How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.

From 15 m² standard rooms to two 40 m² suites
The two standard rooms, at 15 m² each, are the smallest. The Standard Double Room has one double bed and sleeps up to 3; the Standard Twin Room has two twin beds and also sleeps up to 3. Either works for a couple, with the twin layout lending itself to friends sharing.
The Basement Triple Room, at 30 m², has three twin beds though it sits on the basement level, as its name says. The Family Room, 1 Bedroom is 25 m², with one double bed and one twin bed, and sleeps up to 4.
The Family Suite has one double bed and two twin beds, giving a group three separate sleeping spots under one roof. The Connecting Double Room has two double beds, which suits two couples travelling together who want their own beds without booking two rooms.
Despite the word Family in two of the room names, these are rooms for groups of adults: children are not allowed at this hotel.

Adults only: no children, no pets
Children are not allowed and pets are not allowed, which makes the hotel an adults-only property in practice. The Family Suite and the Family Room, 1 Bedroom are built around their bed arrangements, not around a family policy, so they serve adult groups sharing larger spaces.
Check-in from 14:00, check-out until 12:00
Check-in is from 14:00, the latest check-in is 10:30, and check-out is until 12:00. Travellers planning an arrival or departure around those times should plan around them directly, since the airports sit about 30.7 km (SAW) and 34.1 km (IST) away in a straight line.
Who the Nowy Efendi suits
Couples and groups of adults are the natural fit: children and pets are both excluded, and the room range runs from compact 15 m² standards to 40 m² suites that let a group share space comfortably. The hotel is wheelchair accessible, and it has a banquet hall, which points to group events and functions as well as individual stays.
It does not suit families travelling with children, or anyone bringing a pet. Anyone set on a room with a view should note that no room type here specifies one.
