10/10

We have stayed at the Bank Hotel so many times now... for us it is like a home away from home... and that is how we are always treated by the staff. Like family. The hotel provides a beautiful oasis away from the bustle of the streets and the staff are simply the best. The position is perfect... within easy walking distance of the Galata and the Golden Horn.. Over the years we have brought friends and family and they have all loved it. Our deepest gratitude to Osman, Sahar and the team Bank Hotel. We cant wait to come back again!

4-night trip

10/10

This hotel was just like the pictures and there was hardly anything out of place. The customer service was always quick and professional whenever I needed anything or had a question. I place a premium on the air conditioning which many fancy hotels only pretend to have and deny any issues when you complain. That was not an issue here as the room was cold just as I preferred. The breakfast was very tasty and a combination of buffet style and made to order. The room did need some minor touch ups and the mattress was a bit firm for my liking. Another bonus was that this hotel actually gives you premium bathroom toiletry samples like shower gel and shampoo, which other hotels have phased out. I would probably stay here gain if return to lstanbul.

Everything cool but …the me yes and everything written on cards etc et VERY LITTLE LETTERS ..and with the addition that the paper they use is brown it makes it much more difficult ti read it. Its a unusual that in the breakfast everything is included but … if you ask for a cappuccino they will charge it …😳. Nice hotel. Nice location !

3-night trip

10/10

This hotel is perfectly located, close to the Galata bridge for visiting the old Istanbul and also close to Galata tower. The hotel is very clean, quiet and the staff is very friendly and supportive. We had a wonderful stay and would book it again.
4-night trip

10/10

Not the cheapest place to stay, but reasonable by western standards, especially given the high level of service in a classic, elegant building in an excellent location. The spa services - especially the packaging of massage and hammam - were wonderful (though, again, not very cheap by Istanbul standards). The breakfast was excellent and included made-to-order eggs. The room was very comfortable, with all the amenities one would expect in a high-end hotel.
1-night trip

Unbeatable location and the increadible interier makes this hotel one of the best places in Istanbul!

4-night trip

8/10

The hotel is well located to visit the main attractions for first-timers in Istanbul, like Sultanahmet or the Asian side. There are many dining options within walking distance as well. Rooms are not very big, but clean and comfortable. Service was very friendly. The gym and the spa were a bit deceiving, didn't match the overall level of the hotel.

The staff was the nicest staff I have ever encountered at a hotel.

Service was friendly and they really just made every effort you could ask for. Rooftop is a beautiful view and very relaxing. Spa was pretty good. Turkish bath was super fun as a couple. Massages were could but tables were cool I’d like them heated.
