Superbe établissement. Personnel au top avec une gentillesse et un professionnalisme génial ...situation géographique Parfaite près de la place Sultanamet. Petit déjeuner parfait avec du choix ...seul petit bémol : le mobilier un peu vieillot mais cela reste peu important aux vues de tous les côtés positifs de cet hôtel ! J'y retournerai sûrement !!

Loved the attention. They have a metro card that you can replenish if you want to move around the city center. The hotel is very close to everything. Do not take the Big Bus. Do use the tram or walk. Negotiate prices with shops. Enjoy local night life and the food! Turkish are very nice.

The hotel is in a very convenient location. Breakfast was really good. The room toilet had a very bad smell of a blocked drain. At times we were not able to enter the toilet because the smell was so strong. Beds were not at all comfortable. The mattresses had springs poking out.

Location was very central , with easy access to nearby sight seeing and also just around 10 mins walk to the tram station . You can enjoy going to Topcapi , Aya Sophia and Blue Masque , also you can treat your self with luxury Hurrem Sultan Hamam . Just to mention the old historic area around is really nice to enjoy your dinner with Turkish tea and hookah . Staff was vert friendly, every single one of them and very helpful . breakfast was great , and we enjoy how they served us friendly . In lobby you can try excellent tea and provided at any time free of charge. Don't hesitate to book it , it is really worth it :) Just the only concern was the wifi connectivity that was a low in rooms ,

La presentazione da voi fatta sul sito è ingannevole, camera piccolissima e inadatta a chi magari ha bagagli consistenti al seguito. Impossibile soggiornarvi. Personale cortese, dopo la prima notte ci hanno concesso una camera più grande. Colazione buona.

The location of the hotel was exemplary. In walking distance, 5 minutes north from the hotel was the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet Square, from which other attractive sights such as the Grand Bazaar are easily accessible and local to. 5 Minutes south was the sea and the alluring views it entails. If you want a feel of the Istanbul transport, the Sultanhamet tram station is also a short walk away. In addition, the hotel benefits profoundly from an array of restaurants within 100 meter radius, all with a distinct quality. The moment you step out of the hotel, on both sides of the street there are restuarants in abundance. Whether its fish with a street view, or a quick wrap on the go or lunch with a rooftop of Sultanahmet and the sea, you will find whatever you are after without having to walk for more than a minute. In the hotel, the staff are faultless. Historia provides you with that cosy, homely and relaxed atmosphere.When it comes to assistance with excursions and activities, they are impeccable and on hand to assist with absolute anything. They sorted out transport and access to the Bosphorus tour and insisted we pay in our own time. The hotel is exactly what one would desire when seeking accommodation in Istanbul. A comfortable and peaceful place to sleep throughout the night, a complimentary breakfast to provide an energy boost in the morning and a splendid location so that you are minutes away from the landmark sights that complete Istanbul's appeal.
