Our second time staying at this lovely hotel. While it is right off Istiklal street, the hotel itself is very quiet and staff very friendly and helpful. Everytime we stay here, we discover a new non-touristy neighbourhood near the hotel with plenty of dining options, bars and other interesting shops. Would definitely recommend.

The Story was a great place to stay and I highly recommend it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel supplied you with as much water as you can drink. Wonderful amenity when you’re hot and trying to stay hydrated. Our room was large and comfortable. WiFi and AC worked very well. My only complaint was the bed was very hard.
