Novotel Istanbul Zeytinburnu

I liked pretty much everything the staff were excellent always ready to help, they surprised me with a birthday cake, they clean rooms every day you can choose if you want them to change l sheets/towels... after every clean they left us free bottles of water the facilities are great and the location is exceptional in the close vicinity of fişerkhane which is full of restaurants and malls and the sea and the views from the hotel were breathtaking. Also the pool is great chilling beside it at late night is a really wonderful experience too bad that you can not go for a swim after 18 bit still the pool is great and cleaned every day. The bar in the hotel is great nice cocktails. Bus station is right in front of the hotel, metro station is 10 min walk so you can get anywhere also taxis are 1 min away so im really pleased with my stay.

Arrived late in the evening and was greeted by the niceste staff member who took his time explaining all the must see and things to do in Istanbul. He took his time showing me a map over the city, how to get around the city and I could not have wished for a better start to my stay. After that I was upgraded to a larger room on the top floor with a view over the sea. It was amazing waking up to this view every morning and I am vert greatful for the upgrade. The hotel had a gym, which also overlooked the sea and the pool area too. Was nice to be able to use these facilities in the morning. It is not the biggest gym, but it has all it needs for a nice little work out. The woman doing the cleaning of my room everyday was so incredible nice and friendly, always made sure I had water when coming from the gym and even gave me extra if I needed it. Room was spotless every single day. I dined at the restaurant once and the service was good and food amazing too. Was nice being able to sit outside and enjoy my meal, the staff at the restaurant were friendly and nice. The pool area was pretty good too, they provide you with a free towel to use while relaxing by the pool. The staff working at the pool were super nice, kind and friendly. Always greeted with a smile which was nice. Little bonus is that you could buy ice cream when relaxing by the pool. The hotel is located around 7 km outside the city centre, but it is very easy to get back and forth. You can get a tourist Istanbul card which allows you to use all sorts of transportating while visiting the city. I recommend you getting a yellow / orange cab when going to the airport, the front desk will call a cab for you if needed. All in all just a very nice and pleasant stay. Would definitely recommend this hotel and if I am every back in Istanbul again I will be staying here for sure. Thank you for a lovely stay to all the nice and friendly staff members at Novotel Istanbul Zeytinburnu.

Almost everything was great. Very clean place, friendly stuff, great location. We also loved the massage and the swimming pool. Was a great time enjoying fresh baklava and coffee in the swimming pool. There were not many people and crystal clear water. Thanks.

Quite good urban hotel in Zeytinburnu. Local walkable neighborhood with shops 10 mins walk away, station of Marmaray train (which takes you to historic downtown Istanbul and Asian side) is 15 mins walk away. Fishekane shopping center with many good restaurants 5 mins walk away. Starbucks and a great baklava shop just next by. There is a coastal linear park, but you can't cross the highway at the hotel, it's 15 min walk away. Breakfast was good, but I really missed Simit, this was the first ever Turkish hotel breakfast where it wasn't available.
