    Location is wonderful! Close to many historic buildings in a walking distance. We got a sea view room and the view was spectacular. The staff were friendly and very polite. The welcoming Turkish tea/coffee was a plus! They even brought fruit to our room. Definitely come back to this hotel:)

    10Anshuman P.Posted on: 9-3-2025

    Breakfast was good. Room was comfortable, we were upgraded to family suite. Location is amazing, close to most of the spots and tram station. Really appreciate staff for making late checkout arrangements. Made our day. Staff was really helpful. Lots of eating joints nearby which are open till late, so if you are checking in late, dont worry about going hungry for the night.

    Beds could have been more comfortable.

    10AhmedPosted on: 8-28-2025

    Hotel Historia Istanbul is a wonderful place to stay. The location is excellent, close to all major attractions yet peaceful. The staff are extremely accommodating and genuinely friendly, always ready to help. Cleanliness was immaculate throughout the hotel. Breakfast was a highlight – fresh, delicious, and of excellent quality. Highly recommended for travelers looking for comfort and convenience in Istanbul.

    Everything was really good staff, location, cleanliness and good value of money.

    The size of the room were very small

    9OlyaPosted on: 8-1-2025

    Clean and comfortable rooms, very welcoming and helpful staff. Really good breakfast. Excellent laundry service. Relatively quiet at night despite being at the center of everything. Close to a lot of attractions in Sultanahmet. Great restaurant in front of the hotel with excellent food and staff: Rainbow.

    Wi-Fi tends to disconnect sometimes.

    8GiorgioPosted on: 7-9-2025

    A good breakfast is served in a nice and cozy courtyard.Rooms are very quiet. You really breath History.

    10KimPosted on: 7-5-2025

    Nice ocean view, outstanding breakfast with lots of choice. Few minutes by walk to all attractions. Small room than most hotels so don't expect rooms like USA.

    Only one outlet in the bedroom which makes it difficult to connect electronic devices. Good advise to bring a multi plug adopters.

    9LucindaPosted on: 6-11-2025

    Delightful hotel in a great location. We had a room with a lovely view over the water. We walked to all the sights in Sultanahmet. The staff were very helpful, the breakfast good.

    Everything was super.

    10JuliethPosted on: 6-8-2025

    Clean, prime location, sea view

    8SuzannaPosted on: 4-22-2025

    Friendly helpful staff, very convenient location, breakfast had a good selection of food, room was clean

    Room on 6th floor was pretty small, but had everything necessary

    10DenisPosted on: 4-18-2025

    Breakfast was great. Loved the salads and greens for breakfast. Staff and Reception were friendly and helpful. Location was great with the bazaar and restaurants right at our doorstep. We would stay here again and recommend.

    Some fruit could have been cut up or a sharper knife available so we could cut up the nice oranges/pears. It was just a bit difficult to use the bread knife.

    9DeborahPosted on: 4-16-2025

    Prime location, we never needed to take a taxi. Also very cosy for the unpredictable weather. I liked that the room could accommodate 4 of us. Staff could not have been lovelier.

    It’s a little dated. Beds aren’t really comfortable. The hairdryer is really loud and hot.

    7VitallllyPosted on: 4-11-2025

    Little cozy hotel in the center of Istanbul. Rooms are small, but tidy and have all basic stuff you need if you are for a short stay and not intending to spend a lot of time in the room. Fridge, complimentary water, bathtub (!), decent size balcony.

    Breakfast is very scarce.

    10UsmanPosted on: 4-9-2025

    The location was really close to all attractions in sultanahmet. 8 mins walk to blue mosque and hagia sofia square. you dont need taxi or public transport to go to many of the attractions like topkapi palace, hagia sofia, blue mosque, cistern basilica. Grand bazaar, bhosporous ferry rides, galata tower, are just a tram ride away. Breakfast was amazing. Had a wide range of options in the breakfast, really enjoyed it. Staff is really nice and helpful. Stayed here again after 8 years. Nothing changed about the property from breakfast to rooms. It can be a good thing or a bad thing... depends on how you look at it :)

    It's an old property so has a bit of a character to it. The rooms furniture could be updated a bit.
