• Inna (9/5): - The location of the accommodation was very convenient, everything was clean and well-maintained. The host was extremely kind, helpful, and welcoming. Highly recommended!
• Ekaterina (8/5): - Отличное расположение! Центр буквально 20 минут медленной прогулки. Рядом куча кафе и ресторанов с разными ценами. Почему-то дважды нам сделали замечание вечером, что мы шумели. Оба раза в 21.30. Мы не шумели, не орали, музыку не включали, а просто сидели и болтали. Не поняла совершенно.
• Juan (10/5): - Очень приятный персонал, заботливый и внимательный. Все было чисто и комфортно. Хорошее расположение, 15 минут пешком до голубой мечети. Нам все понравилось!
• ΙΩΑΝΝΑ (10/5): - Η τοποθεσία ήταν πολύ καλή,κοντά σε αξιοθέατα,με τα πόδια και δίπλα σε μέσα μεταφοράς.Ειχε πολλά μαγαζιά παραπάνω,ταβέρνες,καφέ και μάρκετ.Το δωμάτιο ήταν πολύ ζεστό και καθαρό,είχε όλα τα απαραίτητα!
• Gabit (10/5): -
• Noah (10/5): Sehr gute Zeit gehabt, in der man genießen konnte. - Sehr sauber und sehr netter Gastgeber, alles problemlos funktioniert, auch späte Anreise und frühe Abreise. Recht hellhörig und härteres Bett, aber immer noch in gutem Rahmen. Anbindung zur Metro ist etwas weiter.
• Emma (10/5): - Super logement ! L'emplacement est très bien, on s'est senti en sécurité, et c'était propre. Merci Mansour pour ton accueil et ta gentillesse 😊 TEŞEKKÜR EDERIM
• Estella (7/5): -
• Jerneja (9/5): - The rooms are small, but suffice if you spend most of the time outside. We only had one sunny day and the garden was an added bonus. The doors could be better, there was about half a centimeter gap in between the doors to the room and the door frame; the doors to the bathroom were incredibly hard to close properly.
• MIWA (8/5): -
• Aneta (9/5): Everything was great, I would definitely recommend this place. - I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, with easy access to shops and restaurants nearby. The area feels very safe, which made the experience even more comfortable. The staff member, Mr. Mahsun, was extremely friendly and helpful and was always available and easy to communicate with. The room was warm and cozy, and the heating worked perfectly, which was very important.
• Yeste Iglesias (10/5): Genial - El dueño es majisimo!!! Muchas gracias, amigo Desde España Todo perfecto
• Ayano (9/5): 最高！また泊まりたい！ - 立地がとてもよかったです。ハギアソフィアなどの主要観光地は徒歩20分くらいでいけるし、ホテルの近くのレストランは比較的安くてとても美味しかったです。スーパーも近くにあります。スタッフは英語があまり話せませんが、フレンドリーで優しくて、問題ありませんでした😁👍 とても快適に過ごせました！ ここのホテルに限らず、坂がすごいので、大きなスーツケースがある時は大変そうです。 ローカルハマムもとても近く、よい経験でした！ 一番上の15号室に泊まりましたが、Wi-Fiのつながりがあまりよくありませんでした。
• Xinyao (10/5): -
• Laura (9/5): - The location was excellent, very close to major historic sites and restaurants. The room was comfortable and the overall atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The staff were friendly and helpful when needed, and the place offered good value for money.
• Faheem (10/5): - The hotel is awesome starting from the very nice and welcoming owners, the clean rooms and the perfect location. The hotel is very near the city centre. I really reccomand it to everyone. Omer is the greatest person very very helpful
• MARTIN (10/5): - Omer was very hospitable. He hosted us very well and tried to help us with everything.
• Julia (10/5): -
• Giulia (10/5): Abbiamo soggiornato 5 giorni al Lovely History, ci siamo trovati molto bene. Camera pulita e hotel vicino alla zona dei - La pulizia e la cortesia dello staff

• Marculescu (10/5): -
• Brandon (10/5): Lovely hotel, very friendly staff - Great staff - very helpful. Rooms very modern and comfortable
• Cristian Andrei (10/5): -
• HANIA (8/5): - La limpieza y decoración La cama no me resultó demasiado cómoda ni la almohada.
• Cywiljusz (10/5): - Świetny kontakt z włąścicielem. Niezła lokalizacja - 20 minut piechotą do Błękitnego Meczetu - niestety, pod górę. 10 minut do kolejki, 20 minut do tramwaju.
• Maylex (10/5): Un encanto - La ubicación y la atención de Omër, realmente un agrado quedarse en este hotel. Todo en orden, nada que decir
• Laeeq (10/5): Great value for money - The staff was really helpful and warm. It was a cute lil cozy room with an aesthetic window view. The lighting in the room could be improved, plus some soundproofing of the walls would be nice.
• Chechi (8/5): -
• Valentina (10/5): - Очень приятный персонал. Попросили заменить батарейки в пульте от телевизора-в тот же вечер новые батарейки уже были в пульте. В дождливый день сами предложили зонт. В номере чисто и приятно. Дизайн комнаты симпатичный. Есть холодильник. Слышно соседей сверху и за соседней стеной.
• Nur Safina (9/5): - We stayed here for the whole week we were in istanbul. Omer was very helpful, friendly and speaks good English. the room was lovely and cosy. it was just nice for 2 of us. the location was a bit of a walk to the sultanahmet area where main attractions are. nearby bus station and metro station is kumkapi which is a short walk from lovely history. i’m very glad we decided to stay here. Just that we had to walk to go to sultanahmet area.
• Cojocaru (10/5): -
• Cojocaru (10/5): - Un loc unde cu siguranță ne vom întoarce . Hotel Foarte curat și personalul hotelului foarte amabil . Zona este foarte bună deoarece este aproape de bazar și multe restaurante . 10/10
• Fedor (9/5): - Омер очень дружелюбный и гостеприимный хозяин. В номере было чисто и комфортно. Кровать идеальна. Спасибо огромное за такой хороший опыт
• KHAN (9/5): -
• Anni (10/5): would stay again! - The location is great, close to the nearby restaurants and shops, and not far from the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque etc. Omer is very chill and friendly. Lovely, cozy hotel with small, clean and practical rooms that have everything you need from mini fridge to aircon, warm water and space to hang your clothes. Bed was a bit hard and small for two persons, but it's a matter of opinion. You can hear the noice from the street and also the sounds from the other rooms so take ear plugs.
• Pino e Vaiva (10/5): - È stato un soggiorno perfetto - la location, la struttura e la gentilezza di Omer. Non esitate a scegliere questo posto, anche noi già pensiamo di ritornare. Grazie di cuore per l'accoglienza🌿 -
• Marie (10/5): Výborná volba pro nenáročné - Velmi milý a ochotný personál, malý, ale účelně vybavený pokoj a koupelna. Cena velmi příznivá vzhledem k lokalitě. 15 min. pěšky do centra Starého města, 10 min. k moři. Klidné bydlenǰ. Nic nebxlo staré a opotřebované. Nemám připomínky.
• Vanessa (10/5): - Nuestra estancia en lovely history ha sido encantadora, muy limpio y la habitación suficiente para ir a dormir es acogedora, no está lejos del tranvía para poder moverte y Omer ha sido muy amable con nosotros esperándonos a media noche por el retraso de nuestro vuelo, utilizamos el servicio de traslado y todo genial, Lo recomiendo totalmente, calidad precio excelente 🙂
• Paul (10/5): - I had such a great stay at Lovely History Boutique hotel. My room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Omer and Mahsum were very friendly and helpful. They always gave me good advice and they are both very honest people. I extended my stay because I liked the hotel so much. The hotel is very central, and a short walk to the Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. There are many cafes and bakeries nearby. I highly recommend staying at Lovely History Boutique hotel. Everything was perfect.
• Palamara (8/5): - Disponibilità
• Elena Gabriela (10/5): - Pozitionarea foarte buna! Desi este in Fatihul aglomerat si langa linia de tren , locatia este ferita de zgomot. Ne-am simtit foarte bine. Atat Omer cat si varul sau ne-au ajutat cu informatii referitoare la intregul sejur, sunt foarte prietenosi. Un minus a fost faptul ca nu exista parcare gratuita. Cu siguranta vom revenii la ei .
• Amr (5/5): Para 1 noche no más - El personal de recepción Las habitaciones son super pequeñas y se escucha absolutamente todo de la calle y del alojamiento entero, es una casa hecha “hostal”
• Imran (10/5): -
• Inkar (10/5): - Спасибо большое. Персонал хороший, вежливый. Все чисто 👍
• Leonard (10/5): Würde ich wieder machen. Preisleistungs Sieger in Istanbul - Am besten war der sehr nette Mitarbeiter. Unterkunft war schön, liebevoll gestaltet. Bad und Dusche relativ klein. Aber es geht vom Grundriss nicht anders. Das passt schon. Lage war gut, die Materialien vom Zimmer hochwertig. Bett ebenfalls gut. Fußläufig Supermärkte und Gastronomie 3min. -
• Luis (10/5): -
• Jessica (10/5): -
• Baimirova (10/5): -
• AYAKA (10/5): 空港と旧市街へのアクセス抜群で短期滞在に最適！ - スタッフの方が感じが良くて、別で予約した現地ツアーのツアー会社と連絡するために大変親身に助けていただきました。 空港からメトロM11、M2を乗り継いで、メインの観光地をお散歩しているうちに着くのでアクセスもとても良かったです。 旧市街エリアはこのホテルを拠点に基本徒歩で十分回ることができました。 メトロが動き出す前の早朝に出て空港に向かったのですが、空港行きのバス乗り場も徒歩15分ほどのスルタンアフメドモスクの前から出ているので、本当に便利な場所でした。
• KANAT (10/5): - Локация, есть магазины, трамвай автобусы Пол деревянный, все слышно. После 22:00 не походишь
• Тоголокова (9/5): -
• ilaria paolillo (10/5): - La estancia en el Lovely History fue maravillosa. El edificio se encuentra en una zona muy bonita a 15 minutos del centro pero tranquila sin la multitud de gente y sin ruidos. Las habitaciones son lindas, muy limpias y con todo lo que se puede necesitar ( incluso una pequeña nevera). El wifi funciona muy bien. El dueño Ömer y el chico que está por la noche son personas excepcionales. Te ayudan con lo que sea, muy amables, disponibles que cuidan mucho de los clientes y te hacen sentir como en casa. Me alojé primero 5 noches y luego 1 noche. Utilicé también el servicio de traslado al aeropuerto dos veces y todo perfecto. Cuando vuelva a Istanbul me quedaré aquí nuevamente. Lo recomiendo 100%.
• Ralf (9/5): -
• Kristina (10/5): -
• maxine (8/5): Hôtel très bien situé pour visiter Istanbul à pieds. - Localisation très bonne pour visiter Istanbul à pieds surtout la partie sultanamet et la tour Galata reste proche. Le personnel très accueillant. Le manque d'insonorisation avec la rue et la route passante derrière l'hôtel. Cela ne nous a pas empêché de dormir, mais si vous êtes sensible prenez des boules quies
• Francisco (10/5): - La ubicación y la buena onda Todo bien
• Andreas (10/5): - Das Hotel lag super in einem belebten Viertel und war nur circa 25 Gehminuten von vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten entfernt. Wir wurden von den Mitarbeitern sehr herzlich empfangen und es war immer jemand da, falls man etwas braucht. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und es war alles da, was man braucht.
• Anna (6/5): -
• Phuong Dung (8/5): Gastfreundliche Unterkunft - Sehr freundliche Hosts. Schöne, moderne Einrichtung - minimalistisch gehalten. Nähe Umgebung viele Essensmöglichkeiten mit Karte bezahlbar. Kurze Wege zu den Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten. Waschbecken sehr klein; sehr hellhörig - man muss Glück mit den Nachbarn haben, weil man hört jeden Schritt und die Gespräche.
• Thaddeus (10/5): Great for a budget traveler, or someone looking for a comfortable stay near the coast - This is an amazing place to stay on a budget. The rooms were very clean and had all the amenities you could need. You’ll be walking up and down a hill to access the bazaar, but you can avoid the climb if you walk along the coast. By far the best part of my experience was how friendly and kind the host Omar is. He specifically made my stay in Istanbul x10 better It can be a downhill walk from the metro, and the bed is a little firm. Nothing big that takes away from such a great value and nice experience
• Чиквинидзе (10/5): -
• Rokas (10/5): Amazing value for money. - Super clean and new. Felt really at home when everything is that tidy. Host was very friendly.
• Balint (10/5): Tiszta, remek helyen, étterem-szupermarket a közelben. Agia Sophia/Nagy bazár kb 20perc gyalog - Nagyon tiszta, rendezett. Kedves volt a személyzet is. Van a közelben park, tenger, szuvenír bolt, szupermarket. Tökéletes volt. Hamarosan visszatérek. Reggeli müezzin eléggé behallatszódott.
• Joshua (8/5): Great value for money in an excellent location - Great location just 10-15 min walks from many of the main sites. Also the area this is in has great restaurants that are much cheaper than other central areas. Also good value for money and kind workers Just a few things. The bed was not comfortable - it was hard. It was fine for me since I have a bad back but my partner struggled to sleep. Also the bathroom sink is extremely small with no where to put your bathroom items.
• Jeremiasz (8/5): -
• XIAOYU (10/5): -
• Lo Nigro (10/5): I spent a week at this hotel in Istanbul and had a great stay. Omar and his colleague were very friendly and always read -

• Angelica (8/5): - La struttura è ben posizionata e ha un buon prezzo Comunicare con il personale è difficile perché parla solo turco
• 娟娟 (10/5): 舒服，开心，安心 - 酒店地理位置好，房间虽小，但很干净。最主要的是老板人真的很好很热情，体验感不错，下次还会入住这里。
• Barbara (9/5): - sehr gut gelegen, sehr freundliche Leute Zimmer war sehr kompakt, aber gemütlich sehr gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis an zwei Nächten war ein lauter Gast im Zimmer drüber, Ohropax empfehlenswert
• Veronika (10/5): - A lovely, compact hotel in a quiet part of the old town, thank you for the hospitality!
• Deborah (10/5): - Personeel is super vriendelijk en heel behulpzaam! Kamer was netjes, schoon en gezellig. En leuke tuin. Niets
• Carlota (9/5): Perfecto calidad precio - Muy limpio y acogedor. Personal muy servicial y amable. Tiene una pequeña terraza agradable. Se llega en 15 minutos a los lugares de interés. Se escucha todo, las paredes son muy finas. La terraza podrían mejorarla.
• Lara (10/5): - Posizione super comoda e molto tranquilla, a 10 minuti a piedi per visitare il centro. Nei dintorni ci sono vari parcheggi custoditi a pagamento ed altri servizi necessari. Lo staff eccezionale, ci hanno anche permesso di parcheggiare la moto all’interno del cortile! Se dovessi tornare tornerei sicuramente a Lovely History!!
• Vita (10/5): -
• Casey (10/5): - Everything was clean and all the staff are very nice. The location is great and we had a great time. Will come back here when we stay in Istanbul. Nothing
• Maria (10/5): - The room was very clean and comfortable, and the hotel is less than a ten minute walk away from the center. The staff were all great. Omar was very kind and helpful. He gave us recommendations and was very attentive all throughout our stay. It is without a doubt 10 out of 10. Nothing.
• Georgi (9/5): За тези пари е много добре. - Чисто,персонала е учтив и вежлив,тиха и спокойна уличка. Интернета е слаб,на моменти се губи,няма паркинг.
• Joanna (10/5): - Omer was very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The location was right in the middle of fatih so it was walkable. Beside the accoms, there is relatively cheap and affordable food too that doesnt feel overpriced. -
• Nicolo (8/5): Very good - The host was really friendly and nice. He gave us good advice and was available in case of any necessities
• Matthew (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly owner. Clean and bright room in quiet residential neighborhood. Nothing
• Koncos (9/5): Superb - Very nice staff, good location. The insulation is not enough to handle the noise of the people above.
• Victoria (10/5): Lovely History - truely lovely! - The Lovely History was exactly what the name suggests – lovely! From the warm welcome at the beginning to the charming room with beautiful decor and the cozy bed that gave us a great night’s sleep, everything was perfect. The place was spotless, and the air conditioning worked well for both heating and cooling. The house is very well located – we were able to walk to all the main sights like Hagia Sophia. Restaurants and cafés were also just a short walk away. When we return to beautiful Istanbul, we would definitely stay here again. LOVELY!
• Jack (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lucia (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. The room was not that big (same as the picture) but there is enough space if you don’t have many luggages with you. And there is everything you need. Close to the main center and attractions and close to one of the best bakeries in the area. The staff is really really nice and friendly. I highly recommend!
• Isabel (8/5): Very good -
