This hotel is centrally located near the shopping district which is easily accessible by foot. There are eatery choices nearby. The hotel itself is on a lightly travelled street (no cars) which means minimal to zero noise. The rooms are extremly modern and the staff..well...after all my travels in various budget ranges...this was by far the most helpful staff ever.... More

I got a tremendously good deal for this property on the Stories Apart website. My room was on the top floor, the ceiling was a little low, but it was large, had a view over rooftops, was amazingly quiet for this part of Taksim, and had a good minibar (and a kitchen that seemed mostly decorative, but this didn't bother...

Ideally situated to savor the local experience, Stories Apart Kuloglu is a sophisticated, minimalist boutique hotel well suited for travelers seeking to rejuvenate in between exploring their surroundings. It’s just steps away from lively Istiklal Caddesi, but the unique, memorable places for cuisine and nightlife are all on the side streets, so be adventurous! There was always a security guard...

I stayed a total of three nights (one at the start of my trip and two at the end of the trip) at Stories Apart Kuloglu. They were the best nights sleep that I got the entire trip. The hotel is perfectly located (though can be difficult for taxis to find), new, clean and extremely comfortable. The HOT shower was... More

recently renovated a super hotel in downtown of Istanbul near Taksim square. Enjoyed it very much. central location is a big plus (2 blocks from Istiklal str.), the stuff is very nice, rooms are very clean (daily service), new modern amenities in room and bathroom, illy coffee machine, full mini bar. Shortly - Stories Apart Kuluoglu is highly recommended!

I spent 7 days in Istanbul for New Year's Eve and couldn't be more happy about my hotel. Stories Apart is a renovated building right by Istiklal avenue and very near Taksim and Galata, so you are in the middle of all the buzz, but 2 streets apart, so the silence is incredible. As soon as you enter the hotel... More

My partner and I stayed in this amazing apartment for 8 nights. Location is perfect. The staff is very helpful and the apartment is just perfect! The only thing missing were utensils to whip something up in the kitchenette - but plenty of places nearby to eat. The room was cleaned impeccably each day - the fine details in the... More

We were in Istanbul for our honeymoon in October. We arrived in Istanbul after getting horribly sick in Capadoccia, enduring a stomach-turning flight, and navigating the topsy turvy side streets of Istiklal. I braced myself for another mediocre mid-range hotel... and was excited to find ourselves in a sleek, friendly and luxurious pied-a-terre with a rain shower, fireplace, and the... More

After a horrible experience previous nights in istanbul I found this gem of a hotel. Very nice spacious room, elegant bathroom and excellent location. Tried to prolong my stay but all of their 3 hotels were fully booked something that I can fully understand. Highly recommended!
