Hotel Novano

Everything went well. My room was great, above the street but that went quiet at an acceptable time and the double glazing helped. It was 5 degrees outside but I didn't need the heating on at all. Plenty of very hot water and the bathroom was very clean. The bed was comfortable and I didn't hear other guests throughout the night. A few inconsiderate Man Utd supporters in the early hours didn't spoil things. Breakfast was fantastic. I like to sample local cuisine and this was. More than enough food and the tea/coffee were never ending. The location couldn't have been better. About 100m from the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque) and the Grand Bazaar, Topkapi Pakace and Spice Bazaar are well within walking distance. The manager was very friendly and informative. Perhaps one of the most interesting things is that complimentary tea/coffee/ local biscuits are served in the afternoon/evening in a small extension which was apparently a tunnel into the mosque grounds.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Novano and overall, it was a delightful experience. The hotel's location was fantastic, providing easy access to various attractions and amenities in the area. The staff at Hotel Novano were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The pickup and drop off at the airport allowed a stress free transport to and from the airport. I particularly enjoyed the lovely sitting area at the front of the hotel, which provided a great spot to relax and unwind. The staff was also very helpful in arranging last-minute tours, making my trip even more enjoyable. Close to Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, less than 5-10 minute walk. The room was clean and well-maintained, offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere for a good night's sleep. The breakfast spread had a variety of options to choose from, open buffet style. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with my stay at Hotel Novano, and I wouldn't hesitate to book a room there again.

This was my first time visiting Istanbul as a solo female traveller, and I couldn't have made a better choice than Hotel Novano. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the service was truly impeccable. My room was cleaned every morning, and every evening when I returned, it was spotless and inviting. The location is fantastic — just a few minutes' walk from the Aya Sofya and the Sultanahmet Mosque. Eminönü port is easily accessible via the T1 tramway, which is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The area feels very safe, making it perfect for solo travellers. I personally felt very welcomed and completely at ease throughout my stay. Breakfast is served until 10:30 AM and is absolutely delicious, offering a traditional Turkish spread with plenty of options. In the afternoon, the hotel also offers complimentary tea, coffee, and cakes/biscuits — a lovely treat after a day exploring the vibrant streets of Istanbul. I would like to extend a special thank you to the team at Hotel Novano, especially Omar and Turkan, for making my stay so stress-free and comfortable. Overall, I would rate this hotel 10/10 for its value, location, cleanliness, staff, and breakfast. Highly recommended!

We stayed in a double economy room. Although the hotel is small, it is very cozy. Keep in mind that the economy room faces the historical wall, so it can be a bit dark during the day. This didn’t bother us at all, but if natural light is important to you, you might want to book a room facing the street, which is slightly more expensive. The most important thing is that the room was always very clean, as was the entire hotel. Breakfast was delicious, with everything always fresh. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. I would especially like to highlight the administrator, Turan, who was always ready to assist, offer recommendations on what to see in the city, and made every effort to ensure our stay was enjoyable. All the main attractions are within walking distance from the hotel. The street where the hotel is located is safe and quiet. Overall, the hotel offers excellent value for money, and in fact, it exceeded our expectations.

Hotel Novano is located in the Sultan Ahmet area For those who have not been to Istanbul, it is the old part of the city around the park of the same name bordered by Aya Sofia and Topcapi Palace on one side and the Blue Mosque on the other. It is an area with winding and narrow streets and buildings (renovated!) from the time of the Ottoman Empire of which the vast majority are hotels! Being practically a hotel at every step is at the same time easy and difficult to make the right choice. We managed to do it by choosing the NOVANO hotel. It is a small hotel located on one of the streets in the area that allow car access, but even so the hotel is quiet and comfortable. NOVANO is more like a boutique hotel in which a few professional people are constantly concerned with ensuring the support and comfort of tourists. I have to make a special mention on this occasion for the guys at the reception (24/24, 24/7) Kivanch and Emin who during the 9 days were a real support for a successful stay. Thanks also to the lady from the kitchen who constantly took care to have a breakfast as close as possible to what we are used to. In short: - The position is excellent a few steps from the park and the great tourist attractions of old Istanbul. The T1 tram station is on the corner of the park and from there there is a connection to everything in Istanbul (including Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazar, Marmaray, Eminonu ferry area, etc.) - The hotel is small (including rooms) but quiet, comfortable and equipped with everything you need - Breakfast is excellent - In the afternoon, daily, the hotel offers free tea, coffee, fruit and cakes in the common relaxation area. - The VIP transfer provided by the hotel to and from the airport is EXCELLENT and more convenient in price than anything you find on the net. - Last but not least, the main feature from our point of view was the constant concern we felt from the staff to maximize our comfort.
