Great service and wonderful Turkish breakfast with many choices on the beautiful rooftop terrace. There was an elevator which helped us tremendously after long days of touring. The location is excellent to see the top sites of the city and its steps away from the tram which runs frequently. If you want to stay in the old city this Is and excellent choice.

Questo hotel è veramente perfetto per un soggiorno piacevole e fruttuoso ad Istanbul! L'hotel è in una posizione davvero strategica per tutto: Moschea Blu, Gran Bazar, Hagia Sofia, Bazar Egiziano, traghetti sul Bosforo, etc!!!!! Inoltre è vicinissimo alla fermata del T1 che porta quasi ovunque! Ma quello che davvero ci ha fatti stare bene è il supporto che ci hanno dato per qualunque cosa! Huseyin ci ha seguite passo passo per qualunque problema e ci ha salvato durante le difficoltà...è stato davvero disponibile e gentile, un supporto online con whatsapp continuo, efficiente ed ONESTO! Inoltre nei dintorni c'è tantissima scelta per mangiare, per negozietti, bar, etc. Si fa colazione su un terrazzo da cui si vede la moschea BLU e il personale della colazione è fantastico ( (una mattina avevamo una gita e mi hanno fatto il caffè in anticipo). Le camere sono un po' piccole ma pulitissime, ci sono sempre tanti asciugamani puliti e carta igienica, non bisogna chiedere mai niente!!! Alla fine ci hanno persino pesato le valigie nell'hotel di fianco e dato dell'acqua per arrivare all'aeroporto...mi sono sentita a casa in un posto splendido! SUPER CONSIGLIATO!

Honest review alert - overall Nomade was better than expected but I will point out a few things to keep in mind. Positives- customer service was excellent. Selman was the most gracious and helpful customer service person we have ever dealt with anywhere. Ask him about tours and shops and he will give honest advice, and may be able to save you a couple bucks on a booking. Oscar and breakfast chef were also exceptional- Great location.Steps to the blue mosque, Aya Sofia, transport, the Roman Hippodrome, and all the restaurants, shops, and hookah joints you could ask for. SAFE area. There was not a hint of any safety concerns- free breakfast was traditional Turkish with many options served. For foreigners used to salty meats and pancakes, you won't find a lot to sate your cravings. But if you have a wide palate, you'll be satisfied. - Rooftop terrace where breakfast was served - what a view of the Aya Sofia, etc. Amazing. Terrace open til midnight but no food or drinks for sale. We were served tea and a pastry for free when we arrived before our room was ready. Grab some takeout and beer from a local store and enjoy the terrace one night. Not great attributes - keep in mind all the positives above and the PRICE of the hotel. - noisy - we had room 404, right under the terrace level, 5, and without our earplugs, the noise from guests upstairs would have woken us up early. The fridges are too loud for light sleepers without earplugs. Bring earplugs, solved. - aesthetically not grea

The location is amazing; almost everything you’ll want to see is a short walking distance from the hotel. The staff are incredible; very friendly and always willing to help/offer suggestions. The breakfast is great! The beds are small, but I found very comfortable. Negatives being: very small rooms, a loud fridge that we had to unplug, and an ant problem in the washroom.

Wonderful location across the street from Sultanahmet square. Tram lines are just outside and very convenient. Breakfast was fine, but the cooked eggs were cold because they had no warming plate and the drip coffee machine was way too small for the amount of people eating there. It was often empty. Get used to the sounds of the city and the restaurant hawkers outside trying to sell food and drinks. Nothing unusual for such a highly tourist city: the same happens all over. BUT what was unexpected and not welcome at all was our front desk clerk becoming annoyed and frustrated at me because we didn't book any tours with him. We came to see Istanbul, taking the trams and ferries and seeing the sights. We had no interest in an *8 hour* bus expedition or a Bosphorus tour with whirling dervish show. We asked for a simple quiet dinner cruise to see the sights but they didn't offer anything but a full tourist dinner-and-show package. We tried to work with them but none of their tours were what we enjoy doing. I understand they must get kickbacks from booking these, but I've NEVER had a hotel clerk get angry at me for not taking their tour packages. Also: he wanted us to give him our Istanbul transit cards before we left? Like a bum at a subway station. What a terrible impression. Lastly, he kept asking us to pay our bill in CASH EUROS rather than credit card on file w Expedia. I use my credit card for security and points, why would I leave the app to pay cash? Shady.

Great Hotel in the Perfect Location in the city!

A great hotel in the perfect location for 5 nights stay in Istanbul. The staff were friendly and helpful during my stay and the rooms were very comfortable. The bathroom/shower were good (I'm quite particular with bathrooms). Breakfast on the rooftop each morning was amazing! Only a few minutes walk to Ayasofia and Sultanahmet mosques. Perfect location to all the sites and restaurants in the city. Highly recommended and would stay again if I visit the city again.

I had a very nice stay in Nomad hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the location is fantastic, and the rooftoop terrace makes for an unforgetable breakfast experience. Only minus: you can hear all the noise from the corridor, but there are only few rooms on each floor so it wasnt too bad.

If you don’t mind a dirty room, great location

The location is very good. Right across the street from the blue mosque and walking distance to many attractions. Tramway stop a block away. The room was as to be expected but there is much noise from adjacent rooms, the water heater was on the roof of our room so constant noise. Typical Turkish Breakfast in a rooftop patio who at night has amazing views. I won’t return to this hotel because is the lack of cleanliness. I had to complain every day if my stay because their concept of clean varies significantly from mine. The glass cups in the room were filthy as well as the mugs and the coffee jug. We washed everything the first day and the cleaning lady never bothered to clean them. She just left them as they were. Had to go up to the 5th floor to get clean ones ourselves in the daily. On top of this the floor wasn’t swept not mopped since we arrived. Various signs of lack of attention to detail in the cleaning department in the restroom. The staff was courteous but I wouldn’t go as far as to call them friendly with the exception of one of the guys at reception who went the distance.
