We were very surprised with this small hotel in the middle of Sultanahmet (Old City) and right behind the Blue Mosque. A REAL GEM!! Walking distance to many main attractions, shops and restaurants. Fantastic and helpful staff, from the receptionists, up to the chef (preparing a delicious breakfast each morning), and up to the friendly cleaning lady. Complimentary coffee, cake and fruit available throughout the day. We would like to thank each member of the staff for making our stay something special. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to visit Istanbul. HOTEL NOVANO DESERVES A RATING OF 10!! MARIETA (FROM SOUTH AFRICA) and LUCY (FROM MADEIRA)

Blue Mosque

Constructed between 1609 and 1616, the striking Sultan Ahmed Mosque – or ‘Blue Mosque’ – is still a place of worship today. With no war victories to fund it, this opulent structure had to be paid for straight from the treasury – angering the Ottoman legal scholars of the time! Non-Muslim visitors are encouraged to visit, but should be respectful of the strict dress code.

    The Blue Mosque — Sacred Stillness in a Lively World

    The Blue Mosque — Sacred Stillness in a Lively World Stepping into the courtyard of the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii) is like crossing into another time. Its towering minarets and sweeping domes echo with centuries of prayer, artistry, and devotion — a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture that still breathes with the spirit of Islam. Inside, the air is silent despite the buzz of tourists. Light filters through stained-glass windows, dancing across thousands of hand-painted blue Iznik tiles. There’s a deep reverence here — not only for faith, but for heritage itself. You feel it in every arch, every call to prayer, every quiet footstep across the carpeted floor. And yet, outside the mosque, life unfolds with its own charm: cats stretch lazily in sun-warmed corners, dogs nap peacefully under shady trees. Meanwhile, travelers from every corner of the world struggle for the perfect angle — clicking away hundreds of “crazy” photos, but always with a sense of wonder. Despite the crowds, the atmosphere remains remarkably friendly and trustworthy. Locals smile. Tourists help each other with photos. There's an unspoken agreement to respect the moment — and the place. This isn’t just a tourist stop. It’s a symbol — of culture that knows how to honor the past without shutting the present out. And it leaves you walking away with something more than just pictures.

    Ensure that you have clothing that covers your knees, apllicable to both men and women. Women additionally need to ensure that they have a headscarf to cover head and shoulders. They now charge for the coverings if you don't have

    As a Christian, first time in a mosque, I was impressed. The colors and architecture are impressive. I was lucky enough to have the accommodation 5min away so I could enjoy the beauty before going in, one night before. I recognize I was disguised by the non-Muslims that are not able to respect other people beliefs and gets in the prayer area just for pictures. Pity them. You should never put your pictures before the place you are, no matter what.

    One of the most sought after architectural wonders. It’s free. But dress appropriately. No bare shoulders, no bare knees and women need a scarf to cover their heads. Best to go prepared but you will also need given disposable covers at the entrance.

    There are many many well dressed VERY friendly and helpful men willing to show you around, avoid them, do not talk to them! They are all trying to sell you something. They can get aggressive if you engage them and the try to leave, best to avoid them and keep walking.

    Booked the hotel after seeing the good reviews and it didn’t disappoint. Staff were very attentive, we were welcomed with drinks which was great after travelling from the airport. Emre gave us recommendations on what to do/where to eat which helped a lot. Housekeeping did a great job and it was only a short walk away from the blue mosque/Hagia Sophia.

    I really enjoyed my stay and I would definitely recommend this hotel. It is located just about 7 minutes by walk from the Blue Mosque, and yet the neighborhood is still quite quiet, which I loved. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast always had a variety of options to choose from.

    I stayed at this hotel with my family and we only have good things to say about it. The hotel is wonderful! It has an amazing location, just a short walk from the Blue Mosque. The rooftop where breakfast is served offers stunning views. But for us, the best part was the staff. Everyone was so kind, especially Omer, who always greeted us with a smile and gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. If we ever come back to Istanbul, we will definitely stay at this hotel again.

    Wasn’t expecting to leave on that side of Istanbul, but we ended up really liking it. The hotel is within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Beyazid Mosque. The Grand Bazaar and metro line are just a 5-minute walk away. We also discovered plenty of local amenities nearby, from street food vendors to traditional goods shops. The hotel staff were especially helpful in arranging day tours, which we thoroughly enjoyed as a couple.
