duas vezes.

Service is friendly. If you pick a room overlooking the street and decided to keep the window ajar, the noise may bother you.

Istanbul'a her gelişimde bu otelde kalmayı tercih ediyorum. Sultanahmet cıvarlarında en güzel butik otel diyebilirim. Gerek oda komforu gerek personel ve kahvaltı her şey çok güzel. Kendinizi evdeymişsiniz gibi hissediyorsunuz. Ayrıca beni kırmadan her seferinde sevdiğim odayı veriyorlar. Tüm otel çalışanlara içten teşekkür ederim.

Personeel zeer behulpzaam. Accommodatie is verouderd, verlichting in de kamer niet goed, vele lampen doen het niet. Badkamer verouderd, niet helemaal schoon te krijgen.
Geen lift.
Gordijnen sluiten de ramen niet goed waardoor ‘s morgens snel licht in de kamer.
TV geen Europese kanalen behalve 1 Italiaanse en 1 Duitse.
Ontbijt mag met meer en verschillende brood en minder zoetigheid.

Struttura semplice ma romantica.
Camere rilassanti con arredamento in legno chiaro, bagno con doccia grande. (però non c è il bidet).
La camera, il bagno e la sala della colazione sempre puliti.
Il ragazzo alla reception è bravissimo, cordiale, attento e presente. Anche le signore in cucina e alle pulizie sono sempre gentili.

La posizione Dell hotel è strategica, vicino alla fermata del tram e alla principali attrazioni si sultanahmet.

Noi per il trasferimento dall' aeroporto all'hotel abbiamo preso la navetta (abbiamo scritto una mail e ce l'ha prenotata direttamente il direttore dell' albergo)sia per l'andata che per il ritorno. In modo da essere sicuri di arrivare in tempo evitando i vari mezzi pubblici.

Dovessi ritornare a Istanbul, tornerei sicuramente al Novano.

Grazie mille della cortesia e dell'ospitalità.
Denise e Reda

L'albergo si trova nel cuore di Istanbul, a pochi passi dalla moschea blu. È una struttura perfetta per chi vuole esplorare la città a piedi. Lo staff è molto cordiale. La colazione era molto buona. Al pomeriggio a disposizione degli ospiti tè, caffè, pasticcini e frutta. Ci siamo sentiti veramente coccolati.

Sessiz sakin, şahane konum

Personel çok nazik ve yardımcı oldu. Özellikle sessiz oda istedik, duvar dibinde çok sessiz oda verildi. Kahvaltı gayet zengindi.

Bon rapport qualité prix

Rue passante (beaucoup de restaurants et boutiques) mais très bonne insonorisation.
Literie et oreillers trop fermes à notre goût. Impossibilité d’en changer.
Petit déjeuner très standard. Grosse clientèle russe (et la télé russe en prime au petit déjeuner... :( )

إقامة جميلة

كانت جميلة الإقامة، لا يوجد مصعد في الفندق، لم يقوموا بترتيب الغرفة ثاني يوم صباحاً، إلا أن الفندق نظيف، وعامل الفندق مضياف ومتعاون، والفندق مرتب بشكل جميل، ومكانه جيد من حيث قربه من الأماكن الأثرية كمسجد السلطان أحمد وأيا صوفيا،وبالتالي قربه من محطة القطار، ومجاور لأرستا بازار والعديد من المطاعم والمقاهي.

A due passi da tutto

Posizionato a 10' di distanza a piedi da Moschea Blu, Topkapi, Museo dei Mosaici, etc.
Silenzioso, pulito, colazione più che adeguata e varia, personale molto cortese e disponibile, wi-fi decente, in camera té e caffé a volonta, due gradite bottigliette d'acqua offerte tutti i giorni (l'acqua di Istanbul è puro cloro!).
Se tornassi a Istanbul soggiornerei probabilmente ancora qui.
Tenendo conto ovviamente del rapporto qualità/prezzo che ho riscontrato

Accettabile

Personale molto gentile e disponibile, colazione discreta, posizione molto centrale, ma nel complesso non può essere considerato un quattro stelle, piuttosto un buon tre stelle; avevamo la camera in mansarda al terzo piano senza ascensore, con un bagno molto piccolo.

Goede ligging

Klein hotel met een goede ligging die net uit het drukke deel van Sultanahmet zit waardoor je nachtrust niet verstoord word.
Hotel heeft genoeg faciliteiten die echter voor rolstoelgangers minder geschikt is.

Hübsches Hotel in der nähe von Sultanahmet Moschee

Wir haben drei Nächte mit meiner Frau in diesem schönen Hotel übernachtet. Die Lage vom Hotel ist perfekt, 5-10 minuten entfernt von Hagia Sophia und alle mögliche transportmöglichkeiten. Sehr hilfreiche Personal und top Frühstück für den Preis. Dieses Hotel ist einfach toll und nur zu empfehlen. Nächstes Jahr werden wir wieder in diesem Hotel übernachten.
