8/10 Very good

The room was a good size, but the carpets were dirty and had not been cleaned. The gym is basic but functional. The Spa area was relaxing. The breakfast was very good with great views.

2/10 Poor

The cleaning service was really poor. We stayed for four nights, and the bed sheets were never changed. Housekeeping only came at around 5 PM, which is far too late. They did not properly clean the room or wipe any surfaces. They only emptied the bins. The room was also very dark, with very poor natural light. The reception staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming, which was a positive. Unfortunately, considering the price, the hotel was not worth it at all. We would not recommend staying here to others.

8/10 Very good

Solo traveler, 4 nights, executive room 1 queen bed, room size for one person is great. No noise. Location of hotel is excellent if you want Galata Port area. Behind hotel you have nice alleys with bars/restaurants/cafes.. etc Staff were nice, bed was comfortable, but my 4 stars (instead of 5) were because I didn't like the bathroom in the room, it doesn't match up to a 5 star hotel standard although this is a 5 star hotel. But the location makes sense to stay there.

A superb option for Istanbul where I like to stay when possible. Quiet, large rooms and a delightful breakfast. Price of the room varies a lot depending on the season and events in Istanbul so it comes sometimes too pricey.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Well located. Plenty of shopping and food within short walking distances. The hotel is starting to show its age: carpets throughout are stained, TVs old, bathrooms a bit old fashioned. But overall still acceptable. Also, rooms facing the backside may get noisy since directly exposed to the below street restaurants and bars. Double windows should be installed. Ask for a room facing inside. EV chargers in the underground parking are great! ZES is the provider (you need the ZES card).

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Location, Comfortable Stay & Wonderful Service We had a fantastic stay at Novotel Bosphorus for 9 nights in August 2026. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul. The location is excellent—close to trams and ferries, and situated on a lively street with easy access to plenty of restaurants and nightlife. We also felt very safe throughout our stay, with a police station conveniently located next door. The staff was always prompt, courteous, and helpful, and the customer service was excellent. Our bed was extremely comfortable, and having one and a half bathrooms in the room was a surprise that we absolutely loved! Despite being in such a lively area, the room was very well insulated, and we did not hear a thing from outside. This made for wonderfully peaceful nights and great sleep after long days of exploring beautiful Istanbul. If you’re planning a trip to Istanbul, make Novotel Bosphorus your hotel of choice. The location, comfort, service, and convenience made our stay truly enjoyable. A big thank you to all the staff for your hospitality and for helping make our trip to Istanbul such a memorable one. We would happily stay here again!
