The hotel was completly outdated - it does not appear to have been renovated for about 30 years. The bath was stained brown and there weere dirt stains all up the wall. It is very noisy in the rooms - walls are thin. The staff are very helpful and it is located 5 mins from the blue mosque. Breakfast is... More

On arrival the hotel had double booked, meaning we had to stay at their "sister hotel" the first night, but the staff were very apologetic. We even received an apology letter and a box of Turkish delights.... The staff overall were extremely helpful and friendly, which made our stay in Istanbul very easy. The location is excellent, being only a... More

Fantastic location, great staff, great food, great rooms. This hotel is a must for a stay in Istanbul you will not get a better location or value for money than here. Everything went well and nothing was a problem for the staff. I have stayed in big expensive hotels but they do not have the personal touch of this hotel.

We only had time for 3 nights, but it was suuuuuper. First night it was not possible to have separate beds, but next day.......yes we did. Staff is THE BEST we ever saw. Food is so much and good. Place is the best to go if you want relax. Noise is possible at any hotel. Just take something to close... More

We visited many other hotels around Turkey in the 4 weeks since our visit to the Historia and their hospitality and kindness stands out as exceptional. The rooms are lovely, the location and aspect great and the breakfast the one of the best we encountered. But, it was the staff who made our visit so noteworthy, regardless of the language... More

Great location, round the corner from blue mosque and short walking distance to all the most important sights! Staff are brilliant and always happy to help.

Just back from a short visit to Istanbul. This hotel was recommended by a friend and we were not disappointed. Excellent communication with the manager before start of the trip till we departed from the hotel. Clean and excellent house keeping. Staff are friendly and ready to help anytime. location of the hotel is fantastic.

Our family (wife and 2 kids - 6 and 12) recently had the good fortune to spend a few days in Istanbul and spend 3 nights at Hotel Historia. From our initial correspondence with the manager to the time we left, we received prompt and accurate advice and information. The staff were always friendly and helpful and made us feel... More

We have just returned from a 4 night stay in Istanbul. We chose this hotel on the basis of previous reviews and have to say that we were not disappointed at all. The hotel is clean & very comfortable. We had a room on the top floor with a balcony, it was on the small side yet absolutely spotless. Bed... More
