My friend and I spent four full days in Istanbul at the beginning of October. We stayed at the Hotel Historia, which had been recommended to us by colleagues. It turned out to be all we could have hoped for! The two of us (both girls) rather spontaneoulsy embarked on this trip and left completely unprepared (without even a guide-book),... more

Stayed for a week with friends, sightseeing. Easy to book via venere.com. The hotel is ideally located in a small cul de sac in Sultanamhet. This is only a few minutes walk from Haghia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Cavalry Bazaar, Mosaics Museum etc and lots of small restaurants, bars, shops. Our rooms overlooked the Bosphorus and one had a small balcony... more

Wa stayed four nights in this hotel, a little hotel in a nice ottoman building. First, it's very well located, in the Sultanahmet area. Just 2 ou 3 minutes walk to Hagia Sofia.

Our rooms were fantastic. They were admittedly very basic, but they had everything you could need. Our first room had a little balcony... more

This hotel exceeded my expectations on all fronts. The staff were friendly, attentive and efficient and the rooms were very comfortable. Most importantly, the rooms were spotless and the bathrooms were very clean and had consistent hot water. The hotel is located 10 minutes from the Sultanahmet tram stop, tucked away on a small, quiet cul-du-sac. For a small room... more

I have been in Istanbul for two weeks for a business trip but it was like a great trip to such a wonderful city. The hospitality of Turkish people and people in this hotel was over the standards I have ever seen around the world. Located in the heart of historical places, this hotel will be my only choice at... more

I just came back from Istanbul...I wanted to share the unforgettable moments at Historia Hotel...Firstly, the very first moment at Historia, I felt "at home." To explain in detail , I can say that the owner, a young gentleman welcomed us at the front door, while I and my husband were enjoying the "Turkish coffee" (I urge the espresso lovers... more

After reading all the positive reviews we went ahead with staying at this hotel. What a mistake. My husband and child arrived and were given a room next to the reception so had to endure loud voices all through the night until 4am! The city view room we were promised comprised of a view of a shabby rail track and... more
