Hotel Novano

The location is excellent, with restaurants and shops nearby, and the major attractions and public transport are within walking distance. We were very happy with the hotel, staff, and breakfast. They took our reservation at the last minute, and the staff had great, affordable city tour options. We joined a Bosphorus cruise. The one drawback is that there's no elevator, so it isn't suitable for people with limited mobility.

We stayed four nights in October 2025 and really enjoyed it. The hotel is on a walking street with a little traffic, mostly taxis, and there are lots of restaurants, pubs, and small grocery stores nearby. We felt lucky to find it. Omer checked us in, and we were very happy with him. We spent evenings on the outdoor patio drinking wine and chatting with him. We started with paper cups, but when I asked if we could have glasses, Omer went straight to the kitchen and brought us two wine glasses.

The location works really well for the central sights, with the Hippodrome only a five-minute walk away. The room was very clean and serviced every day. Friendly staff, a good breakfast selection, and a great hotel.

This little boutique hotel is close to everything, with the Egyptian Bazaar, Blue Mosque, and other popular attractions within walking distance. It was immaculately clean, with comfortable beds and stable high-speed Wi-Fi. The breakfast buffet was really good each morning, and homemade cakes, tea, and coffee were served daily in the afternoon. The staff were friendly and professional, and it was great value for the price. I'll be back in April!!!
