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
