ホテル自身は全然問題ないが 外が飲み屋街になっていて海側はそこまでだが シティ側は下が飲み屋やので 深夜3時まで太鼓やらの音と振動がずっとあって正直寝るのは難しい。 うるさくても寝れますという人は問題ないが 睡眠時に静かな環境が必要であれば考えた方が良い。 朝食は問題なし かなりの品数で味も美味しかった。 駅にも近く環境も良い。 隣が警察なので治安も問題ない

Fabulous stay and excellent service across all departments. The room with a Bosphorus view is totally worth it. Concierge and reception went all out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The hotel has also One of the best room services ever tried, very nice food and healthy options available. Excellent location to walk around the promenade, Galataport and up to Galata Tower. Easy transportation stops nearby, just bear in mind traffic is intense and taxis could take a little longer in the area. Thank you so much

The reason to stay at the Novotel Istanbul Bosphorus is for a night's stay before or after an ocean cruise. Novotel delivers on good location (we walked to our cruise ship with our luggage in tow), the rooms were clean and the a/c worked! HOWEVER, we were unfortunate to receive a room that was directly over a bar that played loud thumping disco music until after 2 am (and this was on a Wednesday night). After two nights of very little sleep traveling to Istanbul, we desperately needed a good night's sleep! Unfortunately, that was impossible in this room. Consequently, I would consider a different hotel in the same area next time.
