Nobel Oteli

Eastern Mediterranean


Behind the big, brash and very yellow exterior, the Nobel is a smart choice in the heart of the city, with 90 big, comfortable rooms over seven floors that come with some deft design touches and satellite TV. The foyer is a hive of business activity, and the adjoining restaurant is popular at lunch. Excellent value.
