Novotel Istanbul Karakoy

I liked how central it is I enjoyed the comfort of the beds and linin

I didnt like that they charged me for 5 rooms when i was only suppose to pay for one I booked as a family for 4 rooms When we arrived we all paid separately for our rooms However when checking my bill i saw 5 rooms were billed to my card Thereafter it was explained to me that the 4 would be reversed as they were pre authorized the day before my stay and will be paid back to me within 3- business days as its a international bank im dealing with If i was informed of this id of let them bill my card and each family member pays me back. Other than this mild panic i enjoyed everything. I will be monitoring my account over the next few days to check if the funds are reversed.

Location is Okay. The back streets are fun and safe to walk around. Hotel is decent and clean. Beds are Okay. Restaurant at the top floor is Excellent. Breakfast Okay.

Construction work going on around the hotel. Staff aren't that friendly expect the concierge which was very attentive and helpful. Breakfast selection good but messy because of other guests and staff didn't bother that much.
