I love this hotel. It is closed to everything. Only thing is that it is noisy at night as the bars and restaurant open late. I am not a sensitive sleeper and they have ear plugs in the room so it did not bother me. Overall, I like the property and definitely will come back again.

The Story Hotel is now our go-to in Istanbul. It's location is fantastic, easy walk to Galata or Taksim or Karakoy. The food in the area is superb. The shopping is either main street up market shopping, or side street boutique. The best thing though is the staff. They were friendly, went out of their way for us, even upgraded us as they had the ability to do that and get us into the room early from 2 long flights. We couldn't recommend them more and we'll be back.
