The location of this hotel is fantastic! Minutes away from a large walking street and 20 mins from Taksim Square. Tons of shops and restaurants near by. A short downhill walk to Galataport (but uphill to home back)! Bed are hard though- could go with an update.

Hard to believe that a hotel whose rooms have no "views" can be so fantastic, but that's the story of The Story. What it has going for it is a great staff, attention to detail, great advice on things to do and places to go, clean and comfortable rooms, and a great location -- great value for money.
