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 ,

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.

The staff was great and very helpful. They always offered us coffee and refreshments and were always ready to answer all our questions. In addition, the location of the hotel is very convenient as it is close to many tourristic sites as well as to the Tram. We had the family room, it is a bit small and has basics only and seems a bit old but it was clean and suitable for us as we only used it to sleep and spent all day outside. The breakfast is simple and didn't have many options. As an overall experience, it was good and I would stay again in the hotel.

The staff were very friendly , the breakfast was excellent, location is lovely , would be better if family rooms that accommodate 4 people had a balcony with full sea view instead of buildings .Disappointingly the bathroom had a small vent on floor which constantly smelt of sewage . i mentioned the smell they said will be resolved ,Also bathroom was very narrow ,but other than that definitely recommended and will visit again.

The converted mansion has attentive staff and management. The are ready to help you arrange any detail of your exploration of Istanbul. The rooms are comfortable, and practical - a great value. The morning breakfast buffet is very good. Best of all, The location is excellent. Within a very short stroll to the Sultanahmet Square, it is strategically situated near the heart of Turkish art, history and culture. There are many reasonably priced restaurants nearby, and scores of meandering arcades with shops and stalls selling everything you might hope to find in the Grand Bazaar yet at even greater bargains. Every walk to the many cultural sites includes opportunities to find treasures at every turn. From Sultanahmet, there is easy access to the public metro network which provides inexpensive and efficient access to the entire city. I cannot imagine a more ideal base from which to partake of the adventures Istanbul has in store.

Best hotel staff ever ...
I usually don’t leave reviews here but the staff here aren’t it, every single one of them. Always ready to help with a smile, this is hospitality. The location, you just can’t beat, major historic sites are a short walk, five minutes to Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, etc. The only request I have for the hotel is to upgrade the room furniture and invest a bit in towels. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who can live without the luxury of a 5 start resort experience. When I travel I only use the hotel to sleep 😴 if I spend too much time in the hotel room, something else in the trip isn’t going well. Here it was good to sleep with a nice breakfast to start the long days. And ofcourse then there was cake and tea for a late afternoon stop. And again the staff made everything special, keep it up guys, you are the best and I am definetly sending folks your way.
