Reviews
My experience at Hotel Nabu was excellent and exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff showed great professionalism and friendliness, always ready to help with information and recommendations about the city. The room was impeccably clean, comfortable, and well equipped, providing peaceful nights after exploring Istanbul.
Breakfast was varied and delicious, with both local and international options that made every morning special. The location is another strong point: very convenient for visiting the main tourist attractions, with easy access to public transportation and authentic restaurants in the area.
What impressed me the most was the genuine hospitality — I truly felt welcome and cared for throughout my stay. I highly recommend Hotel Nabu to anyone who wants to enjoy Istanbul with comfort, quality, and warm service.
The breakfast was basic, but the service was quite good! A top-notch recommendation!
You can hear a bit of street noise if the windows are open, but we were out all day, and by night, the music from outside didn’t bother us at all.
(The only small downside was a slightly squeaky door on the shower cabin.)
Also next to the hotel there is a very active street with a huge number of restaurants. On Friday and Saturday nights it will be a little noisy because of the music, but some people even enjoy it
