Nova Hotel

GOOD: I. Location - great. Inside Octogar Station. ii. Large size Room for Istanbul. iii. Very clean. iv. Furnishings satisfactory. BAD: i. Internet -- horrible. Virtually unusable -- intermittent signal, and when working slower than dial up modem from 30 years ago. Seriously! ii. VERY NOISY -- all night noise from outside buses and bus staff talking loud and shouting. iii. Bathroom entry with high step is big safety hazard. iv. Reception/Desk Staff indifferent. v. Breakfast -- very below average. No cereal; no eggs, no yogurt, and no meat of any kind. Only sliced Bread, several cheeses, and jelly. Plus cucumbers, tomatoes and olives, and some soup. No Recommendation. Would probably try another Hotel next time -- e.g. the neighboring Lidar Hotel also in the Octogar Station.
