We went to Istanbul for a short break in November. The hotel was highly recommended by a friend of us, who stayed there before. The position is amazing, just a few steps from Hagia Sopia and from the Blue Mosque, that could be seen also from our bedroom, but also walking distance from Topkapi Palace, the Bazaar and Galata Bridge. Staff has been really friendly and hepful, expecially the hotel manager. The morning breakfast was quite ok, not too impressing. The only negative aspect of the hotel was the room, very cleaned but really too small, probably smaller than all other rooms in the hotel, we couldn't move one step if the luggages where opened on the floor, not enough space in the wardrobe. Also, there was really a bad smell coming from the bathroom. A part from this, we srongly recommend "Historia Hotel" and we would definitely go there again if returning to Istanbul.
