About

Nova Roma Hotel

Nova Roma Hotel sits on a quiet street in the Kucuk Ayasofya district, steps from the landmarks of Sultanahmet and a short walk from the Marmara Sea. The 3-star property keeps things straightforward: a 24-hour reception, a lift, and a coffee shop on site, with air conditioning and soundproofing in the rooms.

The hotel is a practical choice for first-time visitors to Istanbul. The team is known for being exceptionally helpful — guests mention the manager sharing city history, staff recommending restaurants and cheaper ways to get around, and even complimentary tea and coffee whenever asked. The roof terrace is a recurring highlight, a calm spot above the city's bustle.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • A staff that feels like family — Several guests describe the team as wonderful, helpful, and genuinely concerned about their stay — recommending sights, restaurants, and cheaper options, and even sharing the city's history.
  • Unbeatable position in Sultanahmet — Just a short walk from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the tram station, and the Marmara Sea, with shops and a market nearby. Several reviews call it a safe, central spot.
  • A calm roof terrace above the city — Guests highlight the roof terrace as a peaceful retreat from the busy streets, with views that make the stay special.
  • Spacious lower-floor rooms — Multiple reviews praise the size and design of the triple rooms on the lower floors, and suggest requesting one with a balcony.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities score is modest — The Facilities rating sits at 6.1, the lowest of all categories, suggesting the property's physical amenities may feel basic compared with the service and location.
  • Some rooms need refreshing — One guest asked for new furniture, better cleaning service, and more breakfast tables — a sign that wear and tear can show in places.
  • Comfort scores a touch below — The Comfort rating is 7.2, lower than the property's overall 8.0, which may reflect some dated furnishings or noise insulation.
  • Limited parking in the old city — While parking is listed, Sultanahmet's narrow streets can make driving and parking a challenge, and the hotel's paid airport shuttle may be a more practical option.

“The staff were wonderful — like staying with family. We could ask for tea or coffee any time without it being added to the bill. Nothing was too much trouble. They genuinely wanted us to enjoy Istanbul, recommending sights, restaurants, and cheaper ways to do things. The manager told us much of the city's history, which enhanced our visit. The roof terrace was an amazing experience — sitting in perfect peace amidst the rush and bustle.”
