My stay at Nova Plaza Crystal Hotel & Spa was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, just a stone's throw from Taksim Square, making it super easy to explore the city. However, I was pretty disappointed with the noise levels; I could hear everything happening outside, which made it tough to get a good night's sleep.

Rooms

The room was on the smaller side and had a bit of a cramped feel. I noticed the mattress wasn't the best, kind of just layers of foam stacked together. But it was clean, which I appreciated.

The staff were really friendly and accommodating, with guys like Yilmaz making me feel welcome. Their customer service was generally good, but I did run into some hiccups now and then, like not hearing back from them about my final bill.

The hotel had some nice facilities like a cozy pool, but the room keys were a pain, deactivating multiple times. Overall, it seemed well-maintained, though.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Nova Plaza Crystal Hotel & Spa. While the location was fantastic, so close to Taksim Square and numerous dining options, the noise levels in my room were quite bothersome. The staff, particularly Yilmaz and Orhan, were friendly and helpful, adding a nice touch to the experience. However, the elevators were slow, and the lack of stable water temperature in the shower made things frustrating at times.

Rooms
6.0
The room I stayed in was decent for the price, but noise was an issue due to thin walls. I encountered some rooms with no windows, which could be quite claustrophobic. Overall, cleanliness was maintained well, but the overall comfort could be improved.
Service
7.0
The staff were generally responsive and attentive. I appreciated their willingness to assist with my requests, but some breakfast service could be better organized as many staff members seemed exhausted.

The hotel’s location was its best feature. Being so close to Taksim Square made it easy to explore the city, with various restaurants and transport options nearby.

Breakfast was satisfactory, featuring made-to-order items like omelets, but could have had a wider variety. It was fine overall, yet could be better organized, especially during peak times.
Facilities

Although the hotel had several amenities such as a pool, unfortunately, it was not functioning during my stay. Other facilities like housekeeping were up to par, but there were occasional hiccups with missing tea and water supplies in the room.

I had a mixed experience at Nova Plaza Crystal Hotel & Spa. While the location near Taksim Square was incredibly convenient for exploring the city, I was disappointed with the room conditions and some staff interactions. Though there were staff members like Kübra who were exceptionally helpful, others left much to be desired. The breakfast spread was enjoyable, but overall, the hotel showed signs of age that negatively influenced my stay.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms were smaller than I expected, and although they were clean, I encountered a persistent bad smell in mine. The bathroom layout was cramped, making it difficult to move around comfortably.
Service
5.0
There were a few standout staff members who provided great service, such as Kübra and Yılmaz. However, some interactions, particularly at the reception, felt unfriendly and unhelpful.
Location

The hotel's location was one of its best features, just a short walk to Taksim Square and close to metro stations for convenient travel around Istanbul.
Dining

Breakfast had a good variety with made-to-order options, but overall it wasn't really good. More attention to the food labeling and drink quality would be beneficial.
Facilities

The facilities were decent, but the elevator needed maintenance and some areas of the hotel appeared old and neglected. The cleanliness was maintained well, but improvements could be made in overall amenities.

My stay at Nova Plaza Crystal Hotel & Spa was marked by the really good attentiveness of the staff, particularly Yilmaz, who made me feel welcomed. The room, however, was rather small and the bathroom amenities left much to be desired. While the location was convenient, right next to Taksim Square, the average breakfast options were a bit disappointing.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was quite compact, and the bathroom featured a sink that was too small for comfortable use. Though it had a balcony with a nice view, I expected more space from a four-star hotel.

I was disappointed to find that the pool was out of service during my visit. Other amenities were functional but nothing stood out as particularly impressive.

My stay at Nova Plaza Crystal Hotel & Spa was a bit of a rollercoaster. The location, situated near Taksim Square, was ideal for exploring the city. but the room itself left much to be desired, being quite small and dark. The staff, particularly Kubra, were incredibly helpful and made my experience more pleasant, despite some shortcomings with the breakfast and noise levels at night.
