Room cleanliness and amenities were as advertised. The staff were patient and helpful, on TV operation as one example. The location was perfect. Just off the main market artery but remarkably quiet.
Outstanding staff, spotless room, lovely size room, water, coffee, tea provided free and a mini bar. Excellent location and not loud. Easily walkable to Taksim square.
Always the perfect stay. My husband and I's third visit and will always return when in Istanbul. Staff always go above and beyond! Perfect location for our interests.
The property was conveniently located near lots of restaurants, bars, and shopping. The room was spacious and the staff was kind with great recommendations. Wonderful stay! Will recommend
Lovely stay at the Story Hotel Pera. Great welcome from Issa and Hero - provided an upgraded room and all the amenities required. Would definitely stay again!
I loved this hotel it was central to everything in Istanbul and the staff was literally the best! Jim and Mk always made sure we had the best recommendations around town and service!
Fantastic stay! Great location, very central to everything on İstiklal carte (right on a side street from the main shopping street of Taksim). Staff were very helpful and friendly and greeted us warmly, and gave excellent recommendations to breakfast, lunch and dinner of which we were very impressed vy
It is an absolutely wonderful hotel to stay near a lot of shopping and restaurants . Staff is excellent and very friendly. They go out of the way to help you. Property is clean. We were two adults and two children and it suited us very very well. There are a lot of options close by for shopping and restaurants. The overall vibe is great. The tram is close by very easy to get to the touristic places. Overall, we loved this place.
Top tier location to stay in when visiting Istanbul. Additionally the hotel was very clean and staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. I will be back!
Super nice staff, great interaction with all of them. Great coordination with airport transport (highly recommended, avoid headaches, traffic, and chances of someone stealing in metro or tram) plenty of food choices.
