“History Hotel impressed me with its prime location, steps from Istanbul's main attractions like the Grand Bazaar and accessible via metro and tram. While admittedly basic in its facilities-no kettles or full dining-it offers clean rooms and a quiet night's sleep, a solid option for travelers prioritizing location and budget. I found that its proximity to other hotels adds to the convenience without the hefty price tag.”
