Comfortable and clean stay with easy access
Amazing experience from checkin to checkout. Friendly staff who made sure we and our daughter were comfortable, helped with the luggage, booking cabs and other requests. Clean hotel, convenient location next to metro station and the main shopping street. Not at all noisy despite close proximity to busy road.

The story with a happy ending
I picked this hotel due to previous reviews and the closeness to some bars and istikal street and a train station.
On arrival we were lucky enough to get the top duplex which suited is for the extra size. Check in was very friendly and efficient. The staff even offered to arrange a tour for us along bosphorus river was a nice touch.
Complimentary water was also provided.
If i return to Istanbul i will definitely look to stay at The Story Pera again.

We loved our three-day stay here in October 2024. Prior to arriving, we communicated via text several times, and the hotel arranged transportation from the airport, and also provided a list of recommended restaurants and made reservations for us. We stayed in a very special room with a balcony and a great view of the Bosphorus! The balcony was a great way to begin and end our days. The staff was very knowledgeable about the area. We would gladly stay here again.
